The December Burda has barely been out and the January Preview is up! I’ve been pretty excited by most of the issues from 2017, and it looks like this is going to roll into 2018 too. I can’t wait for this issue! I love so many of the patterns coming out next month, not to … More January 2018 BurdaStyle Magazine
I wasn’t planning on entering any more Pattern Review contests this year; the Sewing Bee was quite a bit of effort and I sort of wanted to meander where I would with the remaining month this year. However, since the final contest is a stash-busting contest, I figured it would be worth a go. I … More Pattern Review: BurdaStyle Magazine 12-2017-120 Red Velvet Dress (Stash Contest Entry #1)
It seems hard to believe, but we are finally looking at the final Burda magazine for the year! The second half of this year has absolutely flown by; it’s hard to believe we are already looking at things for December.

The preview for the Fall/Winter Burda Easy Magazine has been posted on the German Burda website. Burda Easy typically includes 5-6 base patterns with variations, and this issue is no different. It also tends to skew a bit younger than the regular monthly issues, and contains a few more trendy looks rather than super classic … More Burda Easy Fall/Winter 2017
It seemed like everyone was pretty enthused by last month’s issue, and hopefully everyone will be equally excited by the options for September. This month, in my humble opinion, is even better than last month. Yes, there are certainly a few oversized ruffly pieces and a spread in horrible 90s-esque dark florals that obscure some lovely … More BurdaStyle Magazine September 2017
The Russian Burda site has the full preview of the August issue up, and I’m pretty excited with what I’m seeing. I think this is going to be one of those classic Burda issues – lots of really good wearable pieces, with a few memorable but not too over the top designs.
