Burda is for the experienced
The 5-star reviews are very accurate, but some important issues have been left out, hence my 3-star rating. I have a problem with two things. #1. Unlike the big 4 pattern makers, Burda usually only offers a front drawn image of the piece of clothing. Details are sometimes impossible to see because you only get one side and no detailed written description of the clothing. If you go to the photos of the models, the details can also be very hard to see because the photos are like those in fashion magazines (except poorer quality, so images are not as sharp). Models are posed artistically, arms folded over the chest, lounging across a couch... Often the clothes are in dark colors, where details, again, cannot be discerned. And because the line drawings ... Read More
super fun with patterns
I just received my first edition of Burda in the mail, I'm very impressed! The magazine is very high quality and the patterns are simple to figure out. I'm not the most experienced seamstress in the world, but I feel this publication allows me just enough challenge while gently guiding me through different techniques so that I can explore and develop my own creativeness. I love it's DIY aspect and scope of different projects from babies clothing to home decor to haute couture.
It's in there
Please understand, this isn't a catalog of patterns you can order, the patterns are IN the MAGAZINE! There's a thick paper section in the middle that has the patterns printed on it. They are printed over top of each other in different colors and you have to trace them, plus they do NOT have seam allowances, you have to add those, but they are right there, multisized, and in different size ranges.
I have subscribed for many years, and now whenever I want to make something, I snuggle up in my rocking chair with a pile of Burda magazines, find what I want, and start. I made a skirt for my daughter when she was a teenager - let her pick a picture, compared her measurements to the pattern measurements, traced one size for the waist, another ... Read More
Good but bad
I just received my first BWOF magazine and I love the clothing, but there are no pictures to go with the pattern instructions like the Big 4 have. I am a very visual person and I need pictures that show how to do the steps. There is one pattern that has pictures with the instructions but the rest have cryptic instructions and no pictures. I am very unhappy about this. However, I will continue subscribing because I am just going to depend on sewing books to help me with the steps.
