Hi everyone! I am Elizabeth, one half of the duo of sisters-in-law who blog at Simple Simon and Company. We love all things that revolve around sewing for our children and are constantly striving for the art of homemaking....all while trying to stay sane. We really love simple sewing projects that are not only quick but that are also beautiful and luckily today's project completely fits that theme. These zipper bags are simple, but make great gifts and I am warning you---once you make ... View the Post
An Arrow Quilt for a Boy’s Room
This quilt was one that I finished up before we moved, but I never did get a picture of or post about. Well, I finally found the box with this beauty inside and took it right outside to get a picture of it (this is my backyard view for right now.....which I love, I will be a bit sad when it is another subdivision in a couple of years). ...

A free sundress pattern. In Orange.
I am sewing up a few summer things and this sundress is one of the favorite things that I have ever made. I drafted the free pattern last year and it goes from a girls size 3 to a girls size 8. I sewed up the size 6 last year for Hannie and I sewed up the size 8 this year. It is a bit big but I would rather go with a bit big so she can wear it all summer long. ... View the Post

Quilt-as-you-go Tote Bag
Last week I pulled out some scrap fabrics to start a new quilt...but then decided to start a new project (I feel like I have crafting ADD sometimes) and make up a tote bag for summer instead. The quilt is still cut and waiting for me, but I am waiting for a 50% off coupon so that I can get a whole bolt of Kona white for the sashings (I am a cheapskate....I know.) But I do love this bag. It is BIG (great for summer) and it was an afternoon project. I used the quilt-as-you-go method that I ... View the Post
Summer Sewing
I have a girlie who has outgrown much of her summer wardrobe. We actually went shopping a few weeks ago to find some staples, as in shorts and a few shirts, but came home mostly empty-handed....because either the waists fit and they were too shorty-mc-shorty or the length fit but she cant keep them up. Soooo....I guess that means I need to get busy and sew up a few things for summer. This dress I actually sewed up a couple of months ago, and found again when unpacking summer things. So, we ...
