This year it looks like Burda is publishing a special accessories issue, at least in Germany. I’m not sure how easy it will be to acquire this magazine, or put together the patterns if it is only published in German, but I figured the content was at least worth a look… I haven’t quite figured … More BurdaStyle Accessories 2018
The June Burda announcement has been posted on both the Russian and German sites. I have to admit that a first scroll through left me feeling a bit disappointed, because there wasn’t anything really jumping out at me. But upon further examination, I am actually fairly excited for this issue. It’s not quite the obsessed … More June 2018 BurdaStyle Magazine
The May BurdaStyle Magazine announcement is up, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’m really excited! Burda has been killing it this year – and May looks to be no exception. I especially love that they’ve really brough May back to being “the dress issue” – there are an overwhelming number of … More BurdaStyle May 2018
My Image usually only produces 2 magazines a year (in the adult sizes): Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter, along with a few new PDF patterns that are included as part of a magazine purchase. However, this year they’ve released a special Summer issue of the magazine, not included as part of a normal subscription. There aren’t as … More My Image Summer 2018
The latest issue of BurdaStyle Magazine is here! Early previews left me very unexcited for April, but now that the full preview is posted, I’m obsessed with some of the new patterns. The Burda Plus section is especially strong this month as well. Burda’s been on a roll so far this year, and it looks … More April 2018 BurdaStyle Magazine
The German Burda website has announced the Spring/Summer Burda Plus Magazine! Happily, they’ve done the work for me an announced that many of the patterns are from the June 2016, July 2014, and November 2014 issues, which I’ve already reviewed. So today I’m just going to look at the 8 new looks that will be … More Burda Plus Spring/Sumer 2018
So far this year has been a pretty banging one for Burda – January and February were both stellar editions of the magazine. I don’t think March is quite as good, but it’s still a pretty decent issue. March, as per tradition, is the “wedding issue,” so it skews a bit towards fancy frocks and a … More March 2018 BurdaStyle Magazine
The Spring/Summer Burda Easy Magazine has been announced! Burda Easy is now only available in German (at least through the US subscription service), but the patterns can be pretty simple, the instructions tend to be more cohesive, and the pattern sheets are much easier to trace off. Typically there are a few base patterns, each … More Spring/Summer 2018 Burda Easy Magazine
The February announcement of BurdaStyle Magazine has been posted! While I don’t think this issue is quite as good as January, I do think there are plenty of great patterns this month too. Where January felt like there were a lot of bold, stand-out patterns, this month I’m more impressed with the sort of supporting garments … More February 2018 BurdaStyle Magazine
The spring edition of My Image Magazine has arrived! I’ve been following My Image since their beginnings, and have nearly every issue, though I’ve only made one pattern from them thus far. I find I’m still far more drawn to the early issues of this magazine, and still have many of their early patterns on … More My Image Magazine #16
