You make me laugh, I always love hearing your views. I hope your feeling well, I’ve really missed your videos, I suffer from chronic pain, which can make me very depressed at times, but you have been such an inspiration to me. I love to sew and it is one thing that keeps me sane. Just wanted to let you know that your well loved and very missed.
Hi Jay, I hope you are alright. I just wanted to say that I miss seeing you on RUclips, you were always my favourite, especially when you did Vlogmas because you just sew all the time and that's what we want. Anyway, you are in my thoughts. Get back to us soon.xxxx
I am totally fashion challenged so it's very interesting to see you talk about the patterns and give commentary on the fabric choices. I can see me learning quite a bit. Helen
i don't know why but i loved that weird hoody! id have no use for it but oooh fancy lounge wear might not make me look like a troll who's escaped when i'm putting the bin out or answering the door to the milkman! ha ha x
I won’t be in any hurry to go and buy the magazine but I absolutely loved ❤️❤️❤️ your commentary on the patterns you had me in stitches. Can’t wait for next months 😊😊😊
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! As a result I shall save my money this month - I am determined to buy ONLY the magazines that really grab my attention. Your snuggly dress is gorgeous!
Hi Jay, fun to go through Burda with you. I just picked it up yesterday and thought I might try one of the easier things. I recently did a Burda wrap type T shirt and I struggled with the instructions, so I am hoping this won’t be too challenging!
Definitely underwhelmed and nothing really stood out as different enough to buy the mag this month. Thanks for the run through - will save my pennies for some fabric instead. Love your vlogs and good luck with the subscribers - getting a desk in Google would be awesome x
I basically agreed with your impeccable taste! Being the designer you are - you catch things the average does not. It was a definite orange issue. I've never had a Burda magazine but did purchase a Le Maison Victor thru E-Bay - out of date of course.
Hi Jay, how are you? I so miss you and you're sewing videos and the Burda reviews. Wishing for you're return to all of you're fan's. Take care and pray to see you soon! Brenda
Hello Jay, Haven't heard from you for a while. Just letting you know you are missed. In the meantime be kind to yourself and looking forward to having you back.
I thought you were more than fair. I was thinking such crap glad i didn't buy it. I did like the jacket though. Not much else. Thank you for an honest review. Hope you get the subscribers you need. Meg
I finally found a site to order Burda. They say they have sent it , but I haven’t received so glad to get a view! I agree with all the orange and odd athleisure additions. More of fall coloring than winter or spring. I think your assessments are spot on. 🙏🤗
Your comments about "potato sacky" are spot on. A woman of average proportions would look dumpy in a lot of those clothes. Anything loose and tied in the middle or overly boxy just add width.
Personally, I love the hooded blouse but I have a more casual job. I take a lot of meetings in coffee shops and with creative sorts so I think it would look awesome with jeans or to make a men’s blazer look less formal. Love your Burma walk throughs!
Great review, thanks Jay Jay. There’s a couple of pieces I did quite like (majority aren’t for me). I love the cargo style trousers, the denim style jacket (without the toggles) and the blouse with the funny sleeves 🙈. I think I’m going to buy it again this month. Xxx
Hey Lainey, hope you and Karen are well? Yeah I definitely think it's worth the six quid, even if I don't like any patterns now, I know for a fact in a year's time I'll be reaching for one of them! xx
The Camden Stitch we are good thanks! Hope you are too? I got it yesterday and will be marking the patterns I want to use 🙌🏼always worth getting...just in case 😉xxx
minette grocott I totally agree, it's really helpful how honest Jay is. It really helps us when we are looking to buy new patterns. I really appreciate it! ❤️
HI Jay! I am in complete agreement with you on the cape and sleeves business!! I love the way they look, but they are so impractical!! All that fabric hanging about one's arms,-but in the way...not a lot of movement possible while wearing one!! UGH!! LOL!! The culotte's-I really like, but I think a maxi or midi dress is warmer in cold weather-when you have the wide legs like that--BRRRR...I'm with you on that one, also!! The wrap jacket, I do like-and even better if it sews up quickly!! The suede or faux suede looks nice. OOOHH...I love that dress with the pleated neckline-I think it really is quite lovely! Would love to see you make that one!! I'm with you on the simple blouse with the two part sleeves-strange...I'd change that-lengthen the sleeve-making it full all the way down, then pleat it...so one may as well just use a different pattern altogether-or-draft one!! :+) The paper bag skirt, I do love those, and wore a few of those --and paper bag trouser's in the late 70's and early 80's, but I also seldom wear skirts any more-I'm more of a dress or trouser/jeans kind of girl. The dress with the tie-I love that, also. However, I concur-make it two ties, Or make a nice bow!! Make it a statement piece!! I'm not sure about the hoodie in viscose, I like the way it looks-but not sure to what occasion I'd wear it. Maybe when out shopping?? I don't know....strange. Yes, maybe brunch!! I do like the long jacket. Cute! Coat 104-that is very pretty!! I do like that a lot. I do like the poncho/beach cover up. I think it would be beautiful in a print or like you said- a beautiful emerald green chiffon!! I love the "boxy" top. I do not wear them often, but do like one in my closet for some things. I do like mine worn with jeans, pencil skirt or leggings-something tighter on the bottom, they look great together! Not sure about the color blocking blouse, I don't think I would make that-or buy one. I am not into tuxedo stripes, either-but I did have a pair of velvet leggings that had a rhinestone stripe down the legs like that, those were really pretty. But I do not care for that stripe on that style pant at all!! I do like the parka-that would actually make a good trench coat. The jumpsuit-I do like, but I love a nice jumpsuit. Depending on style and fabrication. The cape coat u showed with the funnel neck is to die for!! Gorgeous!! The wrap coat longer--that is not flattering at all!! I prefer bell bottoms to boot cut-but will wear a larger boot cut, if that's all I can find. Bell's and cigarette style pants are my favorite to wear. WOW!! I am so jealous!! If my hair was that curly, I would just love it!! I have pin straight hair-ugh!! You are blessed!! I prefer your draft of the pinafore style dress to the Burda pattern-to me, that fabric choice they made it with was too heavy-and did nothing for the model, at all!! Make your version!! :+) Not impressed with the jacket with the hidden placket, or the tunic top. The pants with the ties at the ankle are sweet!! Make those!! :+) I do like the grommets on the yoke top. The rest I don't care for... I adore Betsey in the box!! So cute!! Is she ok?? Have a great weekend!! :+) Take care.
I have the January Burda and do like the coatigan . I live in a village outside of Woking and near Guildford in Surrey. My local tiny newsagent/post office (about 200 metres from my house) stocks Burda.......result. Love to Betsey. Oh and I saw an Instagram post by Buried diamond (I think? ) where she had made one of the really nice jackets from November Burda.
Yes! I saw that purple jacket, love it love it love it! You're so lucky to get your Burda nearby, I think rural areas have more sewists, there's hardly any in Camden 😢
Nevermind, I still reckon even the dull ones will pay for themselves eventually (coz you never know when you’ll need a pattern for a viscose hoodie) :-D
I have the same thoughts on this months mag. I do brunch my daughter Sam is a late riser on the weekend so we meet for brunch in our local town of Shrewsbury. Lol xx Thank you for the review xx
A great review, as usual! I’m giving Burda a miss this month. I only really like a couple of things but they aren’t new enough to warrant buying it. I feel like I’ve already seen most of those styles in other issues. I’m looking forward to February though! Hugs from Spain!
Thanks for the look through not impressed with much in this edition. How do you find Threads magazines are they worth getting? Love your makeup and hair.
Thanks Tracey! Threads is a bit of a different beast, I do find they cover slightly more advanced techniques which I like. But I have to say, normally I don’t bother.
I love your reviews of the Burda magazine each month! I was not impressed with many of the items promoted this month. I did like the culottes though. In Winter, we wear them in suede with knee high boots or a heavy weight wool twill with boots. (I'm in the Northern part of the U.S.A.) They really do keep our legs warm. In the summer, we wear them out of rayon or a light weight cotton or maybe linen and they are very cool feeling. Thanks for the review!!
I hope you check your old messages. I miss you! I have been hoping you are okay and found out you are more on Instagram which I don't like as well as facebook. I think I don't understand Insta. and how it works. Is it a learning tool or more show and tell? Anyway I wanted to let you know I've been thinking of you. Keep well !
Hi Jay, I contacted you about a week ago about peppermint oil and I was going to let you know how I got on with the sleep deprivation......, Since putting a dab on the back of my neck I can say that I have had a significant improvement. I have been also diffusing lavender and chamomile oil whilst I sleep. I hardly wake now maybe twice rather than every hour on the hour. Hope this helps and hope your well at the moment. Do some research into aromatherapy oils you’ll be surprised. Take care 🧵✂️😜
Very glad for the review as I'm out of the UK right now so can't buy it anyway 😁. Loved the brunch comment you put on screen made me laugh out loud - the only place I've come across brunches is the middle East at nice hotels where they are very popular, very expensive and last all afternoon - you generally need a whole day to recover 🤣🤣. 😘😘
Jay, I don't think you were unnecessarily harsh. This issue definitely didn't spark my imagination. Strangely my fav was your least fav, the hoodie with the blouse sleeves. I quite liked that but I do agree with you that the places to wear that would be pretty limited.
Hi there, I’ve just found your channel and enjoyed the vlog. I had recently purchased the Burda magazine and was very disappointed. The nesting of the pattern pieces just did my head in. I liked the “origami” top, but there’s no way I can sort out the pattern. Is there a knack I’m missing or is it just me ? In Burda Easy magazine the patterns are individual, but I can’t seem to get it over here. I’m looking forward to your next vlog and I’ve subscribed 👍😃
Yay burda review!! Firstly love your outfit looks very chic and warm! I agree not the best issue but I did trace off the dress with the neck tie and the dress with the flap at the neck as these are office wear for me of course made in dull navy or black fabric 😒 hoodie for the office burda u crazy. Yeah not sure what this activewear theme is all about. Look forward to the next issue review much love xxx
The Camden Stitch agree and the instructions for sewing the flap are the typical vague burda so think it will be a wee bit of a head scratcher. May call for two cups of strong tea before I attempt it. The previews of next months burda look rather dull but there are one or two things which maybe of interest
Aw beautiful Betsy ❤️ Have you ever seen Maru on RUclips, worth a look if you’re a cat person. I bought this months Burda but the jury is still out on most of it x
Hard to say Jacqueline, because I’ve only seriously been buying Burda in the last year or so. I have some back issues that I love and some which are pretty underwhelming.
HI! thanks for the video! You almost perfectly voiced my opinions of this Burda issue. I bought (forgot why, i think because of those cardigans? jackets... lol) that viscose hoodie? whyyyy? serves no purpose, just protect from the sun, in summer, i guess. Not anything to do with winter :( and the other blouse with a wavy stripe on the sleeve? looks cheap and poorly made at home. :( the top/blouse with that seam/pleat on the sleeve, at around the elbow, i thought it's supposed to be a peep-hole to expose the arms a bit o.o Kind of weird, but they chose a really nice fabric for it. For some they chose really nice fabrics, and for others they really messed things up. Luckily, we can choose whatever fabric we want to create our clothing. That low/high top, i see it nicely done from fabrics of different colors -just the same type of fabric. it would not be for every-day wear, though, but more for some more special occasions? ;p
Not many risks taken with fashion there. I read it a few times. I think february looks better. I liked the jewelled bugs and that as about it. total soccer mom fashions. maybe modifiable but not that keen.
I thought your review was very kind. I mean .. it was bad enough living through the worst of the 80's/90's styles the first time. Those (mostly) boxy boxy shapes, the big messy hair, the uninspiring prints, the depressing colors. Blech. I think they took the big shoulder pads out of the way back makes and called it done. TFS 😻
Per your request, I subscribed. I like your saucy attitude. Burda is my least favorite of the "big" companies. I like fabrication/presentation of the sample that can be compared to the line art/pattern diagram so we can tell what the damn thing is supposed to look like.
I agree, the model does look like Gabby. The tuxedo stripe in trousers always takes them down a notch. I'm not a fan of this kind of stripe in pants or sleeves, not even in tuxedos. No hoody for the office; fabric can do a lot but not in a hoody. I don't think having opinion is being mean, it's being real.
Many of the garments had no color at all and they were really style-less, rather than stylish. Thanks for sharing though. Your videos make up for the lack luster magazine!!💖
Hope you are well Jay, we love your vlogs 💜 thinking of you x
You make me laugh, I always love hearing your views.
I hope your feeling well, I’ve really missed your videos, I suffer from chronic pain, which can make me very depressed at times, but you have been such an inspiration to me. I love to sew and it is one thing that keeps me sane. Just wanted to let you know that your well loved and very missed.
Thinking of you, Jay! Missing your style! Take care.
Jay I LOVE your burda walk throughs. Your critique is spot-on for me, and I love your sense of humour. Good spot on the Gabby lookalike! X
Hope you are well. Missing your vlogs🤗
Hope your well and busy with your course x
Hope you’re ok Jay...miss seeing you on RUclips
Hi Jay, I hope you are alright. I just wanted to say that I miss seeing you on RUclips, you were always my favourite, especially when you did Vlogmas because you just sew all the time and that's what we want. Anyway, you are in my thoughts. Get back to us soon.xxxx
Miss you fabulous! Hope you are ok!
Jay, I know you made this video a while ago. Miss you and hope you are well!!
I am totally fashion challenged so it's very interesting to see you talk about the patterns and give commentary on the fabric choices. I can see me learning quite a bit.
Helen
That's so nice for you to say Helen! Hope you're well xx
Hi Jay!! Love your walk-thru of Burda every time....
💜💜🧵🧵
i don't know why but i loved that weird hoody! id have no use for it but oooh fancy lounge wear might not make me look like a troll who's escaped when i'm putting the bin out or answering the door to the milkman! ha ha x
I won’t be in any hurry to go and buy the magazine but I absolutely loved ❤️❤️❤️ your commentary on the patterns you had me in stitches. Can’t wait for next months 😊😊😊
I am missing your you tube videos so much. Any chance you can resume them?
Hi Jay....Hope this finds you and your world at peace and that you see positive opportunities every day. Miss your vlogs too..😊
Hope all ok with you 💕🤗💕
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! As a result I shall save my money this month - I am determined to buy ONLY the magazines that really grab my attention. Your snuggly dress is gorgeous!
Hi Jay, fun to go through Burda with you. I just picked it up yesterday and thought I might try one of the easier things. I recently did a Burda wrap type T shirt and I struggled with the instructions, so I am hoping this won’t be too challenging!
DEFINITELY start with a nice easy one in Burda. I'm not the sort of sewist who relies on instructions much but they can still be tricksy.
Definitely underwhelmed and nothing really stood out as different enough to buy the mag this month. Thanks for the run through - will save my pennies for some fabric instead. Love your vlogs and good luck with the subscribers - getting a desk in Google would be awesome x
Yeah I would feel so fancy! Thanks Margaret! xx
Hi Jay, just wondering if you are O.K. Stay well sending love xxx❤️
I basically agreed with your impeccable taste! Being the designer you are - you catch things the average does not. It was a definite orange issue. I've never had a Burda magazine but did purchase a Le Maison Victor thru E-Bay - out of date of course.
Awww thanks lovely! I hope you enjoy LMV xx
Hi Jay, how are you? I so miss you and you're sewing videos and the Burda reviews. Wishing for you're return to all of you're fan's. Take care and pray to see you soon! Brenda
Hello Jay, Haven't heard from you for a while. Just letting you know you are missed. In the meantime be kind to yourself and looking forward to having you back.
I ❤️ your honesty! It is much appreciated. 😊
I thought you were more than fair. I was thinking such crap glad i didn't buy it. I did like the jacket though. Not much else. Thank you for an honest review. Hope you get the subscribers you need. Meg
I had a look in the shop and put it back. I think your video sums this month's Burda up perfectly for me! Dx
Hmmm, bit of a shame isn't it, hope you're well Dani (and Gruff 😍) xxx
Very interesting, Jay. I love your assessment of the patterns. Hope you are okay. ❤️
I finally found a site to order Burda. They say they have sent it , but I haven’t received so glad to get a view! I agree with all the orange and odd athleisure additions. More of fall coloring than winter or spring. I think your assessments are spot on. 🙏🤗
Thanks Robin! Hope your edition comes soon xx
Your comments about "potato sacky" are spot on. A woman of average proportions would look dumpy in a lot of those clothes. Anything loose and tied in the middle or overly boxy just add width.
I thought you were spot on with this Jan 2020 issue. It's going to take me some out-of-the-box creativity to make two gorgeous items from it.
I definitely think it’s still do-able though! Even if you only like a couple of items it’s still a steal at £5!
Personally, I love the hooded blouse but I have a more casual job. I take a lot of meetings in coffee shops and with creative sorts so I think it would look awesome with jeans or to make a men’s blazer look less formal. Love your Burma walk throughs!
Hey! It would look perfect styled like that, love it! You've made me rethink this pattern, thanks! 👍👍
Great review, and so lovely to see you!
Thank Meghann xx
Great review, thanks Jay Jay. There’s a couple of pieces I did quite like (majority aren’t for me). I love the cargo style trousers, the denim style jacket (without the toggles) and the blouse with the funny sleeves 🙈. I think I’m going to buy it again this month. Xxx

I was in Exeter today as this is my nearest City, they had the Burda magazine, like you, did not think much of it so - no buy. xxx
I reckon I’ll still get a couple of good patterns from it...eventually!
Love how honest you Jay, love some of the patterns but do have to agree that athleisure rules this month's magazine.
Thanks Minette, I do really like some of the patterns too, and could definitely see myself making some...but a few duds in there for sure!
minette grocott I totally agree, it's really helpful how honest Jay is. It really helps us when we are looking to buy new patterns. I really appreciate it! ❤️
@@createparadise she certainly does.

I do like the long jacket. Cute!
Coat 104-that is very pretty!! I do like that a lot.

I love the "boxy" top. I do not wear them often, but do like one in my closet for some things. I do like mine worn with jeans, pencil skirt or leggings-something tighter on the bottom, they look great together!

The cape coat u showed with the funnel neck is to die for!!
Gorgeous!!
The wrap coat longer--that is not flattering at all!!
I prefer bell bottoms to boot cut-but will wear a larger boot cut, if that's all I can find. Bell's and cigarette style pants are my favorite to wear.
WOW!! I am so jealous!! If my hair was that curly, I would just love it!! I have pin straight hair-ugh!! You are blessed!!
I prefer your draft of the pinafore style dress to the Burda pattern-to me, that fabric choice they made it with was too heavy-and did nothing for the model, at all!! Make your version!! :+)
Not impressed with the jacket with the hidden placket, or the tunic top.
The pants with the ties at the ankle are sweet!! Make those!! :+)
I do like the grommets on the yoke top.
The rest I don't care for...
I adore Betsey in the box!! So cute!! Is she ok??
Have a great weekend!! :+)
Take care.
Your review is spot on and Betsy is gorgeous.💖
Awww, thanks...I always know who the cat fans are!
I enjoyed your comments on the current Burda.
Thanks Heather xx
I have the January Burda and do like the coatigan . I live in a village outside of Woking and near Guildford in Surrey. My local tiny newsagent/post office (about 200 metres from my house) stocks Burda.......result. Love to Betsey. Oh and I saw an Instagram post by Buried diamond (I think? ) where she had made one of the really nice jackets from November Burda.
Yes! I saw that purple jacket, love it love it love it! You're so lucky to get your Burda nearby, I think rural areas have more sewists, there's hardly any in Camden 😢
I’ve got this months and like you feel underwhelmed! ❤️
Nevermind, I still reckon even the dull ones will pay for themselves eventually (coz you never know when you’ll need a pattern for a viscose hoodie) :-D
The Camden Stitch 😂😂😂❤️
I have the same thoughts on this months mag. I do brunch my daughter Sam is a late riser on the weekend so we meet for brunch in our local town of Shrewsbury. Lol xx Thank you for the review xx
Haha! Fab, I love Shrewsbury! xx
A great review, as usual! I’m giving Burda a miss this month. I only really like a couple of things but they aren’t new enough to warrant buying it. I feel like I’ve already seen most of those styles in other issues. I’m looking forward to February though! Hugs from Spain!
Me too, hopefully it will be a return to form! Thanks for the hugs, backatcha! xxx
I'm with you Jay. I liked the same designs you pointed out.
👍🏼👍🏼 We’re in sync! xx
Thanks for the look through not impressed with much in this edition. How do you find Threads magazines are they worth getting? Love your makeup and hair.
Thanks Tracey! Threads is a bit of a different beast, I do find they cover slightly more advanced techniques which I like. But I have to say, normally I don’t bother.
I love your reviews of the Burda magazine each month! I was not impressed with many of the items promoted this month. I did like the culottes though.

Ooooh suede culottes sound really cool! Thanks for the comment Peggy xxx

Underwhelming. Won't bother buying this one. Thanks for the review. You save me alot of money😊
Ah, glad I saved you the pennies! xx
Hi Jay, I contacted you about a week ago about peppermint oil and I was going to let you know how I got on with the sleep deprivation......, Since putting a dab on the back of my neck I can say that I have had a significant improvement. I have been also diffusing lavender and chamomile oil whilst I sleep. I hardly wake now maybe twice rather than every hour on the hour. Hope this helps and hope your well at the moment. Do some research into aromatherapy oils you’ll be surprised. Take care 🧵✂️😜
Thank you Kim 😘
Right on with your preview
Thanks Susan xx
I'm making the moths 💚
Hope you're doing alright! Missing you but your health is important. All the best.
Very glad for the review as I'm out of the UK right now so can't buy it anyway 😁. Loved the brunch comment you put on screen made me laugh out loud - the only place I've come across brunches is the middle East at nice hotels where they are very popular, very expensive and last all afternoon - you generally need a whole day to recover 🤣🤣. 😘😘
I think Oop North we used to call that a “day session"! Glad you enjoyed the vlog lovely xx
Jay, I don't think you were unnecessarily harsh. This issue definitely didn't spark my imagination. Strangely my fav was your least fav, the hoodie with the blouse sleeves. I quite liked that but I do agree with you that the places to wear that would be pretty limited.
Well OpiatePix above has made me rethink this baby. so I stand corrected! Now I'm thinking it could be kinda cool and quirky!
Love your review.
Thanks Meletia xx
Loved your BURDA review ... but not as much as I loved you red and black Jumper it looks really lovely and your make up was on point looking hot 🐨
Thanks so much Sue! It’s super snuggly :-D

They’re definitely my two highlights, I thought the pictures didn’t show off the flap neck dress very well. xx
The Camden Stitch agree and the instructions for sewing the flap are the typical vague burda so think it will be a wee bit of a head scratcher. May call for two cups of strong tea before I attempt it. The previews of next months burda look rather dull but there are one or two things which maybe of interest
Aw beautiful Betsy ❤️ Have you ever seen Maru on RUclips, worth a look if you’re a cat person. I bought this months Burda but the jury is still out on most of it x
I will check out Maru, even tough I suspect it will lead me down a cute cat rabbit hole!
Here I am, calling everywhere in So Cal, looking for Feb issue.
Can you get your local Jo Ann to order it in?
The Camden Stitch good question. I’ll ask them.
Thanks for your honest reviews Jay - I won’t be buying Burda this month - athleisure is not my thing either 😂.
Feel a bit bad I've lost Burrrrda a few sales this month, still, I've gained them plenty on other months! Hope all is good with you Hagar. xx
The Camden Stitch I probably only buy 3 copies a year so as I bought last months I doubt I would this month anyway so don’t feel bad. 😂
🐯
😃 burda doesn't look great this month... i love the coatigan though and the pants you liked are pretty cool... basically I agree with you lol
Haha! Glad you enjoyed Anessa xx
❤
Yes, that model does look like Gabby. I also love those insect brooches - are they meant to be bees?
Your hair is looking fabulous!
Thanks Caroline! Just been through the regular dyeing ritual!!
Hi would you say the Burda magazine has been more hit or miss over the last year I sometimes think sewing magazine's are very badly presented and lazy
Hard to say Jacqueline, because I’ve only seriously been buying Burda in the last year or so. I have some back issues that I love and some which are pretty underwhelming.
Just haVE to say you BEAUTIFUL skin!
Thank you so much Angie! xx
HI! thanks for the video! You almost perfectly voiced my opinions of this Burda issue. I bought (forgot why, i think because of those cardigans? jackets... lol) that viscose hoodie? whyyyy? serves no purpose, just protect from the sun, in summer, i guess. Not anything to do with winter :( and the other blouse with a wavy stripe on the sleeve? looks cheap and poorly made at home. :( the top/blouse with that seam/pleat on the sleeve, at around the elbow, i thought it's supposed to be a peep-hole to expose the arms a bit o.o Kind of weird, but they chose a really nice fabric for it. For some they chose really nice fabrics, and for others they really messed things up. Luckily, we can choose whatever fabric we want to create our clothing. That low/high top, i see it nicely done from fabrics of different colors -just the same type of fabric. it would not be for every-day wear, though, but more for some more special occasions? ;p
Love to hear your thoughts on the issue Sapphire! xx
Not many risks taken with fashion there. I read it a few times. I think february looks better. I liked the jewelled bugs and that as about it. total soccer mom fashions. maybe modifiable but not that keen.
Soccer mom fashions! Love it! xx
You look very pretty tonight. Never buy Burda not enough instructions
Thanks Lorraine. Yes they are very sparse!
Just found you. You’re adorable. I have
Thanks so much Candy! 😘
I thought your review was very kind. I mean .. it was bad enough living through the worst of the 80's/90's styles the first time. Those (mostly) boxy boxy shapes, the big messy hair, the uninspiring prints, the depressing colors. Blech. I think they took the big shoulder pads out of the way back makes and called it done. TFS 😻
Hahaha! Great assessment! xx

Per your request, I subscribed. I like your saucy attitude. Burda is my least favorite of the "big" companies. I like fabrication/presentation of the sample that can be compared to the line art/pattern diagram so we can tell what the damn thing is supposed to look like.
I agree, the model does look like Gabby.
The tuxedo stripe in trousers always takes them down a notch. I'm not a fan of this kind of stripe in pants or sleeves, not even in tuxedos. No hoody for the office; fabric can do a lot but not in a hoody.
I don't think having opinion is being mean, it's being real.
Haha, thanks Sage :-) xxx
Viscose hoodie?! Someone's lost th plot there!
Many of the garments had no color at all and they were really style-less, rather than stylish. Thanks for sharing though. Your videos make up for the lack luster magazine!!💖
Pretty much not inspired, especially with the stripe up the side of the pants. They look like track pants.
Yeah I think so!
I would double subscribe if I could to up your numbers! No seriously, I am sure that your numbers will increase rapidly.
I hate that fawn colour too 🤮
Hope your well❤
