New McCall's spring pattern picks

Well, finally, some fresh meat.

McCall's 6024 is a fun, flirty dress with lots of ruffles. I like view A, the one in pink, and plan to use my black and white charmeuse with yellow flowers, a recent purchase from Fabricmartfabrics.com.

This is a cute and simple knit dress. I actually like the plainer bodice of view A the best.

I like view D on this design, 6035. The gathered sleeves are a neat detail for an otherwise straightforward button-up blouse. This one was sold out by the time I made it to JoAnn's on Sunday, but there's sure to be another sale right around the corner.

Oooh, 6039 is by far my favorite. Can't you just see me wearing this with all that piping?! I have the perfect fabric picked out already from JoAnn's new for spring Riviera collection. This pattern was also sadly sold out. I guess other people must like it as well.

How about you? Did I miss any of your favorites?

  3. As always, I love all your picks. Especially the first one. I predict that one will be popular all around.

  4. I had no idea that new patterns had been released and accidently bought one last week. Heh. It's 6031, a DIY style pattern for a knit tunic or dress. Just looked like some cute and comfy to wear on the weekends.

  5. Love the two dresses! That's the first Laura Ashley design that I've liked in a long time.

  8. I love Simplicity 2584 (Cynthia Rowley). I have made it twice now. The first time in white linen which has a big red flower on it and the second time in cream Thai Silk. The Thai Silk version has long sleeves like the picture but the fabric frays so much I did french seams and bias bound the centre back zip seam. This was my first time sewing french seams and have learnt that it takes a couple of millimetres off your seam allowance so your finished article is slightly smaller. Anyway, both dresses are stunning and judging by your blog and items on pattern review, this pattern would look great on you.
