I think it’s really uncool to sneak paid downloads into the magazine. For each garment in the magazine, we’ve also fleshed-out and detailed the instructions even more (including those that can be downloaded on the website). The magazine now continues to have full-size inserts for 20 of the patterns within the magazine, and the remaining patterns are available as paid downloads here on.
BURDA MAGAZINE REVIEW FREE
We included free downloads as part of our premier launch issue (our Winter 2014 issue of the magazine). The first issue contained free downloadable patterns as a teaser. And, I was really excited when I got my magazine.īut I think it’s been a really big letdown. I read the Burdastyle website, I stalked their blog for a few weeks, looking for the promised updates on the contents. So, I’ve been looking forward to the Spring issue. While the rest of the country has been suffering through an insane cold snap this winter, we’ve had record heat. My primary reason for not making any of the winter offerings was the heat here. I am looking forward to trying a few of the designs in the magazine.
BURDA MAGAZINE REVIEW FULL
There were some pattern inserts and some downloads so that I could get a full flavor of 2 different Burda pattern-using options. There were some patterns that I wanted to make (but have only gotten around to ogling and considering for the 100th time). So, for $30, I figured that it was worth trying out to see whether Burda pattern magazines were something that I could use in the future (and fork out the $90 for the full monthly subscriptions). But, I also heard some good things about the first issue: the patterns had seam allowances the patterns were less crowded (and easier to trace for a newbie) on the insert page and it included lots of helpful tips for a first-time pattern magazine-user. I listened to the criticisms that: the patterns were not new, but (in some cases) several years old and the patterns were not organized in a single index of looks. I saw the sewists’ reviews about the first Winter 2014 issue. But then Burdastyle announced a US version of the magazine with quarterly issues for a $30 subscription fee. (In a world of $1 pattern sales, $90 for a pattern magazine seemed outlandish). I just couldn’t bring myself to pay for a full year of the English-language German subscription, though. And I’ve been so interested to follow Lower Your Presser Foot, as this blogger sewed one pattern a month from her Burda magazine subscription last year. I really enjoyed seeing the images that Oobop! regularly posts – including extensive reviews and photos of the magazines. The things that people made from Burda patterns always seem to look so cool. I always meant to subscribe to Burda pattern magazines.
