    Hi everyone! Halloween is this week and, if you are a long-time reader of this blog, then you know I used to make costumes and go to conventions. For many years, I decided to not bother making costumes or go to conventions like I once did. I just needed to focus on other things and I didn’t feel motivated nor inspired to make costumes like I once had been. Also, the convention scene changed so much I didn’t want to go anymore. Especially in costume! Despite this, I wanted to dabble in costume making again for years. The problem is I didn’t know what I wanted to make or work…

  • New McCall’s Costume Sewing Patterns for Spring/Summer 2020

    August 26, 2020 /

    Hi everyone! After talking about the new costume sewing patterns from McCall’s patterns, I wanted to talk about the costume patterns that were new for the Spring and Summer 2020. I didn’t talk about them earlier because I didn’t have the time to write a post. Now that I have some time, I decided to sit down and write one all about the sewing patterns I missed talking about. There are two Angela Clayton designed patterns, two Nancy Farris-Theé designed patterns, and four Yaya Han designed patterns.

  • New McCall’s Costume Sewing Patterns for August 2020

    August 20, 2020 /

    Hi everyone! After my last sewing pattern themed post about the new rebranding of The McCall Pattern Company, I wanted to talk about something less investigative: McCall’s has new costume patterns. This collection of sewing patterns include two new Angela Clayton designed patterns, original McCall’s designed patterns, and patterns that are reprints of Butterick patterns. I believe the reprint patterns from Butterick’s line of costumes are part of the rebranding of The McCall Pattern Company and the shifting of patterns between brands. It’s confusing to see the patterns get shifted around, so I wanted to write a post pointing out which patterns are from Butterick and which ones are not.…

  • Costuming Sewing Plans for 2020

    December 26, 2019 /

    It’s almost 2020 and it’s time to start planning for new sewing projects. I’m not sure what kind of general sewing projects I want to work on, but I already have an idea of what kind of costumes I would like to make. Although I make a costuming sewing plan list every year, I don’t finish anything on my list. In this coming year, I already gathered all the fabric, patterns, and, with some costumes, all the supplies I need to make them. All I need to do is sew them! Because I’m so prepared to start sewing, I’m extremely confidant that I will complete nearly everything on this list.…

  • Thoughts on McCall’s M7965- Potential Fit Issues, Underthings, & More

    September 6, 2019 /

    Hi everyone! It’s been way too long since I talked about sewing anything. I talked about my sewing break in my post here, but since that post the only thing I had time to make was a scarf I’m knitting. It makes me annoyed that I don’t have anything sewing related to talk about so I wanted to fix that by talking about a pattern I’m debating on making: McCall’s M7965. I want to make it for a YouTube video, but I’m unsure if I’ll have the time to make it and record at the same time. Because of this, I wanted to talk about this pattern and my thoughts…
