These two characteristics of the magazine are flaws, at least for me. The tear line is scored, but unless you use scissors, I can imagine many scenarios in which I end up with a ripped and useless pattern sheet. Unlike the European version, the US very is not center bound with staples, it is bound like a regular magazine, and the pattern sheets must be torn off the magazine. The only way for you to know what styles are in the magazine is to actually look through it. Even the English edition of the German BurdaStyle, which is $90 for a 1 year (12 issues) subscription, is cheaper as it comes in only at $7.50 per issue.įirst and foremost, the US Burda Style lacks a very important feature of the European version, the photograph “all styles at a glance” index and the “all styles at a glance” line drawing index. I quickly looked through it and decided to buy it, even though it’s $14.99, which is a heck of a lot for a magazine. Well, the magazine is finally out, I picked up a copy today at Jo-Anns’s when I went to get some elastic for a project. The sewing forums have been buzzing with questions regarding the publication and the beginning of October came and went without so much as a peep from the publisher. There had been talk about a US version, not just a translation, of the German magazine BurdaStyle (formerly Burda World of Fashion, formerly Burda Moden), and it was supposed to hit the shelves this month.
