Our paper patterns this month are perfect for the oncoming season. Our McCall’s 8282 is a 4-in-1 pattern to fill your wardrobe with beautiful new tops and dresses to impress your friends and family. Our second pattern this month is the fabulous McCall’s 8281, which is a 3-in-1 dress pattern. Whether you’re looking for a dress for a summer picnic or fine dining, you’ll be spoilt for choice with this collection of dresses!

Plus, as usual we have plenty of inspiring dressmaking patterns from our designers to give you lots of inspiration this month. If you’re excited for summer BBQs, or know someone who is, why not make your own apron for the occasion? Or, if you’re looking for something a little more casual for day-to-day wear, take a look at our simple short-sleeved shirt.

All this, plus our panel of industry experts deliver their usual hearty dose of advice and inspiration. Alison Smith MBE shares her expert guide to ruched bodices, and Claire-Louise Hardie guides us through guides us through pattern hacking.
