Did you know that Simplicity patterns were .99 at Joann’s this past weekend? It’s true. You should never ever buy patterns at full price. Please don’t. Unless of course you’re supporting an indie designer.
When I came home Friday and showed Evan my $4 worth of plunder, he laughed at me. I had somehow managed to get a Lizzie McGuire pattern and 3 Project Runway patterns. And Evan was quite certain this was related to my obsession with Project Runway.
Nevermind that the patterns have nothing to do with the show. But he got a good laugh, and he needed that. His back has been hurting him for several days now (hence our “missing” Easter).
Well anyway… yesterday I needed some stress-relief…
So I made Emily a shirt. This is Simplicity 3513 (the Lizzie McGuire-themed pattern… published in 2008. Is that show even on anymore?), minus all elastic bits.
She was so kind as to model it for me today. Isn’t she the sweetest?

It’s adorable! I’m so bummed that I missed the 99 cent pattern sale.

She is growing up so beautifully! Great shirt, too.

That shirt is adorable! I dream of being able to sew.

I am so bummed I missed the sale! I just recently found your blog and love all of your spring refashions.
This shirt is adorable.

I’m actually glad I missed the sale! I’m sure I would’ve bought my limit (then gone back again!) and simply added to my dusty collection.
I really love the Lizzie McGuire patterns. Emily’s top is the cutest version I’ve seen yet (that fabric is dreamy).

So adorable. I am sorry that I missed that great pattern sale. You did quite well.

Very cute. Again, I just keep staring at that one pattern I’ve bought, daring it to dare me to dare to try it! Keep up the inspiration.

I love the shirt and what a beautiful shirt model!

Hi Kristena,
I always buy my patterns on sale at JoAnn, too! So glad you found some great patterns!
Oh, Emily is so beautiful and sweet! A perfect model! I love her sweet blouse! The colors and lace are lovely. You are quite the seamstress!
Love, Paula
