One of my favorite sewing patterns is Burda Patterns because their designs are new and unique. After visiting their web site, I know why Burda is unique! Not only do they have patterns for garments, they have accessory patterns for many items, hats, totes, aprons, as well as men’s patterns, women’s patterns and kid’s patterns. But wait, there’s more!

The picture tutorials with videos for you to learn how to sew or just improve your sewing skills. The tutorials are from BurdaStyle as well as web site members. Included are topics like “Cutting Tips” “Hand Stitching Tips” and many more topics.
