All 43 styles are featured in the "Styles at a Glance" section preceding the instructions. The US edition is disappointing and misleading: it took me an hour to realize that over half of the patterns weren't in the magazine and had to be bought separately.

To my understanding, the Winter 2013 issue included patterns with a free download code.why not in this issue, too? According to one blogger, buying all the extra patterns would total upwards of $130 per magazine!Īs it is, the magazine is half glorified advertising-between the pages of pattern drawings, instructions, and photo spreads of patterns that must be bought separately and the irritating features. What? More than half of the patterns in the magazine must be paid for separately.

I scanned the instructions and was excited to see how easy these patterns were to sew up, but wait.where were the patterns? Not in the pattern insert, but online.for $5.99 each! The cover beckoned with an enticing " 20 Full-Size Fashion Sewing Pattern Insert, +23 more style to download!" and in the editor's note " 43 original BurdaStyle designs." I delightfully found patterns that would work perfectly with my wardrobe, like the Cropped Cowl Top and the Tiered Mini Skirt. Not that I have children, but if ever I have to make a Christmas or birthday gift, patterns would be nice to have.Īlso, it appears that the US edition is merely recycling patterns that first appeared two years ago in the international issues. There are also no children's patterns included. This issue also contained more advertisements than its international counterpart. Really? If I wanted the season's "hottest hues and makeup musts," I'd read trash like Seventeen or Cosmopolitan. As a Public Relations student, I just see pages and pages of press releases translated into product placement an example is the two-page spread on makeup and hair products. This is where the positives of the magazine end.Īlso unlike the international Burdastyle magazine, the US edition has much more advertisements and features.

Instructions were printed in a larger, easier-to-read font. The pattern sheet also feels thicker and sturdier. Unlike my Portuguese issue of Burdastyle magazine, the US edition is thicker, with a strong binding and pattern instructions printed on glossy paper rather than newsprint. I eagerly signed up for the yearly subscription, and received the Spring 2014 issue last week. Like many sewists, I was ecstatic when Burdastyle announced their United States edition of the Burdastyle magazine.
