I still have some older issues and ill take them over new ones any time. It's so sad and dissapointing, but it seems like since then magazine became so "blah"! Burda magazine played a huge role in developing of my fashion and style sense, it used to be so colourful, so rich in pattern and project varieties! Every issue was highly anticipated and it never dissapointed me. It will really take someone as talented and dedicated as Anne Burda herself to give this magazine a "second wind".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297064581728205842.post-82740436284277951552012-01-29T01:08:22.366-05:002012-01-29T01:08:22.366-05:00You know I've been finding Knipmode a lot more...You know I've been finding Knipmode a lot more creative and fun. There are at least 3 patterns in the Jan & 3 more in the Feb issues that I would love to make up right now. But I probably won't discontinue my Burda. I get the sense there are some business "issues", "problems", "rearrangements" or whatever as it looks like they are trying to save $$$, and in so doing are driving away so much of their meat-and-potatoes core audience/subscribers, but they didn''t ask me!ClaireOKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794385586295229490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297064581728205842.post-48699951814342209212012-01-28T09:34:37.966-05:002012-01-28T09:34:37.966-05:00I never subscribed to Burda.

BUT on the other hand, every pattern I've made has been a real winner for me and fit MUCH better than the Big 4. SO, the way I am choosing to look at it is, as long as I'm liking the same proportion of patterns as I like every time the big 4 put out their latest season, I will continue to subscribe. Because, honestly, I don't like all or even most Big 4 patterns either. I only buy what I really like and want to make.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297064581728205842.post-24932025806819549582012-01-27T14:33:28.636-05:002012-01-27T14:33:28.636-05:00There is nothing in BurdaStyle magazine for me, ei...There is nothing in BurdaStyle magazine for me, either.<br />I gave up my subscription when they started putting too many patterns on one paper.

This February issue was the only one I've called GLP for and that's because I want to see the pattern pieces for the color blocked dress that Audrey (Sew Tawdry) just made. Will I reinvent the wheel? No, I will cart out my TNT pattern to get the dress I want in my size but NO not missing Burda at all!<br /><br />Actually lately I'm starting to feel very grateful for my TNT patterns and the patterns I've already stashed since the goal for me is to have fashionable yet wearable clothing and I think I can get that from my present collection.<br /><br />Sadly, it seems the more disposable dollars I have the less I want to share them with the pattern companies.Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297064581728205842.post-44748445097984368672012-01-27T12:04:24.853-05:002012-01-27T12:04:24.853-05:00Yes, I have to agree that big tent-like sacks don&...Yes, I have to agree that big tent-like sacks don't do anyone any favours! <br />Thinking about patterns generally, I was waiting and waiting for the new Vogues. Now that I have seen them, nothing really catches my eye. So maybe it's me? Maybe I am just grumpy and hard to please? On the other hand, sometimes it takes me a while to appreciate new patterns. I might like them better in a month or so.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551387452771116176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297064581728205842.post-690710046521690232012-01-27T11:55:01.756-05:002012-01-27T11:55:01.756-05:00Can't agree more...
