Because I’m still somewhat of a novice, I’d like to see more step-by-step instructions on making clothing. This would also be extremely useful for those of us (and there are many of us here) who don’t speak English as out mother tongue. Patterns and instructions often include such specific language that it can be very difficult to understand and follow them, even if you have very good English skills.

More free patterns! If not, maybe some kind of a purchasing deal? Like a “buy ‘insert number here’ get one free” kind of deal.

I would like to see more corsets and lingerie related sewing tutorials and projects. I think they’re such important garments! Burda pays so much attention to clothing—and dont get me wrong, I LOVE that! However, I would love a little something about undergarments!

I love what you have already, and love seeing what people do with your patterns. If I could add anything, it would also be more menswear. Thanks!

I love Burda patterns…there can never be too many. I love to see new ideas for using quality fabrics such as Pendleton wool….Now that is a quality combination!
Dec 17, 2010, 04.29 AMby brunettetruth
I agree with the comments on book reviews. In general, more content that connected Burdastyle with the rest of the sewing world would be awesome.
Dec 17, 2010, 04.27 AMby laurertheexplorer
i see a lot of craft project creations, even though this site is all about creating wonderful clothing i think it might be neat to have a craft-type section..why not…burdastyle and the sewing community seems to be growing constantly and the members of this site are so talented! who knows what could come of it! haha this site is amazing already though..only reason to turn on the computer sometimes!! thank you very much!

I would like to see more free patterns on BurdaStyle.com.Our Dollar Exchange Rate is so high that we, the people of Burma/Myanmar, cannot afford to buy everything with dollars.A dollar is about 1000 kyats,Burmese money. And I am not rich.
Dec 17, 2010, 04.16 AMby rebeccapeebles
I agree with others that I’d like to see more Menswear patterns and more about styling and creating patterns for men. Also I’d love to learn more about choosing fabrics, understanding their pros and cons when matching a garment type with fabric.

More free patterns, categories broken down a bit more, with the addition of a vintage style section. Many of us love vintage fashion and there are plenty of us who improvise with contemporary patterns to “create” a vintage look. So perhaps also providing a place withing the “new” vintage style section for these pattern modifications to be shared.

More adaptions of patterns would be great! I love to see the many ways one pattern can look; it inspires me.

I would like to see more free or cheaper patterns. Also I would like to see more ideas to make with the wool fabric.
Dec 17, 2010, 03.50 AMby formathilda
more free patterns and tutorials for basics…pleeeeeeeezz.
Dec 17, 2010, 03.37 AMby aureocookie
I’m very interested in making art to wear. I would love to see patterns which offer different options for constructions techniques—for example, jackets where the front closures can be changed for a different look. Also patterns that have options for adding quilted parts, beading, couching and other embellishment techniques.
