Normally when the new Burda catalog comes out it’s a day of excitement and confetti around here, but this release has been a bit disappointing. Not because the designs are bad, but because the majority are styles we’ve already had in the magazines. Which means there really isn’t a lot I’m wanting to add to … More Burda Catalog Patterns Fall/Winter 2019
My Image is one of those sewing magazines that offers some nice basics. I really like a lot of the styles they have this year’s fall/winter selection. It was released a while ago (I think just before I left?), but you can still order it here. I usually don’t have any trouble with shipping to … More My Image Magazine Fall/Winter 2019
The new distributors who are taking over for GLP have sent out a letter detailing which of the former GLP offered magazines they have or will be distributing in the coming months: Hopefully by now everyone who had a Burda subscription with GLP has received their magazines, but in case you haven’t there is contact … More Burda Distribution Updated Update!
At this point the August Burda is probably old news to most people (my copy even arrived already!), but it’s such a good issue I really wanted to give it the full post that it deserves. I’m so excited for fall fashions this year! It’s the start of Burda’s fall offerings, so of course the … More August 2019 BurdaStyle Magazine
Even though June wrapped up over a month ago, I wanted to keep up with my Kibbe Challenge update posts. Obviously, no Kibbe related sewing has happened the past five weeks (I’ve been traveling a lot and haven’t had any access to a sewing machine), BUT I did sew one thing in June that never … More Sew Your Kibbe Challenge – Super Late June Round Up
And, in an attempt to post something slightly relevant to what’s been happening in the sewing sphere today, let’s look at the Fall releases from Vogue! V1631 – Custom Fit. Love this dress! It reminds me very much of the Roland Mouret Galaxy Dress knock off from years back. Also interesting to note that the … More Vogue Patterns Fall 2019
Rolling along with all of the pattern releases I have missed since summer started, here is the Early Fall collection from Simplicity: S8944 – The Artful Jumper. I feel like this has been designed to appeal to the indie crowd, but it just isn’t doing it for me. I mean, it’s fine, but it isn’t … More Simplicity Patterns Early Fall 2019
I have returned! I will give a more in-depth look back at my summer adventures after I get caught up on all of the pattern releases and other posts I’ve fallen behind on the past month and a half. By now I’m sure most of the sewing sphere has moved on from this news, but … More McCall’s Patterns Early Fall 2019
I just wanted to post a quick note to my dedicated blog readers who are probably hoping for upcoming posts about the new McCall’s patterns, the new MyImage Magazine, and the August Burda, not to mention my June Sew Your Kibbe update. Sadly, I have to admit that I won’t have time to get these … More Post Postponement
I first wrote about the close of GLP News here, and posted an update here; but this past week Roltek/Sunrise News has sent out the June Burda issues that had apparently been transferred from the old GLP subscriptions. This is great news! It means nobody missed out on the June issue, and that normal services … More BurdaStyle US Distribution: Updated Update to the Update
