New patterns

I’m not usually posting when a new series of patterns is launched by the “big 4”, I only use Vogue patterns occassionally. I do receive the emails when new patterns are added. Just now I received an email announcing McCalls spring patterns. Spring! Winter only just started here. Being in need of a break doing end-of-year billing and organizing I clicked on the link for the new McCall patterns.
The patterns: I’m not a McCalls girl, I find them pretty boring (I’ll leave it to others to find the gems I’m missing), but the photos with bicycles are …. not always the clothes for this type of activity:
If you really want to get in trouble on a bike: this type of bicycle and that dress!

The same problem.

Two on a bike with no carrier part at the back?? Clothes more appropriate to the activity though. May I say boring?

Quickly back to my administrative tasks, then perhaps tomorrow evening there is time for sewing. Makes for more interesting posts hopefully.

    My favorite is the pink dress where she is "fixing" a bike... REALLY!?

    I do like that hoodie though... just as something to toss on in the spring or fall.

    My exact thoughts. The bike is not a good prop to promote every new pattern.

    Wouldn't it be nice if the patterns were worth it?
    The bikes on the other hand are worth it! Maybe McCalls will sell them too? I'd be testing the bikes!

    The only new pattern I like is the diagonal-striped tank dress (your second picture).

    I agree. The bikes thing was just weird.
