I plan to make McCall’s M7331 for this fall. This pattern will be so versatile for all of my wardrobe needs.
Carol Pigg
I plan on making 7353 this season, to replenish my oversized T-shirt dress collection after my continuing weight loss. It will boost my feelings, and fits my northeastern Florida lifestyle.
Florence Dupuis
I really need to make some tops. Love all of these.
Carol R
I love the techniques in this knit ensemble.
Gail Laub
I plan to make McCall’s 7331 because knit clothing is so comfortable, yet looks very neat and stylish. I love the confidence gained from knowing I look nice and my clothing will wear well all day!
Susan Spiers
I am sewing 3/4 length sleeve tops to wear over my skinny jeans! 2 down & 2 to go! Thank you, Susan
Judi
I plan on making a couple of cardigans. It doesn’t get that cold in the winter here, and i think cardigans will do nicely.
Karri H
I need to update my wardrobe. This pattern looks stylish and quick and easy to sew. Just need to finish remodeling my sewing room (and the rest of the basement) so I can get started.
Margaret Scott
I am sewing a dress. But would love to make this top and pants.
Diane Langham
WOW! what choices for a NEW look to my OLD limited wardrobe! Which do I choose? I love the way they ALL look so comfortable esp. for my mature figure and active lifestyle. Thanks!
BevM
Took a while to figure out you actually meant “email” instead of a url on table runner entries. My duh.
Bonnye
I plan to make a pair of slacks and a top. I have been doing a lot of sewing for other people and now is the time for me.
BevM
Email still will not take address for [email protected]
Marvel D.
I love pattern 7751. I like the change from the classic cotton blouse, especially when color blocking. Very classic with a modern twist. Perfect for work.
Karen simpson
My husband and I are planning a cruise and this pattern is perfect for new clothes to wear on the cruise. Love your web site and tutorials. Thanks….
Sharon Krulitz
I need to make some new tops and jackets, mine are reaching the limits of their useful life! 🙂
Noreen
I need to make some tops for travel. I love this pattern because it can essentially make your whole wardrobe!
Julie Kill
I hope to be able to sew the collection from 7331, and add some dressy cotton tops with 7751. I need my wardrobe updated! I’m still in the 80s! Although my 15 yr old says “Mom” jeans are in style now.
Teri
I am hoping to sew a few new tops for fall.
Linda Nelson
I need to make some comfortable but stylish pants.
Laura
I’m all about layers in the fall/winter so want to make some comfy sweater jackets. This pattern looks so pretty, I’d love to try it.
Candice
Definitely some new tops and sweater jackets. Mine are all worn/dated. I have the fabric, and this pattern is perfect. I will have to get it! (and some of the others you showed)
Sue Camino
Pattern 7548 has great pieces that were meant just for me. I just love the look of shorter pants just below the knees and the longer tops give these outfits a classy look.
Donna Fecteau
I plan to sew some slacks for work. This pattern would be perfect.
Jolan D
Definitely in the market for an update! The knit package will be perfect for me.

Kathryn Englebretsen
M7655 would perfect for a wedding this fall. I love the knit collection for slacks and loose jacket.
Sandra Pulsifer
love the pattern. need to make it
Janet johnson
Love the cardigan. It seems I am always a little chilly in the evening, a few cardigans could dress up a t-shirt and take the chill off, too.
Mary Green
Ive worn black as my basic color for so many years. I’m ready for something new and think some of these pieces in gray would be perfect.
Gail Thompson
I’ve made the pants from M7331 several times and find them perfect for work or leisure. I’ve even made them shorter and worn them to yoga class.
Beverly
I am an older woman living in a cold winter climate, so I love the 3/4 sleeve length and easy comfort of the knit tops in this pattern. Easy layering for warmth without heavy outerwear is always a plus.
Barbara G
I am updating my fall wardrobe first with a collared bolero jacket to wear with my already made black sheath dress.
Rosie
A pair of slacks, and an asymmetrical top. This pattern would be perfect for me.
Jennifer Fried
I like how classy this is. Wouldn’t expect anything less from Nancy.

I would sew a combination of tops, skirts, pants and cardigans with coordinating knit fabrics for easy care travel wardrobe.
Arlene Aughey
The dress with front and back overlays is coming out just lovely in a print of great Autumn colors!
Lee Ann Wagner
Would like to make some knit cardigans. Don’t need a lot of heavy clothes down here in the deep South.

Knits are perfect for work, play and especially travel. Nancy always had great tips for sewing with knits.
