Ok, so while I will spend hours pawing through the new Burda Style previews each month, I am only giving the announcements and previews of their other product lines a cursory review. The full preview of the Fall/Winter Burda Plus can be seen on the Russian website. This is actually a great issue. Can’t resist showing some … More Newsflash – Burdas Abound
This time Burda Russia wins out as the first website to have the full preview with model and garment photos and line drawings. If you think you stand it, you can take a look here. Since one can never be entirely sure of Google Translate (it tells me “Puff Pastry!” when I want to click through … More The Hills Are Alive with the Sound of Burda (aka Newsflash – September Burda Style Preview Posted)
I know that one of the complaints of many of the older BWOF lovers is that there is no way to search through the patterns online. Well, the complaints have been heard, and the patterns are now searchable! Well, sort of. At least, dating back to 2009. But the patterns are searchable by style (dresses, … More BurdaStyle Russian Archives – New Navigator Feature!
I know that the first preview was posted on on the German website about a day ago, but I prefer to reserve judgement until I can actually see the model pictures and get a full perspective from the garment pictures, the model pictures, and the line drawings. Luckily, Burda Fashion Italia, as well as the Russian Burda website … More Newsflash – August Burda Style Preview Posted
Continuing my theme of posting projects that I completed in time for June, I thought next I would show my most disappointing project: the Burda 8292 coat. Now, I don’t think my disappointment stems from the pattern itself, but rather my poor choice of fabrics and impatience to make this coat in time for the wedding. I really wanted … More Pattern Review: Burda 8292
Ok, I am still super happy with this dress that I made, and I can’t wait any longer to post it. As you may recall, I was invited to a (most excellent and absolutely lovely) wedding in June. My fourth wedding ever, and third in recent memory, I was determined to wear something other than … More Pattern Review: BS 04-2011-109
So while I haven’t been posting or sewing much lately, I have been thinking about sewing and acquiring lots of new fun fabrics and patterns in the last half month. Firstly, Fashionista Fabrics had a huge sale of old Burda World of Fashion magazines. Sadly, they are all sold out now, and they currently only have June … More Confession Time: Accumulation of a Stash
Ok, so I know I wasn’t going to be posting for a while, but July Burda is worthy of an exception. Well, maybe “worthy” is not the right word, but well, it gets an exception none-the-less. I know this is the summer edition, end everything is supposed to be all easy-breezy but seriously? Although nothing … More Newsflash – July Burda Style Preview Posted
So, as may have been obvious, I have recently been ooooh-ing and ahhhhh-ing over the Burda Style Magazine pants patterns. I would really really love to be able to make the perfect pant. I have never been able to find pants that fit. Too long or too short. If they fit my thigh then the … More Pattern Review: Vogue 1051, Or The Search for the Perfect Pant
I have been doing a lot of talking about Burda lately, but I haven’t shown any of my projects. I thought it was about time I showed off my first Burda project ever. I discussed my introduction to Burda here. When I got the February magazine, there weren’t a lot of things I wanted to make, … More Pattern Review: BS 02-2011-106
