I love seeing the new patterns. I like it even better when I get an email telling that a new collection is available. The new spring collection is very feminine with many dresses/skirts being very full. I guess it has a little bit of a 50s vibe. Although a full skirt is very feminine, I still prefer a slimmer skirt. Here are my picks:
This is McCall's 7081. Cute little side-zip dress. Doesn't it have a lovely full skirt? I like that is has a sleeveless option and two sleeves to choose from. In looking at the fabric suggestions, you don't want to use a light weight fabric in this. I think this would look nice in a solid chambray.
The shirt-dress is still going strong with this fun version M7084. The stripes really show off the cut of the fabric. Although the full skirt shown is wonderful, I prefer the slightly straighter skirt. Specifically, the collar on version A with the sleeves on version B. Isn't this why we sew? So, we can change it up to better suit our own style.
I love this top. It is M7093. This looks very wearable to me. View B as shown in the picture is fantastic. I also think that this style could easily be lengthened into a dress using the View D. It calls for light to medium weight fabrics. Oh, I think this one definitely coming home with me at some point.
What are your favorites from the new McCalls patterns?
Happy Sewing!
