Burda Style For people who sew

What are Partner Brands?

The Partner Brands category is a collection of patterns for sale through BurdaStyle-approved designers. Our goal is to bring the community a curated selection of patterns for purchase. We carefully select brands who create excellent patterns with beautiful designs. The patterns featured are not exclusive to downloadable patterns, unlike the other patterns on the site. We hope to simultaneously provide a wider audience to these talented designers, while treating our community to the best patterns on the marketplace.

How do I become a Partner Brand?

The Partner Brand category is currently in its testing phase, so we are not accepting applicants at this time. We certainly hope to one day open our Partner Brands program on a wider scale, and will notify the community once this is available.

Oliver + S patterns are currently the only patterns featured in the Partner Brand category at this time.
