The link above isn’t working for me… Is it sending anyone else to fonts.com? I’d love to vote, but I don’t know where to go. Help please!

The link seems to be working now. Try it again, amanda.reass.
Thanks, Burda and Simplicity! I love patterns from both companies. I love the combinations!

Oooh… Excellent! Thanks a bunch!

Such a good idea!! Do you know how much Simplicity will charge to ship the pattern to Europe? It might come to the same price in the end as buying it from the store.

Great campaign, I love the idea of co-operation. Good on you, both companies :-)!

Hi Peaudane,
Where are you in Europe? I will get Laura and Tammy from Simplicity to answer your question! Hold tight for a moment!
Glad you like our idea!

Laura from Simplicity here – I do merchandising and technical design for Simplicity Patterns, I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have about our patterns or web site. We’re excited to work with BurdaStyle, and join in on your forum!
To answer Peaudane’s question, the shipping outside of the US depends on how many patterns you buy – it starts at $8.00 (US) for up to 4 patterns, and moves on from there.
Hope this helps :)

Great idea, can’t wait to try out the winner.

The link isn’t working for me either.

This is a great idea. The pattern combos are so chic. Are any of the patterns plus-size?
Mar 11, 2009, 06.37 AMby zora
This is a great idea, some of the combos look really nice. Too bad Simplicity didn’t come up with some idea on how European Burdastyle members can “win” something too. Add 8 dollar to the 5 the pattern costs and you’ve pretty much got the regular price.

How ironic…
Yesterday I bought the pattern for the top on combo #4. The dress on that pattern (Simplicity 3964) is my favorite, though. :-)

I have enjoyed simplicity patterns for my entire life. Growing up in a family of sewing women,, I look forward to whats comming next! Burda patterns are new to me. But I am excited and ready to give them a try!
