Independent Sewing Patterns Sew-a-thon

I recently found an interesting topic on SewingPatternsReview board: Latest Independent Pattern Releases (for the record, independent patterns are the ones not produced by the 4 big commercial pattern companies in North America).
The thread was full of information about designers, websites, etc.
Of course, I had to check out all of them!
And the following patterns ended up on my shopping list:

Patterns For Pirates

-Women's Henley : so many options, what a great value of a pattern!
-Yo-Ho Henley
-Women's Raglan with add on
- Peg Legs
-Grandpa Cardi

Stitch Upon A Time 
Scrundlewear and Goldilegs - great pair of stretch jeans/pants with a comfort band
 I already own:
Boxerwear
Kids Boxerwear
(see a pattern)

1 Puddle Lane - this was an entirely new company to me!
Miss Ruby Tuesday Dress - what a versatile pattern with a great number of options for neck, sleeve, length etc.

Peek-a-Boo Patterns
Gloria Dress with skirt options

Here are some of the results so far:

Patterns For Pirates Women's Henley:
Great Pattern, but the cotton lycra knit (medium weight ) I used was a little too heavy.
Will definitely use this pattern again.

Stitch Upon A Time Scrundlewear
Obviously...it's pink...and purple and features Hello Kitty - it's a win/win/win

Peek-a-Boo Patterns Gloria Dress

(modeled by a very reluctant preschooler in a foul mood)
I used the circle skirt add on an added a nylon chiffon ruffle.
Rolled hem and sleeves and fold over elastic at the neck.

Will be making many more of these!

Simplicity!

Not much sewing being done here, excluding alterations and getting everyone's clothes in tip top shape for school, of course.
But that doesn't prevent me from thinking about sewing!
I ordered 8 Simplicity patterns last night
(One of my favorite pattern shopping websites, sewingpatterns.com had an amazing sale).
Here are my faves:

Simplicity 1277
I think this is a very flattering, versatile dress.
It's sized by cup size for a perfect bodice fit.
For woven fabrics.
Wonder what it would look like in lightweight denim with pleather contrast panels?Hmm.

Simplicity 1285

Truthfully, I got this one just for the cute raglan T-shirts.

I love the neckline!

Simplicity 1283

 Love this one! Beautiful pieces, versatile and sized for stretch knits! Double knit, Ponte.

Simplicity 1323

More versatile knit pieces - notice a trend?

 

Simplicity 1325

And this! Love the basic T-Shirt pattern. The cropped jacket is great for spring/early fall.

These are the fun patterns, the rest are simple, ordinary ones. 

Once I match the projects with my fabrics, I will post an update.
