McCall's pattern sale?

The window of my local fabric shop has a half-price flyer for McCall's.  I've had my eye on



ever since it came out, and this



came on my radar as a possibility for the Balenciaga.

Love the shirt dress. Not buying more patterns until my current projects are done.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

They are nice, but not for me with no waist!  Retro is very "in" at the moment.

There are a couple I might pick up in Abakhan when I'm next in but I have so many patterns......

I've made the shirt dress too, but had to take some of the fullness out of the back bodice. It billowed a bit too much for my liking. I think I had to shorten the bodice a bit too, but that's probably just me being a bit short-waisted.
