I've cut my magazine buying down to Burdastyle, Fashion Style (Knipmode), Meine Nähmode and Ottobre Woman. I'm not affiliated with them and get nothing in return for sending your business to them. The site is in English (or German) and it looks like they ship to the US too. If you are interested in these magazines, you can find them here. I also didn't point out the crafty-type sewing magazines for making decorative items or toys. The rest of the issues on that first shelf are mostly knitting magazines. Nähtrends (Patrones translated into German)Īs for the baby and children issues, I saw Burda Kids and Poppy and something with a name like "Nähen Baby", and they'll have the children's Ottobre issues when they're current.Meine Nähmode (Simplicity/New Look patterns reprinted and translated into German).Fashion Style (Knipmode translated into German).By the way, this is a magazine rack in a department store, not a specialty news stand. I often buy Burda and a few others at the grocery store. I've noted all the pattern magazines that have women's clothing (there are 10!) with yellow arrows. But that's not even all that are available in Germany (sometime La Mia Boutique in the international section for example), and I didn't point out the magazines exclusively for children's or baby clothes. Still, I was amazed at the number of sewing, knitting, crochet, patchwork, and other craft magazines that are available - they take up the two top rows of the shelf in the picture below. Actually there are a lot of magazines period in Germany - they really do like their magazines. I'm not kidding that there are a lot of sewing magazines. At first I bought just about everything I found, but it turns out there are a lot of sewing magazines available in Germany, and now my shelves are stuffed. Although I have sewn a few more things from non-Burda magazines, I still have acquired far more than I would ever use. Although I could get a subscription in Germany, buying them gives me a "mission" every month to visit the news stand. Plus I get to discover - and buy - other sewing magazines I see on the shelves. With unreliable and slow mail service to my APO mailbox, I dropped my Burda subscription and started buying the German issues from the news stand. When I first moved to Europe I still scoured the news stands for pattern magazines.

Truth be told, I mostly browsed the magazines like I would a fashion mag and sewed up a few things from a French issue called "Diana Couture." The clothes in those magazines seemed more interesting and it was fun to see all the different languages and even more fun to find them during our travels. I wanted Patrones, La Mia Boutique, Knipmode, Ottobre, etc., etc. I had a subscription to the English version of Burda through GLP News but that was not enough.

My husband was patient and accommodating when I'd pass one and say "just a sec, let me pop in here." Fortunately magazines don't cost a lot and don't take up too much room in a suitcase. When I first traveled to Europe I scoured the news stands for pattern magazines.
