First of all, the technical drawings are now online for the 7.2010 BurdaMag. And the issue is continuing to look very good.
Better still, they’ve got some new images for the finished garments, and that “Campus Style” feature just keeps getting better and better. By which I mean taller and taller. Remember the image from the early preview from last week in which we all had a good chuckle about the tall hot professor surrounded by her preppy elfin male students? Why, Professor Burda, you’re beautiful!
Well, it would appear that in the final cut, Professor Burda has only grown more towering!
Those young men barely reach the big floppy bow of her pristine white blouse. She’s got to be about 7 feet tall here, right? As a professor herself, the Selfish Seamstress can say that this is not what she looks like when chatting with her students. Then again, she doesn’t teach Advanced Barbershop Quartet courses like Professor Burda apparently does.
I hope we see more of Professor Burda in the future though- maybe next time she’ll be doing something like this:
And with an unusual figure like that, you know she’s got to be sewing for herself.

I keep thinking that this woman is at some point going to show up on CNN for being a predator of adolescent boys.
I mean, I’m not saying that the adolescent boys wouldn’t probably be thrilled at the chance, but just… you know… they’re like what? 14?
This is a weirder concept than the whole “I’m a housewife with two young kids and my husband is (apparently) a 20-year-old male model who doesn’t know how to put on a shirt” concept from the Summer Beach issue. No wait. If he’s 20 and the kids are, like, 6… that means she hooked up with him when he was 14.
I’m seeing a theme here. The crack-smokin’ fashion ladies at Burda may have some bigger issues than I first suspected.
At least they put out some interesting patterns.

Oh, you’ve piqued my interest. What are you a professor of? (Of what are you a professor? Of what do you profess?)

I get so pissed when I see this photo. It is an identikit of a photo shoot for Australian Vogue using private schoolboys from a local Jesuit! college. It raised eyebrows here when one page featured the boys (aged 16-17 years) looking very buff in their rowing suits and the model leaning suggestively towards them. The July Burda is TDF – my daughters will particularly like – but we wait until September for its arrival in Sydney.

Seriously- what do you click on after you get to the German only page with a picture of the magazine. I’ve clicked lots of things and none took me to cute line drawings! As for the female predator at the boys school, a little creepy. Of course, she has “I’m smart” glasses on so maybe she is just interested in their minds!

Hi Karen- if you click on the link in my post, it should take you to a page that has a picture of the magazine cove and then a table of contents that lists all the features (e.g. “Trend,” “Mode,” etc.) A couple of the features are highlighted in purple- “Die Wüste lebt,” “Auf Touren,” etc. Click on those and it’ll take you to the pictures of the garments in that feature. (Kind of like a slideshow presentation). Above the pictures are three tabs- Modestrecke, Technische Zeichnungen, and Modellfotos. Modestrecke shows you the modeled garments, technische Zeichnungen the line drawings, and Modellfotos the garments by themselves.

Ahh- you are so clever! I have seen the pics! If only it were written in Spanish or French or even Latin I might have had a chance at figuring it out, but alas, I have no German skills. Babel fish next time.

Maybe she’s been recruited by Tasia, did you see her Floralzilla post??
And now she’s commenting on my page… looks like her quest for domination is extending even to my humble corner of the world!!
(hi Tasia! Please don’t hurt me, I’m only little! :) )

I picked up this month’s magazine two days ago (I live in Germany) and it’s my favorite one in a long time (maybe ever, but I’ve only been getting them for the past 18 months or so, so my Burda “ever” isn’t very long). I was too lazy to find the pics on the website, though, so I just photographed the magazine pages when I made a blog post about it. :-)

Hmmm…. being “that” tall CANNOT be economically viable for the home seamstress surely? 50ft tall – imagine the yardage of fabric & thread you need to make even the simplest of garments. And who would want to press all those seams (not me that’s for sure). You’d resort to dry-cleaning, the bills for which would make your bank manager blush & your eco-karma would be dented from all the chemicals used :( She should give up sewing and save herself the time & trouble by joining a nudist colony… mind you the sunblock is gonna cost her a pretty-penny too LOL!

Actually, you’ve got it backwards. This is the new, all-modern version of The Lord of the Rings, where the hobbits realize that they don’t know all that much and are professionally groomed before being shipped off to boarding school. The elvish teacher’s ears have been photoshopped to look normal.

This is an excellent theory. Let us discuss this in greater depth when I am in Seattle two weeks from now!

hey, Whats up guys. I ran into a link for nudism. Its a new area to see many different kinds of nude teenagers, kids, parents that are living their lives together in a nudist community. Can anyone tell me if it is a solid website too go to or not. I believe it was solid cause no torrent cites have anything like this.
