So today I was picking up some Velcro at Hancock Fabrics for a baby dress for the last reborn that I completed, the preemie Stephanie Sullivan sculpt, and it just so happened that the Simplicity Patterns where on sale! I decided not to go overboard but to just pick out three or four that I really thought I could complete in a timely manner, say under a few days.
I decided on four really cute patterns:
1429
4192
1804
2246
Each pattern envelope had at least one thing that I really liked. And I was interested in doing a couple of knit pieces, which I am not an expert at.
The first pattern 1429 that I purchased is the skirt that I was most interested in. The long skirt didn't look dowdy on the model and I think that for a plus size girl like me it would work really well. I came home and thought, "Great! I'll look up other completed projects to see how it turned out."
But to no avail, google search produced no results. The other patterns were easy to find completed projects and so I think that 1429 will by the first project for me to do and maybe do a blog and video review on the end result and process.
I love the fact that each pattern doesn't require a huge list of notions to complete. I think that I am getting tired of that with all the baby and doll clothes that I have worked on lately. So once I wrap up my project for the preemie, I think that I will go back to HF and get the perfect fabric that I spied for this skirt.
