New Simplicity Patterns Sew Simple
aliann1   Intermediate CO USA Member since 12/8/07 Posts: 230	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/5/11 10:04 PM So I was at Walmart tonight and saw some new Simplicity patterns I had never seen before in the fabric department. They are called Sew Simple and were 97 cents each. I picked up a pattern for a top and a cardiwrap. I really didn't need the patterns, but they looked interesting and I wanted to check them out. They seem like they would be great for beginner sewists. I wasn't able to find them on the Simplicity website, but hopefully they'll show up soon there.

I'm over 100, and it's only JULY? Ugh!) Yards out: 88.75

I took a picture of them--sorry...first time I've uploaded a picture to PR and I don't yet know how to make the picture smaller: -- Edited on 7/6/11 0:03 AM --

Member since 12/31/69	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/6/11 1:54 AM At a recent Australian Sewing Guild (ASG) Industry Day that was held at the warehouse of Simplicity (Sydney), we heard all about these patterns. If memory serves me, Simplicity is bringing out a range that has only one garment per envelope, is simple to sew, minimum fit issues and a competitive price. They are actively seeking sewers who are novice, juvenile (ie age wise), and those who love sewing but do not have enough time. I'm sure other ASG members who attended the industry day may be able to give more information, or correct my faulty memory.

Love the price even more. I'll have to go check our Wal-mart that has reinstated it's Fabric Department. I haven't had a chance to get there since I heard it was back. Maybe they are sending them to markets like Wal-mart...maybe even Hobby Lobby. Anyone been to their Hobby Lobby lately? I might just make this my "mission" of the day.

EleanorSews   Advanced MI USA Member since 7/26/07 Posts: 3755 Board Moderator	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/6/11 10:26 AM When I googled Sew Simple, this is what I found. Sew Simple website I'm wondering if someone didn't do her/his homework and maybe there is a name issue. ------ "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."

This particular Walmart has retained a tiny fabric area and these patterns were displayed vertically -- similar to a magazine display.
