If we have bought the patterns online from you, will the new updated pattern instructions be automatically updated in our shopping history? Or do we have to buy them again?

That’s great! I’ve had some trouble with directions and usually just wing it!

Hello carmencitab, The revisions are not being done internationally from our end. As this is quite time consuming, the revised instructions are so far limited to patterns found on www.burdastyle.com, created by BurdaStyle or BurdaStyle Magazine, that are previously reported to have some issues. Our goal is of course to revise all the instructions for the patterns we offer on www.burdastyle.com but we take one pattern at a time! If you have questions about the French instructions, you should contact customer service on http://www.burdafashion.com/fr/index.html.

Cool! Is this being done internationaly? Because some Burda Patterns French instructions could use a good spell check and some clarifying to!

Amazing. After at least 10 solid years of everyone bitching about your instructions online, you have actually nocticed?!? Hurrah for the net. Hopefully you can stop putting facings in knits too, and stop adding zippers where none are needed and…

The Tonia shorts would be good too. I’d love to make them, but the instructions are appalling. I find them completely unintelligible.
