Rap artist M.C. Hammer`s latest cover isn`t an album but a sewing pattern.

Simplicity pattern No. 0693 debuts in fabric stores in June featuring three versions of Hammer`s famous rap pants and a tuxedo-style jacket. (The pattern also will be featured in the October issue of Simplicity Patterns magazine, available on news stands in August). Included in the $7.50 pattern are two M.C. Hammer iron-on tranfers.

”I think this is the first time we`ve ever featured a male celebrity-unless you want to count the Muppets,” says Loretta De Maio, a Simplicity spokeswoman.
