BurdaStyle Magazine

A while back I ended my subscription to the German edition of BurdaStyle magazine in English.  I was at B&N this past Monday and saw this in the magazine section:


It's a completely different magazine in English for the US.  I picked it up because it's kind of interesting and I wanted to give it a really good perusal.  I'm not a huge fan of burdastyle.com though I did buy their book and read it fairly thoroughly before passing it on since I deemed it a decent skill building sewing book.

As you can read from the cover, there are 20 patterns in the magazine and another 20 available for download (something I'm not likely to do).  I did like the 20 that they put in the inserts more than the 20 available for download.  I don't know the decision making process that went into the choices, but if it's consistent I can see myself subscribing.  It's four times a year instead of once a month and a subscription is not unreasonable (though I lost the card so I don't have the exact amount).  This was the winter edition and if I like the spring, I'll probably sign up for the next year.

  1. I absolutely love Burdastyle magazine, but I tend to just buy a single issue if I see it in the newsagent. I hope you enjoy it!

    1. I would likely have continued to by the English version of the Burdastyle magazine if I could have bought them by the single issue if there was a local source. I'm loving that we'll have the opportunity now even if it is a condensed version.

    1. I'm not sure if it is going to be available outside of the US, but I'm glad we finally have a version that we can pick up by the single issue.
