Agreeing with NattyJane, i am so grateful for being included too! You wouldn’t believe how happy it makes me :) I love the shorts patterns provided by Burda Style, so different to each other and fun to alter.

thanks for this shorts lineup! ive been looking for a shorts pattern for a while now, and i never would have seen Tonia if you hadn’t posted it here. Also, i dont know if it is my computer or not, but are there only line drawings for some of the Burdastyle patterns? i might consider one of those shorts if i could see how it looked in the magazine
