I have been using Burda since early 90's when I began my sewing experiments only coming into my teens. This is The best available sewing magazine, that provides very accurate patterns and very comprehensive instructions, which are useful for any level of experience. The models are presented in different variations using numerous stylish adjustments to the same basic pattern. Plus they offer step-by-step instructions and HOW_TO sections. The only problem- it is only available in one shop in Ireland, and they don't even bother timely offering new issues. Do subscribe to this wonderful magazine and indulge in the world of fabrics, threads, trimmings to create your unique look. If this is what you are after- do not delay!!!
