 So I don't know if you caught this or not, but McCulls just had a $199 pattern sale. Actually, we didn't even talk to each other about it. We saw each other at yoga one day and I mentioned the sale and she's like, Well, I got the sale too. So we both ordered a bunch of patterns. Didn't even know we were doing it. So we wanted to share our little McCulls haul with you. Let you know what we picked and what we think we might make with it. So I'll start first. Okay. We also don't know what we picked. We'll see how I'll style that. So I got first one here is a button-up dress. It's M7380. See here? It's just a classic kind of button-up dress, but it is a little different. I do have two other button-up dress patterns that I've already sewn, but I got this one because it's got a hidden button packet. My other two don't have that, so I like that it has that. And it also has a little elastic gathering just in the center back. So it kind of cinches in at the back waist there. And then it's a little gathered underneath of it. So I thought that was really cute. I'll be making the sleeveless version of probably out of a chambrite. Yeah, super good. I can totally see you in that one. My first one, I'm not sure if you follow McCulls on Instagram or not, but they actually did feature this one because if you've seen in magazines or in stores, the whole lace-up bodice detail is everywhere right now. People are just really gravitating toward that. So I picked M7391 simply because it had that wonderful lace-up detail. I think it'd be really cute in really kind of any shirting. I kind of sort of dig the suede dress version here. I don't think it's very practical for Charleston. No, that's true. But chambrite is an ovaries choice or even like a light gauze. That could be really cute too. So there's sleeveless version, long sleeve version with the button tabs. So yeah, probably some kind of light shirting, but going to have to get to work on those grommets for sure. All right, very cool. So the next one I picked is a skirt. It's M7392 and I picked it mainly because of the scallops. I actually attempted this when I first started sewing. I don't know why I ever thought as a beginner sewer I could make scallops look nice, but it was a complete disaster and it went into the trash. So now that I'm a little more experienced, I'd love to give this a try. The Lily Pulitzer skirt that have the scallops and they have the shorts. I just love those, but they're so expensive. So I would really love to do this myself. It's got a placket down the front. You can choose snaps for it. Now that you have your cool snap tool that we shared about in our April favorites, I might be borrowing that from you. I'm probably going to give it a try as a snap. So that way. Yeah, I don't know what their method is. I did do scallops on a pair of shorts that actually did turn out really well. I got some interesting tips. So we'll compare those and then maybe we'll do a scallop tutorial video. If you guys are interested in knowing how to do that, leave it in the comments below and we can get to work on that for y'all. So the next pattern is another top pattern. I really feel like tops are missing from my catalog of patterns. So I really focused on trying to find some really cool, interesting tops. So I picked up this one mostly for version D that has that waterfall going down the side. I think that's just such an interesting detail and you can't see it from here, but the back actually just goes down to a V. It's not a standard strap that goes parallel down your back. It goes into a QV in the back. So I really love that version. I have a lot of like silks and rayons and things like that in my stash already, depending on the yardage. I imagine that little dude, I think he does take up quite a bit of yardage. But the other versions are cute too. This one has kind of just like a center, not really a pleat. It's just like an overlay almost. So I don't know. Lots of Mercute. I don't know about the lace overlay one though. So I picked the same one and I purchased it because of the overlay. Because of the lace? Because when we were in New York City, I picked up that black lace and it's got the fringe at the end. So I thought it'd be cute to overlay that with that and just do solid black underneath. Well, we'll see. Maybe we'll make both of our versions and then people can vote. Overlays are just everywhere right now. Yeah, that's true. And I like the keyhole back and that too. Yeah, classic keyholes. So I guess that takes that one out of my pile. Anyway, it's got plenty of others. So my next one here is M6931. Just a simple elastic gathered skirt. I don't know why I picked it up. I think I just really like how maybe they styled it in the picture. I also really like the amount of gathering. So instead of having to think about creating my own because you can create your own. I'd rather just for $1.99. If I really like the amount of gathering they have and the length then I'm just going to use the pattern. So I really like this. I've got lots of rayons in my stash right now. So I'm planning on making the long one with a slit. What do you think about the color blocking down the center? Would you ever try that? Really not. Not quite me. I mean maybe if I had two fabrics that were kind of, you know, they're in the same shape. But honestly with the right fabric and the drape on that it's going to look so cute. And I love the wide elastic band. You don't really see that a lot on elastic skirt. Well, and two, I wonder what the elastic is. Notions. Two inch elastic. Two inch. Okay. So also in our, I shared that I buy my elastic on a roll because I make a lot of things with elastic. So two inch elastic, that's what I already have. So that's perfect. Yeah. I think you'll get a lot out of that. Yeah. That seems pretty simple. Okay. So the next one, I don't know what you guys think of this one. It could be a little raunchy. I'm not sure that I'm down for the belly button opening. But what I do love is this crossover bodice, which is really, really cute. And even if I didn't want to sew the pants, which I probably wouldn't. I just not a fan of like a jumpsuit that's so tailored like that. I probably would do the shorts, but you can attach any bodice with a waistband to any skirt pattern with a waistband. So I could easily turn that into a dress. And I don't know. I just think like the folds that it makes is really cute and unique. And what you can't see is in the back, it almost creates like a mock collar, which is, which is really cute. I think I will say for this version, the back, which is this, right? Nope. That's the front. The back of it does have an interesting, it's like it over, it folds over itself. So it does have a slit in the back, but it's lower on your back. It almost totally mesh. The two. Yeah, I think you could do and create kind of like a, what I call a mullet outfit where it's business in the front and party in the back. But, but yeah, so it creates like a keyhole opening from like the center of your back down to the waist scene with like an overlap on top. So I don't know. This wasn't something that I was initially like, yeah, I'm totally into having my entire cleavage exposed, but I do appreciate the alternate version that they have here. So that's why I got it. And yeah, I would make this, gosh, I guess the fabric calls for, yeah, lightweight, like crepe, chalice or chaline. Yeah, cotton blend, stable knit. So yeah, I have like a black suiting fabric almost that could be kind of classic that I could do. I guess it probably depends on what skirt I pick. If I pick like a fitted skirt or flared skirt, that would, um, that would be the determining factor there. But, oh yeah. So that's m through seven, three, six, six. If I didn't say already. All right. So next I have m seven, zero, eight, zero. And I really like this because this is got the mock tuck but it's so it looks like you're trying to pull off the crop top, which I'm just not sure that I'm brave enough to pull off. Um, so I like how it's like the fake out. Um, super cute. I think, um, this would look good with a lot of things. You know, I have that chambray eyelet, um, from the style maker fabrics, um, video that I did and I ended up choosing to sew that out of a top. But if I still had that, that could look really cute as this dress. You could even do just the, um, eyelet on the top and then do a different fabric on the bottom. If you had a solid chambray, I think that'd be really cool to mix that up. But that is that one. Yeah. You could do all kinds of, um, fabric combinations with that. You could do lace on top and a solid on the bottom or color block. And here they have all of them out of the same fabric, which isn't bad either. I like it, I like the solid more than I like the prints. I think like that. But I mean, you can even really get into some pattern matching. Maybe when we go to New York this year, you can find like the perfect scale and colors and maybe, or maybe just even more classic. More your style. Okay. So next up for me is M7360. And it's pretty much a basic half placket top. Um, it does have different sleeve versions and different pockets or no pockets, but, um, it's got a, what does that call, like a mock collar? What do they call those collars that are just, um, does it say? Hmm. It doesn't call out the collar here, but it's like a stand collar? No. Color stand? Color stand is on a true like button up collar. Anyways, a collar that looks like that, whatever it's called. I can't think of it. Um, I actually don't have a half placket. I know that some of the Indie, who's the Indie girl that just came out with a half placket? Oh, it's Hey June. Um, is the pattern maker. Uh, Cheyenne tunic. Yeah. Yeah. She's got one. Yeah. So I don't, I don't have that. Um, so I thought this would be really cute. And again, sticking with my theme of trying to get some tops. Um, I thought that someone would be really simple if you could make it out of anything under the sun. I didn't get one of my boyfriend's old shirts and make it out of that. I think that that would be pretty easy to do as well. So yeah, I can see myself making this out of a bunch of different stuff. It says chambray, poplin, linen and crepe to sheen. So lots of variety there with that one and hair bowls from the model. Her hair is so pretty. Oh yeah. Pretty, very long. Okay. Next I have M seven one one eight. I mainly picked this one because it's got some really interesting back details. Try to turn around. So you can see the line drawings. Um, but there's a lot of different things you can do with the back. It's got one is the, which is probably what I'm going to make. It's a really low V in the back and I really, really like, um, I like don't mind showing off my back if I'm going to be bold then that's where I'm going to try to show it. It also has crisscross straps and it also has just a keyhole, but it's a, it's a bigger keyhole. It's not just a small keyhole when it comes down in a, into a V kind of shape. So I just really like this one for the back. Yep. I have that one too already in my stash. Yeah. This was one of the ones that I almost made with my Lily Pulitzer fabric. Yeah. Yes. I remember you showed sent me the pictures. Yeah. Yeah. Cute. Okay. Here's something that I don't know many people might not immediately look at this and think, wow, that's something that I really want to make. But I was kind of drawn to the olive green version. Remember those water repellent jackets that we made from Silaholics, like, I was kind of envisioning that I kind of love how the hood is almost more like a robe hood. It's not a hood that has a seam line that comes around your neck. It actually comes from the bodice up and over your head. You can see version A there and I like that it's cropped and super, super cinched at the waist. I don't know. I just thought this could be so cool if you did it in the right kind of fabric and paired it with the right kind of outfit. So this, you know, fashion-wise, it's probably a little bit out there for me and maybe most of you too, but I don't know. It could be really cool if it comes out, right? Well, actually I have a picture pinned on my Pinterest board that I really like. It's similar to the one that it's the sleeveless one. And they paired it with, I think it was navy and white. It was army green, kind of that canvas-y, soft canvas. And with a navy blue and white striped dress underneath. And it was super cute. It's like a layered outfit. Yeah. Yeah. So we'll see what I end up finding for this. Fabrics, they recommend crepe, cotton blend, ripstop, which is similar to that raincoat fabric. And linen. Excuse me. Sorry. It's him. He could talk to you and say excuse me. And linen. And then there's this lace version that I mean, maybe for some of you, you never know. You never know. It could be cute. Anyway, so that's M7333. And that's all for me since you- Oh, okay. I have three more. Whoa, girl. I know. I bought eight. And this one, it was immediately in my cart because I've been wanting to make a tissue him dress for years, for years and years. And I don't know. I just never really picked up a pattern for it before. So I grabbed this one. It's a very straightforward bodice. Nothing fancy on the front or the back. The detail is really all about that tissue him. And I just can't wait to make it. It does require significant amount of fabric. But I think it's going to be really, really cute. I don't know. I want to make it out of everything. The fabric requirements are pretty vast. You can make it out of any fabric, really. I'm not going to go for like a clingy silk or anything like that. Maybe a boil would be kind of nice. You just want something that would drape correctly and flow correctly. So yeah, that's that one. And then I grabbed this. I'm not 100% sure why now that I'm looking at it. I think I was really drawn to see. And now that I look at it in person, it's kind of 80s-ish. But I don't know. I wear little cover-ups to the gym, especially after yoga. I get so cold. My body, even if it's hot outside, is just really, really cold. So I like to have a little zip up. And I thought it'd be kind of cool to make one myself rather than buying them. So descriptions or whatever you call it, to phabletics. Phabletics, yeah. So maybe this one won't get made right away, but maybe it will. Who knows? And then lastly, this again was inspired by just seeing a lot of stuff in the stores and on the runways and things like that. But the bodice that comes up to a neckband like this one does, I've been seeing a lot of places. I think mainly the inspiration comes from Kelly Ripa. I don't know. I feel like she wears this kind of style a lot. She has really great shoulders, really muscular arms. It's kind of a little bit like this one. But I think this one is even more drastic. And then the back just has two spaghetti straps that bring it down to meet the bodice. So that's M6883. And yeah, I can make this out of, again, just about anything. It would also be really great out of a boil. It has some really awesome seeming details there. It doesn't have a waistband, but it does have those really long pleats on the front and on the back. So it's really shapely and would be really flattering, hopefully. So we'll see. I kind of like the hemband better than the high-low. Yeah, I guess it depends on the fabric you pick. Yeah, I like how they contrasted. They matched the neckband and the hemband. I think that's really cute. Okay, so that is our McCall's haul. Any time that they have a big sale, like $2 patterns, I'm going to be on there right away to try and find some of their new stuff. So hopefully you found some patterns that you really like. I don't think the sale is going on any longer, unfortunately. No, but they do. But they do. I mean, it's not like one time a year. Right. And the patterns will stay in production for a while too.
