Title: McCall's pattern sale?
Post by: UttaRetch on May 22, 2018, 17:22:43 PM

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 (https://vg-images.condecdn.net/image/6E6oKwo2mrO/crop/810/f/_mon0276.jpg).

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

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.

Received an email today from Sewdirect confirming that McCall's half-price sale (https://mailchi.mp/sewdirect.com/mccallsspring2018-40853?e=5c7563e88a).
