See them here.  There is nothing compelling for me, but I did notice how badly the zip on



the 8205 sample is sewn.  ><

I quite like this one:



And I do like that skirt, zip notwithstanding.  I also like the fact that they are all available as digital patterns (although not the fact that they are the same price as the paper ones - there should be some reduction for the lack of solid matter!)
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Looking at that lot I feel quite old, and that zip, they should be embarrassed to 'feature' it so prominently.

Been there, had all that more than 40 years ago, won't be partaking this time round.
Life's too short for ironing.

You don't even need a pattern for 8205.

Quite like M8214 though I do have a number of patterns for dresses with flounces so probably don't need any more (in fact I definitely don't need any more  :laughing: ).
McCalls is aimed at a younger age group so many of its patterns are too fitted for me. I do like the roaring twenties coat and hat although the line drawing is a little dull. With a nice fake fur collar it could be good.

I have girls in their 20 who appreciate hand made garments and for them, the shacket number 8210 is very on trend

I can see one in a denim weight fabric for summer.
