Obviously, the first thing I thought about for this late January post was a red dress for Valentine’s Day. My original plan was to whip up one of the new McCalls early spring patterns, M7534. It looks like a fairly simple pattern that could be whipped up in a time for Valentine’s Day for…

I have been eagerly awaiting McCalls Early Fall Patterns because this release was to include the first Beaute’ J’adore patterns!

I haven’t purchased many patterns recently.…
