    McCalls 6750 – Palmer/Pletsch – A Crisp White Shirt

    February 26, 2020 /

    Hello all, A number of years ago, I focussed my sewing on wardrobe builders; items which are considered basics and which will mix and match not only with each other, but also with what I already had in my closet.  I did this for a year and really built up a solid wardrobe of very wearable items.

    Simply Dotty for McCalls 6563

    McCalls 2401 – Tried and True

    May 13, 2015 /

    Hello all, A few years ago, McCalls put out M2401 which on the surface is a run of the mill sheath pattern.  A front, cut on the fold with darts at the bust and down the abdomen, two darted back pieces, and sleeves…or not. Where the clever folks at McCalls really did us a good turn was with the number of options and combinations that they put into the one envelope.  Have a look:

    McCalls 3830 – Wardrobe Builder

    March 10, 2015 /

    Hello all, One key area of focus for me this year is wardrobe building by adding some basics to my closet.  My description of basics means sewing classic, stylish patterns which will integrate well with each other or with other pieces that I already have.  This isn’t about trends or fads; rather it is about having garments that can be worn confidently for years to come and ones that I can mix and match. Such is the case with McCalls 3830 which is a pattern for a basic straight skirt with several length options as seen here:
