I was recently gifted these amazing German pattern magazines from the 1950s, and they have proven to be not only great inspiration, but they have also helped me learn about pattern making! I have been learning the basics of pattern making at school, and so far that has been one of my favourite classes! It is so satisfying to make a garment that is exactly what you pictured and that fits you perfectly. These magazines are called 'Beyer Mode', and they include tons of pictures of the possible garments that you could make, a horoscope page (there is nothing better than reading horoscopes from 60 or 70 years ago), as well as tips for sewing and taking care of your home. There are also sometimes recipes in a few of the magazines that I am very curious about! Here are some of my personal favourite pages from the magazines: Which is your favourite? Do you prefer the fancy dresses or every day ones? Or the lingerie?
I don't think that I have a single favourite in all of the issues, I want to make all of them! ~K

I love Beyer Mode. Anyway, the majority of my clothes are sewn with Beyer. Not that I don't also sew with Schwabe Mode, Burda, berlins modenblatt or another german magazine.

I am so glad to here that the patterns are good from these magazines! While I also love the ballgowns and evening dresses, I totally agree with you about everyday dresses being helpful and more useable
