Just in case you didn't see my Facebook post, Simplicity #1061 (AKA "Pongo") is now available in stores and online in the Simplicity Fall Catalog! Here in Oregon you can also get it at JoAnn and Hobby Lobby.

As you select your fabric and notions, please keep in mind that just as clothing manufacturers often use different calculations to come up with their sizing charts, so do pattern makers. If you are used to choosing your size based on my size chart, be aware that Simplicity sizing does not equal Sew Chic sizing!

Sew Along with Me
If you read my previous post on the evolution of this pattern you'll remember that I promised a Sew Along. I know you want this fun summer combo! And my intention for creating the Sew Along is to encourage you to start and finish it! Sign up, and starting July 13th you'll get a weekly Sew Along delivered to your inbox.
I'd also really like to see what fabric you choose and how it turns out! So send me a picture when you are done!
Thanks for all your support and comments about my new pattern release.
Have a great sewing day,
Laura
