A Moment in Fashion History
Scotty dogs were an enduring novelty motif in 1940s home sewing, embraced for everything from aprons to children's wear thanks to the breed's popularity as a presidential pet and its simple, graphic silhouette that appliquéd beautifully. McCall's Pattern 1376 puts that same playful dog on a leash across three color-blocked apron styles, letting the home sewer match the trim to her own kitchen.
