The early preview of the 2013 Fall/Winter Burda Style has been posted to the Russian website, which you can check out here. It looks like most of the Burda Style Easy previews – lots of basic tops and skirts, but I do like some of the coats in the preview. It seems like color blocking … More Newsflash: Early Preview of Fall/Winter Burda Style Easy
Butterick has announced their latest collection of patterns – you can check them out here. All in all I have to say this is the best Big 4 collection we have seen for fall this year. There are a lot of cute dresses, some nice coat and jacket options, and possibly the only maternity pants … More Newsflash: New Butterick Patterns Announced
Ok, I don’t think this has been officially announced (since I have been stalking the Simplicity website, and the main page of the German website only mentioned the early preview), but as has been indicated by the inside cover of the most recent Burda magazines, it seems that the full collection can be seen on … More Newsflash: Burda 2013 Fall/Winter Pattern Collection
Burda Russia has posted the full preview of the September issue. And I am sad you guys. Really sad.

The Russian Burda website has just posted the full preview of the Fall/Winter Burda Plus Magazine. My overall impression: not terrible, but not exciting.

I mean, it looks like there are a few things of interest, but nothing I am really looking forward to making. Hopefully the full preview will change my mind… Jacket: Is ok. Pants: … More Newsflash: September Burda Early Preview Posted
To all of my regular readers: I am in the final push of my crazy busy insane sewing/skating summer schedule. Posts will continue to be light for a while, but with any luck I should be back sewing things for myself (or at least postable objects) by the end of next month. In the meantime, … More Newsflash: August Burda Full Preview Posted
German Burda has posted a few preview pictures of the upcoming Fall/Winter 2013 envelope pattern collection. So far from the previews…. meh. I am actually more excited about some of the patterns I have seen in the upcoming August Burda than I am by most of these preview images. But, well, this is only a … More Newsflash: Burda Fall/Winter Collection Early Preview Posted
August is always a transitional issue as Burda moves from boring simple summer patterns to more detailed fall and winter looks. This year looks to continue that trend. Can’t say I am salivating over any of these designs just yet, but, well, certainly looks better than July. Right now I am questioning some of their fabric … More Newsflash: August Burda Early Preview Posted
The full preview of the July Burda has been posted to the Russian Burda website. As I feared/predicted/have come to expect, since the June Burda was soooo good, the July issue is, well, just not. I mean, there are some good pieces, but nothing that I would consider truly spectacular. And the crazy…. oh yes … More Newsflash – July Burda Preview Posted
