I'm so excited. It's produced monthly from Germany, and I am getting the English translated version. If you're in Australia wondering how to get this, you can subscribe via iSubscribe. I once tried to subscribe via the Burda website but just received a couple of letters from them in German, presumably asking me to send money but who knows! I couldn't understand it!
It's not cheap ($190 for 12 months), and no doubt the current exchange rate doesn't help. However, each magazine includes several patterns (am I correct in saying at least 10 per issue?) that you trace and use. And considering that commercial patterns can be anywhere between $8-$16 each, it's good value. PLUS it's up to the minute fashion and I heard that though some of the magazine patterns are made commercially available later, they don't come out til about 2 years after they were featured in the magazine.
I'm trying not to look at back issues online because I know I will want them. I'm just going to sit tight and patiently wait for my first issue to arrive.
And can I also send a shout out to my blogging friend Emily Kate who incredibly is setting herself the task of MAKING ALL OF HER CLOTHES in 2009! Amazing. I can't wait to see what she comes up with, coz lady's got some SKILLS - look at these hot trousers she made.

You will NOT regret subscribing to BWOF, you can't get better value even with our poxed exchange rate!
Oh god! I want! My birthday is next month I think I'm going to ask for a subscription. It is my dream to make as many clothes as I can. Never going to happen, but I can dream...
Sounds good, but with 2 mortgages I can only live through the internet! Post what you make though!
I've been making all my own clothes for 18 months since doing Wardrobe Refashion, I haven't bought anything new in that time apart from a pair of yoga trakkies from Target! You should do it! You're making great clothes!
