Hard to believe we haven’t even hit Thanksgiving yet here in the states, and we are already getting a glimpse of Burda’s first issue for next year. (I know, I know, technically it comes out mid-December, but, still, first issue of 2015). January is usually the issue of crazy carnival get-ups and what can sometimes … More Newsflash: January Burda Early Preview Posted
The final issue of 2014 is here! The full preview of the December Burda can be seen on the Russian website. I wasn’t overly excited by the early preview of this issue, but I have to say some of the garment photos/line drawings have caught my eye in the full preview. I don’t think this … More Newsflash: December Burda Preview Posted
My copy of the Burda Vintage magazine arrived in the mail the other day. While I was hoping to get a few more patterns than we were shown in the early preview, I wasn’t too surprised when I didn’t. What I was surprised about was the quality of the magazine – it definitely felt like … More Burda Vintage is Here!
By this point it should be fairly apparent to anyone who has seen my blog that I am pretty much a Burda fangirl. So when I heard about the release of the latest book in the BurdaStyle collection, BurdaStyle Modern Sewing: Wardrobe Essentials, I was rather excited and pre-ordered it right away. This was, unfortunately, … More Book Review: BurdaStyle Modern Sewing: Wardrobe Essentials
The German website and P-an-da blog have the early preview up for the December Burda issue. I have to say, I’m not loving the official early preview photos overly much – perhaps it is the fabrics hiding details, but everything looks sort of generic and blah. I am, however, seeing at least a few things of … More Newsflash: December Burda Early Preview Posted
One of my favorite issues every year is the “Burda Classics” issue – simple, classic designs that work well in a wardrobe. This year, however, the magazine has been names “Burda Vintage” and apparently has updated versions of Vintage Burda patterns. I’m not normally a huge vintage pattern sewer, but, I have to say, I’m … More Newsflash: Burda Vintage Early Preview Posted
The Russian Burda website has the full preview of the November Burda posted. I’ve been excited about this issue since the October issue showed up – and I have to say I’m not disappointed. Even designs that I was a bit luke-warm towards during the early preview seem to have won me over with line … More Newsflash: November Burda Preview Posted
The alternative title for this post should be Pattern Review: Burda 7443/Pattern Review: Burda 7057. It’s been so long since I’ve done a pattern review I’ve almost forgotten how to do them! It’s been nice using TNT patterns to make things this year, but I’ve missed testing out new patterns. It’s something I want to … More Project Dirndl Completed!
The early preview photos from the November Burda are up on the German and Russian websites. I’ve been excited for this issue ever since my October edition showed up in the mail. I’m pretty much still super excited. Additional images on p-an-da are awesome too. I know a lot of people don’t care much for … More Newsflash: November Burda Early Preview Posted
Droject Dirndl is done! My creations are winging their way to Munich as we speak, and I’ll be posting photos and pattern reviews soon-ish (I hope). I’ve already got a lot of skating costume orders, but mostly for practice costumes at this point, so it isn’t as intense as it gets during summer. And after … More Project Reunion
