Simplicity S8926 Sewing Pattern: Plans and Ideas
Hi everyone! Last year, I purchased a copy of Simplicity pattern S8926. At that time, I wanted to buy a pattern to make a sort-of almost look a like pajama set I saw on YouTube. The person I saw wearing the pajamas is from Japan and, knowing Japanese sizing, I will most defiantly not fit them. (Even though the pajamas are oversized and will probably fit me that way, I am still too tall to wear them!) Despite the size difference, I couldn’t stop thinking about the pajamas. They were so cute and practical! They would also be fun to wear during the Christmas season. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a…

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…

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…

Anna’s Coronation Dress- Skirt Panels and Pattern Fix
Progress on the skirt for Anna’s coronation dress was fast, but then quickly slowed down due to life, a virus I caught, and other projects I’m working on. Now that I’m nearing completion of the skirt, I decided to finish writing my posts about the skirt. In the last post I made about the skirt I talked about the fabric I found for the skirt and an instruction error in the pattern. Since that is the most important part of this post, I’ll talk about that first. What exactly happened was while I was cutting out the fabric for the light green skirt panels (These are the panels that go…

Favorite Patterns for 2015- Simplicity
Finally, I made the follow up post to my favorite sewing patterns from McCall’s! (Just in time for Halloween too) It took me longer than I wanted to type this post because Simplicity and McCall’s released even more new costume patterns for sale. This was driving me crazy because… well… I thought they would release them at once and be done with it. Instead they released them in phases. Since I cannot go to a store as easily as I could last year, it took me a while to buy all the patterns I wanted. Since I’m currently reorganizing my sewing room, I was unable to take photos of all…

Simplicity 1940’s Skirt
Lately I’ve been sewing costumes for this year’s Arizona Renaissance Festival. All the costumes I’m working on are complex and/or detailed and, although everything looks good and is coming together well, I became dishearten about the speed I was working on them. I thought it would be a good self esteem booster to make a simple sewing project and show myself that I can sew fast, sew very well, and the only reason why it takes me so long to make the costumes is because they are just that complex and has nothing to do with my sewing abilities. Back in December, I found a reprint of a 1940’s Simplicity…
