Date: 9/21/11 5:11 PM Squirellypoo pointed out in a recent review of the September issue that there are NEW patterns available for free download on the site.
So, here they are, for those who are interested:
Molde vestido de mang 3/4 com transparencia

Size 48 (approx btw Burda 46-48)
molde vestido sem manga preto

Size 42 (approx btw Burda 40-42)
molde vestido longo de festa de um ombro sò

Size 38 (approx btw Burda 36-38)
molde vestido em camada com transparencia

Size 38 (approx btw Burda 36-38)
I don't work for them but I have a very atavistic response to the word free

Date: 5/10/12 12:41 PM Ok, I'm keeping this thread alive and will update periodically.
They added three (3) more FREE download patterns to the page since my last post.
Talita Lima seamed dress, size 38

Cynthia Hayashi Batwing Sack Dress
Special Occasion Dress, Size 52

The knitting and crochet projects look good to me too (bolero jacket, crochet dresses etc) ------ Fashion Maté, where I blog about what I (eventually) sew : http://fashionmate.blogspot.com

Date: 5/11/12 5:31 AM Ooh thanks Arielle! I always forget to check their download page, except when they feature something in the magazine and say it's a download!
And FYI to others, if you like any of these free patterns, download them NOW, because they do periodically purge their download section and then they're gone! ------ www.fehrtrade.com |

Date: 6/18/12 11:38 AM They've added MEN'S PATTERNS this time:
Jaqueta de couro com ziper

Blazer masculino com bolsos frontais

Unfortunately, I could not locate the Men's Size chart on the site. Maybe it's in one of the issues? I just started receiving a subscription from Manequim (I'll spare you the postal drama) so watch this space for an update later on.
Another thing to note: they rotate the downloads so if you see something you like, download it TODAY, ok? ------ Fashion Maté, where I blog about what I (eventually) sew : http://fashionmate.blogspot.com

Date: 6/18/12 12:26 PM Thanks for posting this! I've been curious about getting a subscription for awhile but didn't know if I wanted to weave through all the steps. The online freebies are a great substitute until I make a final decision. ------ I'm finally a blogger!

I have a mailbox out of Florida (local post still not recovered after the EQ and everything) and they didn't get the first 5 issues. Seriously! I emailed Manequim and they showed me the address used, everything looks fine. But zero magazines. Emailed the Florida courier offices, nothing in their hands. I switch from the POBox address/magazines to the street address/packages.
So far so good, got the first issue of the "new address" and am keeping my fingers crossed.
But Manequim's team is weird. Each email gets replied to 3-4 times seemingly by different people each occurrence because they keep asking me for the same info i.e. replying to my original email. So if I write asking for the address correction, I get several emails over time telling me "duly noted". It's insane!

Date: 6/18/12 2:17 PM No, but they already told me I wouldn't get the first issue mailed until July, which means August here. Not sure if they will charge my card then or not, since I have gotten a reply stating that they HAVE charged my card. Uh where? It's my bank, and I know it hasn't come through at all. So I've emailed and everyone of them takes at least 6 weeks to answer.
My post office is usually really good about all the stuff I order around the world and I told them to expect it sometime (I live in a small rural town), and except a package I mailed off last week that got lost, it's usually excellent. I've found by telling the postmaster about it, I get it in a lot better shape then if I don't. |
