The magazine is a fun read, giving background on the designers and fashion icons who inspired the collection: So much so, that I ended up ordering the English-language version of the Euro mag from GLP News. Some great designs, n’est pas? I decided to go for it, because when this collection was released in magazine form in Europe last fall, there was a great deal of on-line hubbub about it among my European sewing peeps.

I’d been contacted by BurdaStyle about reviewing their new (to the U.S.) Vintage Burda Patterns Kit, with 11 downloadable patterns for vintage styles from their archives. While I was away from home and my dear Karl (once again he was really ticked not to come along), I did some quality beach reading, as you can see. (By making it run from multi-lingual puns, apparently.)


I’ll admit I’ve been cheating on winter by visiting warmer climes, and now that I’m back, I’m hoping a quick wrap-up post will get l’hiver to leave here.
