So last year it was pretty much general consensus that Burda was on top of it. Seriously, they were nailing trends and giving us lots of cool pattern options. While I think the start of this year was a bit disappointing (aside from the generally lackluster designs, they’ve scaled back on the number of patterns, … More BurdaStyle Magazine April 2017
Hard to believe my February Burda has just barely arrived and I’m already looking at stuff for March. Time is flying. Which might not be the worst thing for the next 4 years. Anyway, you know its going to be a rough month when I come out and say that the wedding gowns are by … More BurdaStyle Magazine March 2017
First off – I must apologize for the late posting of this review. I was studying for an important exam, and then I was out of town the week that a bunch of new patterns dropped. It’s been a long few weeks with little sleep and a fair bit of stress, so the blog had … More February BurdaStyle Magazine 2017
I think everyone would be pretty confident in saying that it has been a pretty good year from BurdaStyle Magazine. The Burda Plus sections in particular have been pretty fabulous. Although I feel that I wasn’t as excited by the issues at the end of the year, I think that this has been a pretty … More A Year in Review: BurdaStyle Magazine 2016
Hard to believe, but it’s already time to start looking at the 2017 BurdaStyle Magazines! January issues tend to be pretty hit or miss for me, but this year’s mish-mash of business attire, workout gear, pjs, and toned down carnival costumes actually has quite a few garments I think I could incorporate into my wardrobe … More BurdaStyle Magazine January 2017
The final issue of this year’s Burda magazines is here! Normally December is one of my favorite issues of the year, with some classic party dresses and awesome coats. This year I’d have to say that there are fewer patterns than usual that I’m really excited about, but there also aren’t any truly terrible patterns … More December 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
I don’t feel that I would have much argument with the statement that Burda has been knocking it out of the park this year. There have been a lot of stylish, wearable looks that are very on trend and exciting enough to make me (and a lot of other people) want to sew. Typically I … More BurdaStyle Magazine November 2016
The October Burda has been announced on the German and Russian websites! October has always been one of my favorite Burda months – more often than not we get some really amazing looks for fall. Despite the fact that the Burda Plus section is 100% dirndls, I would have to say that this year is … More October 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
I’ve spent about a week getting caught up at work since getting home from Nationals, but it feels like I’ve fallen incredibly far behind on sewing news because EVERYONE has released their fall patterns! I’ve got reviews for McCall’s, Butterick, New Look, and Simplicity coming up, not to mention that the Burda Easy Fall/Winter Magazine … More September 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
It’s that time again – another new Burda is headed our way. I’m always excited when the August issue rolls around – I’m typically a big fan of Burda’s fall and winter fashions. And I’m happy to say that I think this year’s issue starts fall sewing off on a high note. There are lots … More BurdaStyle Magazine August 2016
