McCall's Renovation

Read this article about the McCall Pattern company and home sewing. Pay close attention to some of the changes the company has gone undergone toward the end of the article. For your readers, summarize what you learned, then add an opinion piece about how "fast fashion" has affected this important part of the fashion industry.


I read this article, "Do-It-Yourself Fashion Thrives at the McCall Pattern Company" in The New York Times, and I'm pleased to see that McCall's is trying to revamp their company to be more directed towards a younger customer. They hired their first Social Media Manager to branch out and become known to the millenials. As well as bringing some nostalgia to older social media users by posting pictures of patterns from the 1970's, and from what I saw, I kinda want to order one of these patterns so I can make the garment for my next project. Been really feelin the whole 1970's to 1990's fashion vibes. I range day to day on what era to be inspired by.

i really want to make the middle zig-zag collared dress
