It’s that time of year again… The time of year when most sewing bloggers are participating in Me Made May. The time of year when most sewing bloggers are making lovely, bright spring looks.

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
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
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
Burda has announced it’s semi-annual catalog collection for Spring/Summer! Burda tends to be my favorite pattern brand, both in terms of style and fit, but because I have an extensive magazine collection, I find I can often limit my envelope purchases. But for some reason my first impression of this collection was that I wanted … More Burda Spring/Summer 2018 Catalog Collection
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
Another year done, which means we have another set of BurdaStyle Magazine issues in the stash! This year I feel like everyone has been pretty positive towards the looks we’ve been getting from Burda, but often hindsight and distance puts things in perspective, especially after the newness wow factor wears off a bit. In case … More A Year in Review: BurdaStyle Magazine 2017
Although I’m not really “in it to win it” with the stash busting contest, I am having fun finding uses for fabrics that have been in my stash for quite some time. Although I did like my first entry for the stash contest, I didn’t feel it was quite right for the party I was … More Pattern Review: BurdaStyle Magazine 11-2015-113 Red/Gold Sheath Dress (Stash Contest Entry #2)
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
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 holiday season is here, and I am in absolutely no way ready for it … More December 2017 BurdaStyle Magazine
