Finally organized my Burda magazines!
Mikgirl Member since 2/24/10 Posts: 299	Login to reply to this post 2 members like this. Date: 7/23/12 1:22 AM I don't know if this is the right place to write this... I have about 20 past Burda magazine issues. Everytime I wanted to get an inspiration, I used to bring the entire set of these to the living room and go through each one. Today, I scanned the front cover and "All styles at a glance" pages, put them into sheet protector and filed them into a binder. Now when I want to look for something, I'd just go to the binder, and if I find something I'd just grab that one issue. I've been wanting to do this for awhile and now finally did them all! Aaaawwww... Feel so much better! I just hope I can do this everytime I get a new issue!

Yes, this is what I've been dreaming of doing for a while now. That's quite a task if you have a lot of magazines, but WELL worth it. I do exactly the same thing you used to -- bring the entire set into the living room and go through each one. ------ my shield and my very great reward (Gen. 15:1) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ http://clearingclearing.weebly.com/

I have been dreaming of a way to organize them better. I like the picassa Idea I might try that method. Then you can organize the magazines by date. I was thinking today I should go through all the traced patterns as well and thin them out. I am such a collector/hoarder once I go through the trouble of tracing them i don't want to through them away, now I have a million traced patterns and some of this stuff I will never make again. Like that military jacket I put into the think pink contest last year.

HawkeMorningStar7   Intermediate CA USA Member since 6/21/05 Posts: 1254	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/24/12 11:49 AM Yes copying All Styles at a Glance pages 0n a 17x 11 paper , folding and slipping into a sheet protector has been the way for me to see all my Burdas for many years. I have ALL copies of Burdas from when they started to do All Styles at a Glance Aug 93 they are all here: shown here Now I have about 25 plus Patrones but they dont have a line drawing on two pages so I have to thumb thru the back of those I should do my la Mia Boutiques, have about 12 of those.....but I like to browse those, the line drawings are not "accurate". My big folder is getting full, after this year i may need another Fun seeing styles change over the decades....... ------ .....Behold, a wonder did appear; Amazement was my bliss.......
