Project Run and Play: Skirting the Issue Prizes: Simplicity

Today's sponsor is one that we all know and love--Simplicity. Simplicity patterns were some of the first patterns that I started sewing with, and still use today. I love that they have various styles, from classic to modern to steampunk---there is certainly something for everyone.I also love that Simplicity has Sewing 101 tutorials, measurement charts and perfect fit techniques on their site. It's a great resource for any sew-er/designer. And the other great news of the day---a lot of their patterns are 40% off right now!!!!

Simplicity has generously offered 3 skirt entrants, a gift bag of 5 patterns of their choice along with some great trims that they have to offer.

While browsing the selection, I found quite a few that I would pick......but of course, the lucky winners get to pick their own!

I know this is blog is about children's wear, but I can't resist this blouse. I love the style, the classic feel, but yet how modern it looks. It would be so great tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt.

I also love this Lisette pattern. It is so darling with the high-low skirt. My brain is already thinking of all the variations that you could do with this look.

Isn't this pinafore dress/top cute? Again, the possibilities are endless with this pattern too.

And two final ones that I am loving as well. This gunny sack dress on the left is so cute. Modern-looking, but so comfy for a little girl to wear.

I couldn't leave out this one. Well, because I just bought it. I have been thinking about a Fall short trench coat for my 7 year old and was going to draft my own. But when I saw this one......I bought it immediately. It is seriously everything I was envisioning but with the drafting work already done. Thanks to Burda and Simplicity for that!!! And I may be making a longer one too-it is such a great classic-done-well coat.
