So, here’s what’s up: Hancock Fabrics Thursday April 5 – Monday April 9, $2.49 Burda envelope patterns. Also, they will also be having a $0.99 sale on Butterick … More Pattern Sales: Burda!

The early preview for the May 2012 BurdaStyle magazine can be viewed here. So far I don’t see anything super inspiring, but also nothing hideous. Seems like most of the preview pictures are following the big trends this season: More color blocking Maxi dress I like the relaxed looking shirt and these pants too! I … More Newsflash – Burda May Early Preview Posted
BurdaStyle Russia has the full preview of the latest Burda Easy Fashion up for viewing. In general, there is nothing that I am super excited about, so I don’t think I will actually try to find this issue. But that doesn’t mean we can’t look at some of the designs inside… I think this skirt … More Newsflash – Burda Easy Fashion Spring/Summer 2012 Announced
The full preview of the April Burda Style has been posted to the Russian website here. And, well, I have to say I am actually more excited now that I have seen the full preview.

The second item completed in my bout of spontaneous sewing is style 122 from the March Burda. This was one of the patterns I liked right away, and it grew on me the longer I looked at it in the magazine. Even better, the top uses the same pieces as shirt 121, which I also … More Pattern Review: BS 03-2012-122
Alright, so I am taking a bit of a break from my sewing challenge (and making skating dresses) to sew up a few things because I decided I wanted to make them now. Also, because they are fast knit projects and won’t take up a lot of time. This is the first of these quickie … More Pattern Review: BS 03-2012-121A
BurdaStyle Germany has posted the early preview of the April edition. My first impression: meh. Very meh. I mean, some things look ok, but nothing looks spectacular. This is fine, but not as pretty as the similar dress in the previous issue. The skirt is fine, but boring. Pants might be ok, but the shirt … More Newsflash – Burda April Early Preview Posted
