#McCalls patterns

McCall's M6504. Ok, so for this one I was making A and then towards the end there accidentally did the shoulders for C. Now I could have just ripped the seams, but I had used a serger, so it had cut some of the fabric away, and I thought you know what surely one of the scraps is large enough that I can just make the sleeves, and I got really lucky. So yay! M6504 with sleeves and no tail, so really it looks like a completely different dress and I totally don't just wear the same thing over and over again in different colors. 😉

Why is this pattern only in small child sizes?! I mean, you really think that people who sew their own clothes wouldn't want a rainbow knit dress?

Tying up loose ends

Back from vacation and ready to show off my latest make, a lobster-themed tie front shirt from #McCalls8620. This was a perfect addition to my vacation wear!

butterick has been making sewing patterns since 1863, so they basically rose in popularity along with the sewing machine. mccall's was founded in 1870. vogue was established in 1899, and simplicity in 1927. they weren't all under the same company until 2017. they avoided getting broken up by the FTC because the deal brokered was under the trade commission's monetary threshold to qualify as a monopoly. now the parent company has been sold to the same liquidator that has been slashing and burning joanne's to the ground, specifically citing tariffs for their OTHER products even though the patterns themselves are made in the US. this company also owns the last tissue pattern paper production factory in the US which smaller pattern companies contract with in order to produce THEIR patterns, not to mention any archival materials for the 100+ years most of these companies have been operating.

if you would like to share something special or important you made with one of these patterns in the tags, that would be really cool, too. even if they are big companies in their home nations, please count non-american produced patterns as "indie" for the purposes of this poll, mainly because of issues of access. if you couldn't get it in a big box craft store like joanne's (rip), that's indie for a lot of people.

M6504 the one I managed to make correctly. The other one I started following the wrong directions, so now I have to put some sleeves on (seemed easier than ripping up what I did wrong). It is almost done too. I am still really pleased with both dresses.

I’ve had this pattern for awhile. I’d wanted to make View C, which has the big fold over collar, but I didn’t have enough fabric. I used merino wool knit that I bought from Mood fabrics a few years back. Yes, it sat in my stash that long, because I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to make with it. I needed a new winter shirt, and I had no money because I was waiting on my disability claim for…
