October 4, 2016

It seems that a few of the pattern companies have released some great cosplay patterns somewhat quietly since their last full pattern release. Simplicity has apparently decided to celebrate the Star Trek 50th Anniversary by releasing some beautiful licensed Star Trek cosplay patterns: Not to be outdone, McCall’s is jumping in on the Pokemon Go! … More Simplicity, Star Trek, McCall’s, and Pokemon – A Cosplay Pattern Update Post

Pattern Review: McCall’s 6752

September 7, 2016

I’m pretty sure this sentiment has bled through onto the blog, but the past few years I’ve felt really drained, and while I’ve thought about the possibility of sewing new wardrobe garments, I’ve not felt like I’ve had the energy to actually pull patterns and fabric out from the ever-growing stash. But for some reason, … More Pattern Review: McCall’s 6752

McCall’s Early Fall 2016 Patterns

August 5, 2016

I’m incredibly far behind in my posting, because it’s been an insane summer. Between helping my sister plan a bridal shower, going to San Diego Comic-Con, and judging at the roller skating national championships, I’ve been either really busy or totally exhausted. Happily, I’ve actually got a finished sewing project to post! Sadly, that post … More McCall’s Early Fall 2016 Patterns

McCall’s Summer 2016

May 8, 2016

The latest McCall’s patterns have been released. On the whole it’s a lot of really loose fitting dresses and tunics. It seems like all the pattern companies are tending towards the trends of loose fit and minimal details this year. To be honest, the most interesting parts of the release are the costume patterns, so … More McCall’s Summer 2016

McCall’s Patterns Early Summer 2016

April 2, 2016

The latest patterns from McCall’s are here. Also new – an update to the BMV website. Mercifully, they refreshed the appearance without losing functionality. (Unlike certain other pattern companies who made website updates recently. Ahem.) I feel like McCall’s has been hitting it out of the park with their recent releases (I keep buying more … More McCall’s Patterns Early Summer 2016

Spring 2016 McCall’s Patterns

March 18, 2016

The latest patterns from McCall’s are here. On the whole I am a bit underwhelmed by this release (there are a lot of tunics). On one hand, lots of things that look very wearable for the spring/summer transition. On the other, not a whole lot that’s inspiring me to pull out the fabric. Let’s take … More Spring 2016 McCall’s Patterns

McCall’s Winter/Holiday Patterns 2015

October 10, 2015

The latest collection from McCall’s is here. Overall I have to say that this is a decent collection – there are a lot of patterns that could be useful for a winter wardrobe (especially if you have a lot of holiday parties to attend), but nothing so outstanding or different that I feel the need … More McCall’s Winter/Holiday Patterns 2015

New McCall’s Fall 2015

August 19, 2015

The latest collection from McCall’s has been released – you can see the new patterns here. On the whole, I think this collection is pretty great. They’ve got a nice mix of silhouettes and garment types, and everything feels very modern. I even think that, for the most part, the fabric choice and styling of … More New McCall’s Fall 2015
