As usual, the folks at Burda Fashion Russia are on top of things and have posted the preview for the new Burda Plus magazine. Although, well, it might be something of a stretch to call it “new.” I don’t spend as much time staring at the plus sized fashions in the regular Burda mags as … More Newsflash – Burda Plus Spring/Summer Issue Posted
Once again Burda Fashion Russia has speedily posted the full preview of the next Burda Style magazine. Like January, I would have to say that, overall, I am not super impressed with this issue.

February looks like it will have an interesting mix of styles… Casual “winter” beachy styles… Asian influence (I am sort of excited for this section)… Bright colors… Modern styles… Maternity clothes… And pretty dresses for the plus sizes… So far I … More Newsflash – February Burda Early Preview Posted
As followers of my blog know, one of my favorite things to ramble on about is my analysis of the BurdaStyle Magazine early previews.

Well, since the events of last week were a bit devastating for me, I was a bit bummed this weekend. The sewing machine and serger have been moved to my parents house (perhaps a blessing in disguise? As I will be home quite a bit the next few weeks due to the holidays), but have not been … More Confessions of a Stash: December Weekend Haul
German Burda has posted all of the garment photos here. Â So far I haven’t seen anything that I love and absolutely must have, but there are a few interesting dresses. Â I need to see how they look in the line drawings and model photos first though, before I do my typical review post.
The full preview including the model photos, garment photos, and line drawings has been posted to the Russian Burda website. All in all I would have to say I am really excited by the patterns in this magazine. Although there are not quite as many great classics as were in the October issue, and the … More Newsflash – December Burda Full Preview
Originally, my plan was to make the Vogue 7997 top first, then sew up these pants. But, well, cutting out the fabric for the Vogue pattern went so fast I thought I might as well trace and cut out the pieces for these pants too. I mean, there are only 3 pieces to trace and … More Pattern Review: BS 06-2011-114A
I am super excited because at last I can show off my green wool coat! I have been working on this for the past few weeks and hours before the big event at the Coldest Arena in the World, the hemming was finished. I am pleased to report that it is both comfortable to wear … More Pattern Review: BWOF 01-2001-120/121
