Maker’s Showcase: November
It’s almost the end of November so we would like to look back at some of the beautiful creations we have shared over the past couple of weeks. It’s always great to see how a pattern is made up in a different fabric, on a different person, in a different style, so we hope you’ll be inspired by these makers. We have also included the patterns they have used (or a similar one) in case you are interested in making it yourself.
If you’re currently working on your own project, please don’t forget to share it with us on social media using the hashtags #simplicitybyme or #mccallsbyme. We love nothing more than following your sewing adventures.
Pattern: Vogue 8674 – Out of print.

Sadly, Vogue 8674 is out of print, but we hope you can agree that Vogue 9288 is equally wonderful! This cape is unlined and it includes different length variations, front pockets and font button closures.
