bbw.jpgWendy Mullin of Built By Wendy has deconstructed her indie-prep blouses, jeans and skirts into a line of Built by You sewing patterns for Simplicity. "What percentage of girls can go buy the textiles they want for a pair of jeans, cut them out according to the pattern and then just bang them out, pockets and all?" ask the boys at Vice magazine as if they've never seen a mini-skirt fashioned from an old pair of jeans. The real question is what percentage will hike up that skirt and get down to the business of hammering together a pair of matching shoes, hmm?

I've used her patterns and they're easy and very cute. I hope she makes more. I love sewing but all I ever find are shitty soccer mom patterns for aplique vests.
