  • New Spring 2022 Sewing Patterns for Prom Dresses- Vogue Patterns

    February 24, 2022 /

    A few days ago, I talked about Simplicity and New Look Spring 2022 sewing patterns that could be used to make prom dresses. At the time I wrote the post, there was only one other pattern company with a Spring 2022 pattern collection available for purchase: Vogue Patterns. Vogue Pattern’s Spring 2022 collection has many patterns I like, but not as many I like as prom dresses. Some may disagree with me, but I didn’t see many patterns that would make prom dresses that are popular this year. Despite this, I wanted to write a post about the Spring 2022 patterns that could potentially make a prom dress or a…

  • Favorite Prom Dress Sewing Patterns for 2022- McCall’s Part 2

    February 3, 2022 /

    Well, today is the final post about my favorite prom dress sewing patterns for 2022! I found so many McCall’s patterns I think could work as sewing patterns for prom dresses I decided to slip the patterns into two posts. This is part two. You can read part one here. As with the previous McCall’s pattern post, I wanted to mention that I didn’t choose patterns from the Spring 2022 collection. When I created this list, the collection was unavailable, so I couldn’t include the patterns in this post.

  • Favorite Prom Dress Sewing Patterns for 2022- McCall’s Part 1

    February 1, 2022 /

    For the past few posts, I talked about the sewing patterns I think will make great prom dresses. There is one pattern company I have yet to talk about: McCall’s. When I searched McCall’s website for sewing patterns, I found more dress patterns than for any other company. Since I have so many patterns to talk about, I decided to split the patterns into two posts. Also, all the patterns I will be talking about do not include Spring 2022 pattern releases. When I wrote this post, the spring pattern collection was not available at that time. So, I included the patterns from previous collections.

  • My Hilary Duff x McCall’s Sewing Pattern Collection- 2021

    May 4, 2021 /

    Recently, I’ve been struggling to come up with blog post ideas for this blog. Since this is my sewing, art, and photography blog, I don’t like to write a post unless I have something creative to share. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to be very creative lately. Due to this, all I have to talk about are my plans for sewing and craft projects. Since I’m struggling to come up with ideas on what to write about, I decided to write a post about something I’m passionate, and proud, of that involves sewing, art, photography, and crafts. Last year, I decided to start purchasing vintage and out of print sewing…

    September 10, 2020 /

    New sewing pattern haul video up on my YouTube channel: McCall’s sewing pattern haul for June 2020 part 1…   I bought so many patterns from McCall’s in June that I needed to split the patterns into two hauls. The second haul is already up on my YouTube channel, but I’ll post that video in a separate post. Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!

  • 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…

  • 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…
