Favorite McCall’s Patterns- Summer 2020

September 9, 2020

Hi everyone! Although McCall’s released their fall patterns, I still have yet to share my favorite patterns released in summer 2020. The summer pattern releases included many original McCall’s designs with official names and hashtags to use if someone makes the pattern and posts a picture of it on social media, as well as patterns from two designers, Nicole Miller and Melissa Watson for Palmer/Pletsch. The Nicole Miller and Meissa Watson patterns do not have official names or hashtags like the patterns designed by McCall’s.

Although I still felt disheartened by McCall’s rebranding, I liked a lot of sewing patterns from the summer collection. Here are my favorites…

The first pattern is McCall’s M8104…

The name of this pattern is Dawn and the sewing rating is easy. Use #DawnMcCalls if you make this pattern and post a photograph of it on social media.

The next pattern is McCall’s M8122…
