New Patterns: McCall's, Simplicity, My Image

Magazine Review: July Burda

The craziness of the competitive skating season is here, which means I've been doing a lot of sewing, but not a lot of posting.  There have been several pattern releases, including the July Burda, which, I have to say, is probably my favorite issue of the year so far.  And that's saying something about the excitement of the recent magazines considering that July is usually one of my least favorite issues of the year.  But, happily, there are a fair number of exciting designs this month!
