@Cole: dang. I was hoping it would be easy to find. I know one of the lines has "vintage" patterns and I found some cute vintage romper patterns in the past. maybe it was McCalls?

Here's the simplicity pattern. http://www.simplicity.com/simplicity-pattern-8099-toddlers-romper-and-button-on-skirt/8099.html#start=28

This is so stinkin cute.

@Cole: And here's a cheaper pattern that is similar without the ruffled straps. Less that $5 isn't bad! http://www.simplicity.com/new-look-pattern-6385-babies-dress-romper-and-panties/6385.html#sz=90&start=49

@avivoca: yeah, there are no good pattern/fabric shops near me unless I go into Manhattan (not doing that with two kids just for fabric). But I commute to work out in the suburbs and I can make a detour to hit a Joann's out here. I want to preplan some summer patterns so I can wait for one of their big pattern sales--I've seen sales there where you can get Simplicity patterns for $1.99.

@MrsBrewer: it's weird...on the Joann website under the "weekly add" or if you click on the Presidents Day Doorbusters banner, it shows the Simplicity 5 for $5 patterns sale, and then it has a "shop now" button, but when I press the button, there's no way no add the deal!

That sucks.

I stopped in after work and picked up 5 random patterns. I don't even really sew so I was hoping to convince my mom to help me make 1 set of matching summer dresses. But now that I have 5 cute patterns, I'm thinking of maybe attempting a few on my own.

@MrsBrewer: they did! They had a sign out on the patterns, actually. I did find out that it's only for "regular" simplicity patterns, not the "sew easy" or the "burdick" (spelling?) Simplicity patterns, but I did pick up 5 for $5. Sale is through Monday or Tuesday, so you still have time.

All their other patterns were 40% off too, so that's not bad. But you really can't beat 5 for $5, considering patterns are normally in the $8-10 range.
