  • Thoughts on McCall’s, Butterick, Kwik Sew, and Vogue Pattern’s 2020 Rebranding

    August 18, 2020 /

    Hi everyone! Recently, while browsing for new McCall’s, Butterick, and Vogue sewing patterns, I discovered I completely rebranded themselves. The rebranding started in early 2020 before the shut downs due to the Covd-19/Coronavirus pandemic with McCall’s. McCall’s new sewing patterns had a new style of logo and look to the front of the envelopes. I wanted to write a post about it, but I was too distracted with the shut downs, the pandemic, and my own health concerts to focus enough to write one. Within the last two months, I noticed something with McCall’s, Butterick, Vogue, and Kwik Sew’s website: The URL address changed. Instead of typing in something like…

  • McCall’s 8029 Work In Progress Thoughts and Photographs

    February 18, 2020 /

    Well, I’m in the process of making McCall’s 8029 and, even though I would like to make a YouTube video about how I made this pattern, I wanted to sit down and write a post about my sewing progress. McCall’s 8029 is a sewing pattern that makes a cape and belt. I decided to make the cape and belt out of two different fabric designs, using a black and white fleece for the main body and grey fleece for the hood, belt, and contrasting parts of the cape. Here’s what it looks like so far…

  • Sewing Pattern I Want to Make in 2020- Part 1

    January 20, 2020 /

    Although we’re over halfway through the month of January, I wanted to talk about my current sewing plans. I have too many sewing plans to talk at length about (And the piles of fabric I need to sew to prove it) but I have several sewing patterns I want to use to make them. So, I wanted to talk about all the sewing patterns I want to make this year. Or the beginning of the year. Depends when I get around to making them. Since I have so many sewing patterns I want to make, I decided to split the sewing patterns into three posts.

  • 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…
