Burda has announced it’s semi-annual catalog collection for Spring/Summer! Burda tends to be my favorite pattern brand, both in terms of style and fit, but because I have an extensive magazine collection, I find I can often limit my envelope purchases. But for some reason my first impression of this collection was that I wanted all the things! My pattern acquisition had slowed somewhat last year, and I was hoping to keep it at a more minimal rate, but Burda is making it tough on me.
Once the initial squee of new Burda excitement died down I was able to be a bit more objective, but, there’s still a lot of good stuff here, so let’s take a look. 9340 – This tunic has lots of cute details, and looks really easy to sew.And that’s it! After sorting through everything, it seems as though this release is rather dress heavy – not many new bottoms, and very few lightweight summer coats and jackets.
It also feels like many of the styles are somewhat repetitive; there are a lot of simple straight dresses and tops with ruffles, though, certainly more toned down than what we’ve been seeing from the Big 4 of late. There will definitely be several of these patterns that make it onto my wishlist (I particularly like the fancier gown patterns), but I definitely think that I will be able to make a smaller, more curated selection from this release. What do you all think?

Has Burda made you want to sew all the things? Or is this new collection somewhat disappointing and narrow in its offerings? Feel free to discuss in the comments! For me, this is a rather lackluster collection. (I’m ignoring everything outside of the standard misses sizes. I don’t bother with kids or crafts or whatever.) I intensely dislike blouson anything and there are too many dresses with that feature.
I’m also not a fan of jumpsuits and ruffles. That said, while I like some of the tops and bottoms (pants and skirts), there is not one single pattern that made me gasp or exclaim (to myself) that I had to have the pattern and the sooner the better.

I’ll probably buy 4 or 5 patterns at some point and that will be it.Liked. I have been lurking on your site for awhile enjoying your reviews and makes. I had to laugh when your Burda review shows up with the harem yoga pants and now the kids version.
My 11 yr old son has been begging for a pair of ‘hammer’ pants ever since he played a rat in last fall’s Nutcracker performance and their costumes had the drop crotch. The rats were dancing hip-hop. He wants to wear them around the house while doing handstands etc. These don’t look baggy enough to do tricks and are too small a size. Who knows maybe they’ll be the hot thing with the Jr high crowd next year! LOLI’m liking 6443, 6429 for blouses and the ruched skirt.
Wore the blousons in the 70s and 80s and they simply made my waist disappear. I still have tons of patterns from the 90s like 6401 when the ‘big dress’ was the hot trend. Everything that goes around comes around.Liked.
