Ok, these partial previews on the German website are killing me. So glad the Russians are going their own way and posting full previews with garment, model, and line drawing pictures. Overall I have to say the September issue is pretty good. No crazy dirndls (well, ok, maybe one), no fuzzy vests, lots of good basics, and … More Newsflash: September Burda Preview Announced!
Since I haven’t been posting as much in the past few months some of this is a backlog, and some of it is souvenir fabric shopping from nationals. The patterns were won in a hard-fought Ebay battle. There may or may not have been blood. From Fashion Fabrics Club: Blue wool jersey (for a top) and red … More Fabric and Patterns, Oh My!
Ok, so despite the craziness of prepping for nationals, frantically replacing my sewing machine, and trying to get everything done, I was too excited by my recent stash acquisitions that I just had to share them. It has been pretty hectic since my sister returned from Europe, and I haven’t had time to properly document … More Last Great European Pattern Haul
The German website is first to post a preview of the August garments, but it looks to be only a partial posting. You can see their preview with the garment photos and line drawings. The awesomesauce new Russian website has the full preview here. Overall I have to say that, even if there isn’t anything … More Newsflash: Burda August Preview Announced
The Russia website has posted their early preview of the August issue. Burda is definitely heading into fall, and I must say that there is a lot more to intrigue me than in the summer issues. Although it is a bit hard to tell before the line drawings come out, so far I am liking … More Newsflash – Burda August Early Preview Posted
Ok, so yesterday I posted when the German website put up the full preview of the garment images, but today Russian Burda has put up a full preview of all the magazine images! Awesome! The model photos don’t really do anything to change my opinion of what is in this issue, BUT it appears German … More Burda July Update – I Jumped the Gun!
The German Burda website has posted the full preview of the garment images and line drawings for July. Overall I have to say this is my least favorite issue this year so far. There really aren’t any fabulously tailored pieces, and even their easy resort-wear is sort of a joke – let’s make things out … More Newsflash: July Burda Full Preview Posted!
The much anticipated and somewhat feared transition to the new Russian Burda website is complete. Â You can check it out here: http://www.burdastyle.ru It seems to have a lot of the features of the newer German and American websites, EXCEPT it also has a page for the journals! Â It has all of the magazines from this … More Newsflash – New Russian Burda Website is Up!
The German Burda website has put up their own preview of the July Burda. I am not too impressed. If you are looking for shorts or loose button-down shirt you might be in luck. Otherwise… meh. I still hold out hope for the full preview, but I am not holding out too much hope at this … More More Burda July Preview Pictures
Double header today – both the July Early Preview AND the Summer Butterick Patterns have been announced. As for the Burda announcement, well, I wasn’t too excited by the assortment of large, shapeless sacks I saw in many of the photos: Sack dress strikes again! Those shorts are not attractive. But then I saw this … More Newsflash – Burda July Early Preview AND New Butterick Patterns Announced!
