Pattern Behavior ─ The Seamy Side of Fashion

McCall's Pattern Behavior couples beloved vintage sewing patterns with captions that are droll, deadpan, and hysterically funny. Budding comedian Natalie Kossar began publishing her snarky cartoons on a Tumblr blog in 2015, and has since won the attention of Kat Harding at Jezebel, Paul Einlyng at Sweet Paul, and Dan Savage of Savage Love-along with thousands of enthusiastic followers. She has also won the support of the McCall's brand, who have opened their archives to Natalie to produce over 100 new cartoons for the book. McCall's Pattern Behavior's wry sense of humor will appeal to a wide swathe of readers, whether or not they remember the vintage McCall's patterns from their youth.

Natalie Kossar created the McCall's Pattern Behavior blog when her mother asked for help in finding an old sewing pattern online, and discovered a treasure trove of inspiration. She worked as a comedian in Chicago for several years, and is a creative writer for Hallmark. She just relocated to New Mexico.
