Burda magazine where have you gone in Australia?

How did this happen?

Why can't I get the Burda magazines anymore?  They've been around ever since I can remember.

I fell in love with Patrones as well, now I can't find that either.

Frustrated, we've gone from spoilt for choice to existing in the backwaters!

I found when I travelled to Europe a few years ago, that unlike here, many sewers in Europe relied more on the magazines rather than the individual patterns from the big companies.

Is this just a plot for us to spend more over here and buy individual patterns?

Then, when I rummage online to subscribe, I can't subscribe to the plus size editions, unless I want them in German.

I am not a happy little sewer as a result of this. Burda magazines have always been a part of my sewing repertoire.

Grrr

Monkey madness

 

Recently I made up a set of men's pajama's.  Criteria was that the fabric be cotton and fun. So why not a quilting cotton with monkeys?  Men's pajama's need not be boring.

I'd picked up the pattern top, Simplicity 9125, I say pattern top, because when I went to use the bottom pattern, it was not included! Oh well, I did only pay $1 for it, that's OK I wanted the top pattern anyway.

I used another pattern for the short, Kwik Sew 1432, I've used this before.

Both sewing pattern sew up easily.

I like picking up sewing patterns at second hand stores, particularly the old ones.  I like the graphics on the front of the patterns and the styles.

I back doing patchwork and quilting now, what have you been up to?

Happy sewing everyone.
