In this video I’m doing a first look at the McCall’s Spring 2026 lineup, and I’m basically treating it like a pattern window-shopping trip—except we’re actually being intentional. I’m clicking through the new releases on simplicity.com and talking through what’s catching my eye, what feels wearable, and what looks like it would be a good time at the sewing machine. If you love a good pattern haul vibe but want the “should I actually sew this?” conversation too, this one is for you. I also share how I approach these seasonal drops: I’m looking at silhouette, styling, and how easy it’ll be to customize for real life—like whether a design has potential for repeat makes, how it might work in different fabrics, and what I’d change to make it feel more “me.” The takeaway is simple: you don’t have to buy everything in a new release to enjoy it—use the first look to build a smart wishlist, spot trends you actually like, and pick patterns that match your closet and your skill level.
