McCall Patterns - Fall 2019

New pattern alert! So, let's just jump right in. Here's what I'll be buying:McCall Patterns #M7997


Blazers have been having a moment for the last couple of years now. Then oversized blazers became a thing. So, it's a natural fashion progression that blazer dresses would be in style again. This is a big throwback style from the 80s and early 90s. I remember wearing blazer mini dresses. I actually had on a cream colored blazer mini dress one when I met my husband back 1990.

It's still a style that translates in a modern way that I don't mind revisiting.

There's a western trend going on right now. I'd like to credit Lil Nas X and his "Old Town Road" sensational hit for it.

Plus, this dress would give me a great reason to get these boots I've been stalking:

I've been wanting a sweater or sweatshirt style dress like this. Usually when I see dresses like this in ready to wear, they're always extremely short. I love the idea of creating one for myself that won't look like a tunic.

 It goes without saying that I love this jumpsuit. So, I'll be sauntering around this come fall. Our falls are so mild that I won't have to wear a coat or jacket for a while and I'll be able to show off those amazing sleeves.
This is a pretty great pattern. And it looks like it'll be fun to make. I find lots of detailed topstitching so satisfying.

The top and bodysuit will make a great addition.

  1. 7997 is definitely a throwback to my college years. I remember the popularity of this type of pattern when I worked at Piece Goods Fabric store.

  4. Am quite disappointed. The only thing I like is the sweater dress but does one need a pattern for it? The jackets are a bit too short for comfort and warmth.

    1. That type of jacket is not for warmth, it's for style! It's a cute topper. And I have the benefit of living in the Deep South that during fall, I can wear that jacket, bare legs and open-toed shoes!

  5. Hi Erica, for the jumpsuit are you going to gather the hem or make it loose and wide? And the sleeves?

    1. I have no clue. It’s not even something on my mind. I’ll figure it out when I get around to sewing it.

  6. I wasn't sure about M7997 until I saw it as almost a jumper with a long sleeved shirt underneath. Now I can't wait for another sale! (I missed the last McCall's sale by ONE day)
