I started buying Burda since I was 18 years old. I am 49 now and I still use its patterns. It is so important that I can create whatever I like. Τhank you Burda!

I’ve been nabbing my father’s National Geographic for so many years he finally gave me my own subscription. The stories and all the naturally vibrant colours are massively inspirational!

Congrats to missknitta!!
I love to read W and Nylon both are trend savvy and have gorgeous layouts and fashion spreads. Oh and I also dig on FADER a lot, they keep it real with all the music underground and mainstream.

Real Simple and Vogue. I’ve never bought an actual Burda magazine before, but I just found a place that carries it so I’m dead-set on getting the January one coming out.

Home and Garden — I usually look past their cover stories and look at the little details in the pictures and see what kind of things I can sew to make my apartment more home-like.
Also, I rarely make anything out of Crochet! but I use their garments as inspiration to try different stitch patterns.

I don’t have any current subscriptions to fashion mags, as it’s not really in the budget. But I do like to pick up old copies of Charm and Vogue that make their way into the second-hand shops. The older issues are best — I can see current fashion by walking down the street. My style is a bit more vintage than that.

I like to read Threads magazine, Southern Living magazine and Taste of Home – all for various different reasons, of course – however they ALL inspire me in my day-to-day life.
Dec 6, 2010, 03.12 PMby bitterbunny
my FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE is threads. I just love all their tips and techniques. I look forward to it every other month!

Burdastyle magazine :)

Vogue magazine if I had to name one. I generally survey lots of different sources for inspiration ranging from fashion magazines and blogs to tech trend magazines like Wired. I try to look at all sides of our culture for design inspiration.

I tend to go for Vogue when looking for inspiration – the photo shoots they put together are always great and I find the settings just as inspiring as the clothes.

Lately I have been absorbed in the pages of Bazaar. Anything with inspiring fashion and good photography. But of course I always look at how much the subscription costs to avoid braking the bank.

I like the old Burda International magazines- filled with tendecies and great models to sew. Nowdays I find most inspiring the italian Glamour and Italian Marie Clair. Burda of course- for the patterns one can alter….

Frankie is the most inspiring magazine title i’ve read recently :)
Dec 6, 2010, 10.30 AMby mikimac
I love a great variety of magazines, but really enjoy Vogue, Petra, Burda, all magazines revolving around architecture, house decorating etc. . I also love blogs, you get an insight in so many different creative processes that way :-)

sewing zines which are floating around australia are always fun and are cheap enough for a full time student like i! international vogues have the most amazing and beautiful photography, even if its just the adds! also just simple mags like frankie and yen are always fun. But honestly anything japanese would make me pretty darn happy!!!

Vogue sometimes, but i read fashion blogs on the web more often
Dec 6, 2010, 09.25 AMby birdgehrl28
I love BUST magazine – the styles are chic and fit my more laid back lifestyle. Also, how can you go wrong with style inspiration, recipes, and tons of DIY articles? It’s also how I discovered Burdastyle :)
Dec 6, 2010, 09.18 AMby lolalu

International Vogues and The National Geographic have been the most inspiring magazines to read.

I read Threads and Sew News to stay current on sewing trends and techniques; and I read Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Marie Clare and InStyle to stay current on fashion trends and embellishment/accessory techniques.

I don’t subscribe to magazines, but enjoy whatever I come across. I follow several sewing blogs and find most of my inspiration online. I buy the occasional Burda and Threads – usually for some specific piece I want to use, or just for fun and teaching myself new stuff
