Simplicity’s USA 250 Sewing Patterns
Hi everyone! This year (2026) is the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. There are a lot of ways to celebrate the semiquincentennial, including making things. If you are interested in sewing something, you’re in luck because Simplicity has released three sewing patterns for the 250th anniversary! The three sewing patterns include a pattern for flags and appliqués while the other two are rereleases of costume patterns from the bicentennial pattern collection in 1976. All the images of the patterns and information used in this post is from each of the pattern listings on simplicity.com. This post is not sponsored.

Simplicity S8926 Finished Pants
Hi everyone! Even though I started talking about my plans to make Simplicity’s pattern S8926 in a post last week, I started working on the clothes long before the post published. Because of this, I can announce I finished not only one but both pairs of the pants from the pattern! I made both pairs of the pants out of black flannel. I intended on making them to use them as pajama bottoms. They worked out well and, even though I had to tweet a part of the pattern and another confused me, I am very happy with the way both turned out.

New Spring 2022 Sewing Patterns for Prom Dresses- Simplicity and New Look
A few weeks ago, I wrote four posts about sewing patterns I think could make prom dresses. Since then, two of the big four sewing pattern companies released their Spring 2022 pattern collections. In these releases, there are new formal patterns as well as dress patterns that could work as prom dresses. Since there are so many dress and formal clothing patterns to pick from, I wanted to write new posts about these patterns. For this new series of posts, I’m starting with Simplicity patterns. Along with Simplicity, I will also talk about a New Look sewing pattern that is new for Spring 2022 and I think could work as…

Favorite Prom Dress Sewing Patterns for 2022- Simplicity
It’s almost the time of the year when prom season begins! I love this time of the year because I enjoy looking at the new formal dress trends at the store. Even though it will be a while before prom season begins, it is the right time for anyone planning to sew their own prom dress to begin searching for patterns, fabric, sewing supplies, and to start sewing it. I wanted to write a post about the prom dress appropriate patterns available for a few years, but never did. This year, I had some time to write posts for every pattern company I wanted to talk about. For the first…

Simplicity x Disney’s Cruella Sewing Patterns at Joann’s
Hi everyone! Recently, I received an email that Joann’s has exclusive fabric and sewing patterns inspired by Disney’s new movie, Cruella. I was curious, so when I had the chance to go to Joann’s, I went to see the patterns. I found the patterns in a display located on the table where the pattern books are…

Sewing Pattern I Want to Make in 2020- Part 1
Although we’re over halfway through the month of January, I wanted to talk about my current sewing plans. I have too many sewing plans to talk at length about (And the piles of fabric I need to sew to prove it) but I have several sewing patterns I want to use to make them. So, I wanted to talk about all the sewing patterns I want to make this year. Or the beginning of the year. Depends when I get around to making them. Since I have so many sewing patterns I want to make, I decided to split the sewing patterns into three posts.

Sewing Pajama Bottoms- Simplicity 2290
Hi everyone! I debated if I should publish this post or not, but I decided to just publish it anyway. So, what was it that I was so unsure about writing a post about? Pajama bottoms. Pajama bottoms are not the most exciting sewing project to talk about for an advanced sewer because they are so simple, but believe it or not I never tried to make myself a pair of bottoms until last October. To make a long story short, I became very tired of looking for pajama bottoms in store only to find pajama bottoms made out of such thin fabric I wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing them. So,…

March 2018 Sewing Pattern Haul
Hi everyone! It’s time for another sewing pattern haul. I missed February’s pattern haul because I didn’t buy any patterns. In March, McCall’s and Simplicity patterns were on sale so I bought some that I wanted along with pattern I already owned but needed to buy new ones as back up or replacements. In addition to this post, I also created a video about my pattern haul! You can see it here:

Simplicity’s Print on Demand Review
It’s been a while since I made a post about patterns I bought. Ok, it’s been over a year. And a half. *sigh* I thought about making a favorite patterns for 2016 in December, but I decided not to because life was so crazy for me that I didn’t keep track about what patterns came out last year. I don’t think I’ll be doing a favorite pattern post this year either, but I wanted to talk about Simplicity’s print on demand service. I had my eye on several patterns available on Simplicity’s print on demand service for many months, but earlier this year bought one. This pattern eventually became available…
