Free Full-Size Up-to-Date Sewing Patterns

​I have just discovered Burda Style magazine, full of beautiful clothes photographs! AND it comes with many free patterns in a full range of sizes which you just copy from the master sheet. The really outstanding SUPER cheapskate part of this is . . . you can borrow it FREE from your local library! I'm in Yarra Plenty library (Vic), and the magazines all have the pattern master sheet in the back, so I've copied the patterns that I want onto ordinary greaseproof paper (sticky taped together for width) to sew my own clothes. The photos are inspiring, you can see what the pattern really looks like and it's simply fantastic. If your library doesn't have it then ask the librarian to get it from another library or to subscribe to it. Suggest a year's trial then drum up other borrowers so the library keeps subscribing.
