Patrones Spanish Sewing Magazines

A wonderful sewist sent me these three magazines.
Very desirable spanish language sewing magazines.In the same genre as Burda WOF, La Mia Boutique, Modellina, sought after and silly prices outside of Spain , Canaries , Greece or Mexico.
Official website info:
Patrones
I am not going to do a review but suffice to say that they showcase high fashion trendy well known high street as well as top designer patterns.
The charts are not as polished as say Burda , diff sizing , minimal instruction in espanol.
Looking through the issues the pictures show the original garments( I know from the stamped buttons in some cases) but the actual patterns are probably drafted to give the finished look.Clearly no couture looking pattern pieces and or construction.
Have already bookmark some delicious delights.
Near the top of my wish list is a Burberry linen trench coat.
Will try and get a few more of the Moda Internacional issues but only if the price is right.
Enjoy
