Mccall's fall patterns are out! Excitement, excitement
KitnRose Intermediate TX USA Member since 6/18/03 Posts: 2026	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/1/04 2:25 PM Mccall just released their 77 (according to their website) new patterns for fall.  To be honest, I didn't find most of them anything to get too excited about, but much of that's because they're not focused on my figure this season.  That's ok, I've got waaaaaay too many patterns to ever use already!  But I wouldn't mind it if someone else, perferably an hourglass shaped shorter person, made 4594 just to show me how it looks.  I LOVE the tango look of that skirt.  And skirt4595 (specifically the grey buckled one) is so beautifully modern, I might have to try it out.  What's YOUR fave? ------ Kit "Never underestimate the power of the right dress!" - drsue "Hyu gots to know how to sveet tok de costumers, dollink" - Girl Genius, 11-24-08

First thing- the mannequins they used to model the toddler garments are REALLY creepy.  You'd think it'd be easy to find a cute toddler to model.... love love love thismod kids' dress.  DD is getting that one someday. And look at these super-trendy satin cargoes for girls.  A couple seasons late but oh well. A simpler alternative to Vogue 7889 or 7899 .... junior mod shift dress A misses' version I love hat D What is with view C???? ------ Nikki Medved My blog: http://subversivesewer.wordpress.com Visit my pro-sewing store! http://www.cafeshops.com/sewingdiva

Good value. But that cape is creepy. To be honest, there isn't much to get excited about in this new collection. And the presentation is poor - white dolls instead of live children as models, and some of the women's outfits on stands with a pair of shoes in front!! Looks like money-saving. Cutting back on design input, too.

They'll find my head slumped over my precious Kenmore 19606 and have to pry the seam ripper from my cold, dead hands.

LOL!     I kinda like this jacket: 4599. The January issue of Burda mag had a lot of pairings of suede with satin, including satin cargos. Does the year lag between Burda and US fashion mean they'll stick around thru next winter? ------ mmmmm woooool
