The inspiration for Gracie's Spring Look book can be summed up in 3 words:Black and White.That's it. Right now...I am crazy for all things black and white.It's clean and crisp and modern and graphic and I just love it.Although after I just said it's "modern" I have to admit that I've probably been influenced by what I've been watching lately...and it's anything but modern:"The Dick Van Dyke Show".It's my favorite show.(Nerdy but true.)And I just finished watching all the episodes sequentially. ...

Drop Waist Skirt Tutorial
Today I get to start sharing Gracie's Spring Look Book. I really should start with my inspiration post but I'm too excited so I'm going to just jump right in and share my inspiration later...maybe on Wednesday.

We just registered her for kindergarten so there has been a lot of talk about school next year---including what "school girls" wear which is where the idea for this look came from. (She doesn't have to wear a uniform but still thinks ... View the Post
Simple Simon’s New Look
Hi.What's going on? Last week we made an unexpected change over here and think we should probably put up a quick post with an explanation. So here it is:Elizabeth and I have been in the process of doing a little housekeeping and redecorating over here at Simple Simon and Company. We are reorganizing the layout, fixing up the tutorial page, linking to Facebook, getting a new header, adding some buttons, etc. and last week our designer surprised us by putting up the new look live. ...

A Sewing Studio Giveaway and an announcement!!!
As some of you may (or may not) know Elizabeth and I are the ladies behind Project Run and Play. But it hasn't always been that way.We competed in Season 2 and loved every second of it---the themes, the sewing, and the other women in the competition. Back then there were no prizes---it was just sewing for the love of sewing. And love it we did. For us it was sewing heaven. So when we had the chance to purchase Project Run and Play we jumped at it and have been having a wonderful time over ... View the Post
Spring Lookbook: 80’s Jumper Restyled (Tutorial)
I had to make one more jumpsuit for the Spring lookbook. Remember this one? Well, I simplified it, took out the front placket and made a 30 minute jumpsuit from a pajama pant pattern. Here's how I did it: 1. Cut out your pajama pants pattern and sew up according to pattern. 2. Measure how tall you want the top to be (leave 2 inches at the top and bottom to form a casing). 3. Measure how wide you need the top (use exact pant pattern). 4. Sew your top to your pajama pants. 5. ... View the Post
