The Fall/Winter Burda Easy Magazine has been announced on both the German and Russian websites! Burda Easy is one of the Burda publications I used to ignore – I felt like the designs were too simple and not the more classic and elegant Burda styles that I really love. Over the past few years, though, … More Burda Easy Fall/Winter 2016
I’ve spent about a week getting caught up at work since getting home from Nationals, but it feels like I’ve fallen incredibly far behind on sewing news because EVERYONE has released their fall patterns! I’ve got reviews for McCall’s, Butterick, New Look, and Simplicity coming up, not to mention that the Burda Easy Fall/Winter Magazine … More September 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
The Burda Fall/Winter 2016 Envelope Catalog patterns (EDIT: also seen here, since German Burda has updated its website) have been announced on the German Burda Website. I’m an undeniable Burda fangirl, so I’m always excited by the biannual release of the new Burda catalog. I don’t think I’ve added quite as many patterns to my … More Fall/Winter 2016 Burda Catalog Patterns
It’s that time again – another new Burda is headed our way. I’m always excited when the August issue rolls around – I’m typically a big fan of Burda’s fall and winter fashions. And I’m happy to say that I think this year’s issue starts fall sewing off on a high note. There are lots … More BurdaStyle Magazine August 2016
In honor of finally being finished with sewing skating costumes for regionals (the nationals pile is still quite high, but I’ll get there soon enough), I’m actually *gasp* writing a post. I’ve still got a bit of an E6000 high going on from gluing the rhinestones, so you’ll hopefully forgive me if I’m a bit … More BurdaStyle Magazine July 2016
The June issue of the Burda magazine has been announced (and shipped! – mine just showed up today). I’ve been a bit luke-warm towards Burda lately, but I have to admit I really like this issue. I think there are some really nice designs here. I’m also excited to see that Burda has used the … More June 2016 Burdastyle Magazine
When I first bought a sewing machine, my primary goal was to sew skating costumes (be careful what you wish for, eh?), but the very first thing I sewed was a cosplay style costume for an event in LA. I was ready to go down the path of being a cosplayer/costume sewer exclusively, but … More Frozen Jedi: Jedi Elsa and Jedi Anna Cosplay
The full preview for the May Burda has been up on the Russian site for a few weeks now… but I haven’t been feeling particularly inspired to blog about it. Usually May is the month of the fun spring dresses, but this year if feels as though we are already fully into loose fitting summer … More May 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
So I am incredibly far behind on posting recent pattern releases – I’ve got Simplicity, Vogue, McCall’s, and Burda Easy Magazine in the queue. I’ve also been incredibly busy – so no idea when those posts will actually show up. Not to mention a pattern review that needs to get written. Between work, work, more … More April 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
The latest issue from Burda is here! As is traditional, March is the wedding issue, which means lots of dresses and formal looks. Interestingly, this year Burda has mixed the Burda Plus styles in with the traditional sizes in the wedding shoot, which is pretty awesome. There isn’t a lot of variety in this issue, … More March 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
