Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat ? Burda French style is going away
RoseFromThule Advanced Beginner FRANCE Member since 3/3/10 Posts: 390	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 5/11/12 6:19 AM The burda French site is not updated anymore, according to the webmaster. No how, no why. WTF ? (Sorry, but I'm really upset ... I hope they will not stop publishing the French Burda version alltogether). ------ Meet me at rosemiracles.wordpress.com
peaudane Intermediate FRANCE Member since 12/30/07 Posts: 464	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 5/11/12 7:30 AM The French website has been down to a minimum for a while, so I'm not surprised. I doubt they would get rid of the French version of the magazine as there is such a large community of French Burda sewists (like the Burda addicts blog).

RoseFromThule Advanced Beginner FRANCE Member since 3/3/10 Posts: 390	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 5/11/12 8:33 AM Yes, I could, but as Burda is an old German company, I'm afraid there's nothing to be done once they've made up their mind (speaking from experience ...). Basically they published a message that said "the site is over now, you can go to website X to buy single issues or enveloppe patterns, goodbye". ------ Meet me at rosemiracles.wordpress.com

I think they're just consolidating their websites into as few as possible. I wish they'd realize that the old format was much more user-friendly, but I've given up on that. Are Burda patterns still available in your stores? ------ my shield and my very great reward (Gen. 15:1) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ http://clearingclearing.weebly.com/

(The move took forever and for a year or so there was no English site that showed the envelope patterns.) ------ my shield and my very great reward (Gen. 15:1) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ http://clearingclearing.weebly.com/

It's waaaay nicer to browse through (especially on a mobile device) than the English or German sites. And it was a bonus that I could understand written French fairly well. I guess I'll have to start using the Italian version now. :( ------ www.fehrtrade.com

I would imagine doing away with the Mag first. I hope it never comes to that I love the Burda Mag

Shame - I really don't like English Bursdastyle site because I am really only interested in the magazine content and I relied on the French and Russian sites for details of the upcoming issues and the archive of past issues.
