The BurdaStyle Resource Map is officially launched!
We love the great business resources now listed, and are excited to present more in the future. Whether you are looking for places in your neighborhood to find great fabrics, notions or sewing classes, traveling and in search of a great local sewing lounge while away, or have a favorite local sewing spot you think others should know about, our Resource Map is created just for you.
Our Map includes a fine selection of Fabric Stores, Sewing Lounges, Sewing Notions/Supplies Shops and Sewing Machine Dealerships, and will soon list great Cleaning and Tailoring shops too!
Integration into the Resource Map is only $40 dollars for a one-year listing, until otherwise noted.
If you are a business owner, this is an unbeatable and effective way to connect with our members, which include fashion designers, sewing hobbyists and crafters. Our member-base has grown to over 270,000+ engaged individuals, and our site garners 350,000 unique visitors and 4.7 million page views per month. Needless to say, we have a community that is passionate about their skills and are always looking for great resources like yours.
Your integration in the Resource Map can increase foot traffic and mail orders, encourage brand loyalty through a consistent presence on BurdaStyle and is an affordable way to reach a vibrant and growing community!
This is an opportunity your favorite sewing store, or your own business, should not pass up! To sign up, visit http://bit.ly/ResourceMap.
If you have further questions, or would like to request a downloadable .pdf advertisement to hand to your favorite stores, please e-mail me at david[at]burdastyle[dot]com.
Best,
David and The BurdaStyle Team

I wish Burdastyle users could submit recommendations for businesses we love to support. I’m sure we’d all love to be able to spread the word about where is the best place to buy certain supplies, or has super helpful staff, etc.
When did Burdastyle become CLOSED source sewing?
If this map was more integrated with Burdastyle’s platform and site and users could submit reviews of the businesses listed, I’d actually use it. Otherwise, going through Google to submit a review separates Burdastyle users from the amazing network of collaborators and inspirational creators we’ve formed on Burdastyle.com.
Great idea and I hope it can be more interactive for Burdastyle users in the future.

Hi Shamdoogle,
You can ABSOLUTELY submit businesses! We are looking to our members for great stores, submit them here or to team [at] Burdastyle.com.
Our hope is to eventually have it all on the site, but our cost for development would be was too high and google has such a good platform for something like this that for now we are just using the google platform.
Plus, did you realize that the map is embedded? try it above, you can move it around and check it out!

Hey Alden, I just checked the website out, and while I love the google map style navigation, I find the little white patches to be a bit hard to see. Is there any hope that they will improve? I’d love to see stickies or thumb tacks or something that stands out agains the map a bit more.
I hope you are able to get businesses on board with this soon as it seams like a great resource that I would use if it was comprehensive.

Is there no way we can suggest businesses and companies that fit with the Burda profile!? I know of some great places in the UK that definately should be posted on here but I don’t see a way of recommending them!

Dear BurdaStyle, I am a business who has paid to be on this resource map – I’m in Australia – the icons on the map overlap – I cannot click to see my business advertised….?

I just clicked on the bolt of fabric in the middle of the USA, just to see what happened [and because I live in the middle]. It showed a listing for Elfriede’s Fine Fabric, but it didn’t list an address…NOT EVEN the state it’s in!!! The map is so small you can’t tell just by looking. If I was the owner of that shop, and had PAID to be listed, I’d be very upset. As a person who is trying to use your resource, it didn’t help me one tiny bit. Whoever set this up doesn’t have a clue.
