I recently bought 10 McCall’s patterns when they were on sale for 99 cents each (*happiness*). I’m excited about making things with them. I’ve already started one item – a medieval overdress (C). I’m using M5499. I was going to make all of it out of this $1 a yard polyester from guess where:
In my haste and all-knowingness, I folded the fabric wrong. I ended up with the front and back middle sections in that, and the side pieces in the gray-green fabric leftover from making a cloak.
Other projects I hope to complete this year (or next) in order of importance:
Chemise C of M4091 in white cotton or linen
The vest of M4492 in brown microsuede
Skirt A of M4090 in dark green cotton, broadcloth, or something like that
Cloak C of 2853 in a medium or dark brown something
Dress D of M4490 in dark blue cotton or linen or something similar
I want to make a different version (a slightly altered A, or B) of M4995, probably in a dark red something. *coughSusanNarniacough*
Once my younger sister decides what costume she’d like me to make for her (it’ll be probably one or a mixture of the above patterns or something similar) I’ll make a version for myself and see if it fits her and then make it for her in whatever fabric she buys (I don’t want to use her fabric to make something and then have it not fit her. But we’re about the same size – I weigh a few pounds more – so it probably won’t be a problem). So the order of items I make might get messed up, but that’s okay!

God bless!
