Burdastyle Magazine 04/2012

I've been postponing writing this post for two days now because I'm not really sure what to write in it. The preview on the German site is once again fragmented: there's one preview with some photos from the issue, one with all the technical drawings and one with photos of all the garments on the dressform. I really wish they went back to the old way, which was much more user-friendly.
Anyway, there's really nothing too exciting for me this month, but these are my picks.

This jacket has nice style lines. That is all I have to say about it. I like the long sleeved version better, but of course it was made in black fabric and you couldn't tell any detail.

Very very cute sleeves. Again, not much more to say. It's a super basic tunic.

Another basic garment, with an interesting detail at the neckline. I have included it here, but since I don't like to sew with knits, I doubt it will ever end up on my table.

Cute sailor pants! I'm curious to know if the front flap is real or if the buttons are fake.

And finally, a child pattern, because lately I like them more than the ones for adults. How unfortunate. But look how nicely it's finished on the inside, with the striped bias tape!

If you want to see more photos, Juliette posted some on her blog that I somehow didn't manage to find on the German site. The Italian themed photoshoot seems very nice, but the patterns are not really my cup of tea.

As usual, the technical drawings will be soon available on my Flickr page and stay tuned for the latest La Mia Boutique issue in a few days!

  1. I really like that tunic dress! I think the color is perfect too. Thanks for sharing this preview, I don't get the magazine so I have no idea what I'm missing :-P

    1. You're welcome! if there's a pattern you really love they're available on Burdastyle.com, although they much more expensive than the magazine.

  2. I also loved the mini jacket.; and also one or two blouses you haven't listed. But you're right, Burda has been a frustration for many months!

  3. Il ne sort en France que vendredi, mais, pour le moment, les images que j'ai vues ne me donnent pas envie de l'acheter...
    (ps : je n'oublie pas ma réponse à ton courrier, ça vient, ça vient! :-) )

  4. I love the detail on the neck on the basic shirt, and I really like the coat. I can imagine it with a beautiful dress showing up for the spring. Sometimes the clothes style for the kids works also for adults.

  5. Hello, I like your blog, I just found it through the Burdastyle site. :)

    I'm with you on the children's patterns - there was a jacket in the February issue of Burdastyle that I am wondering if I would be able to make work by resizing the pattern...;)

    1. Thanks, Marie! It wasn't up a few days ago, I guess they became slower with their online previews!

  8. Hi Paunnet,
    Love the sleeves on the tunic dress too.
    Just to let you know I've nominated you for a (another) Liebster award over at http://rocketsews.otheredge.com.au/?p=137. I really enjoy your photos of your creations and also the inspiration posts.

  10. Hi, I bought this issue mostly for the sailor pants. And yes, the button opening is fake, there is a side zipper. Luckily, they come in the small sizes, so I might not have to cut half-leg so they fit me.
    I am a bit disappointed as well, but it seems that if I pass one issue, I discover later that's the one with great patterns.
