More vintage inspiration......

I spend hours researching fashion history for inspiration.....it never ceases to amaze me the lovely examples of fine workmanship that I continue to discover.  I have such admiration for the hands that fashioned these lovely pieces, most of which must have been made entirely by hand.  I remember my Fashion History classes and my amazing instructor, Dr. Frank.  She saw to it that we understood the evolution of fashions.....not just for their aesthetic interest, but also for their necessity....the reasons for the styles of the time and the materials that were available during the period.  In this day and age...

Learning from those who came before me....

I learned so much as a young girl from observing the work of my mother and both grandmothers...I was fortunate to be surrounded by creativity during those formative years.  Watching and learning through those years to think outside the box and to make the most of what I had to work with....such was the foundation of the Simple Pleasures of today. #learnandgrow #preciousmemories #fashiondesigner #seamstress #olderandwiser Never forget your humble beginnings and always do your best with what you have to work with.  To this day,  I still have this reminder taped on one of my sewing machines....

Blush Sand is such a soft, feminine color!

3/4 length sleeve 3/4 sleeve american cotton american made artisan made sleepwear blush blush sand classic style cotton knit cotton knit gown cotton knit loungewear cotton knit nightgown cotton knit pajamas cotton knit sleepwear cotton knits long sleeve neutrals round neckline short sleeve smokey neutrals textured cotton knits

Blush Sand is such a soft, feminine color!

I developed this color with the goal being a soft neutral that would be both flattering, and also serve a color to mis and match with my other Smokey Neutrals, thus helping to build a wardrobe of pieces to extend your sleepwear & loungewear wardrobe.  It has been a success and the popularity continues to grow.  Offered now in Waffle, Dot, Shadow Stripe, Check and Interlocks.  They are all wonderful, so the choice can be difficult!!! My inspiration as always was taken from what is around me everyday,  It might be some dried rose petals, a basket of vintage lace,...

Spring is around the corner!

Hi everyone!  I have been really behind on my blog posts lately....but only because I have been working on SO MANY new introductions for Simple Pleasures!  I have been taking new photos almost every day to put on the website.  This is my "Photography Studio" which actually was intended as a formal dining room, but has served me especially well for photos.  The afternoon sun is always perfect for highlighting our amazing fabrics.  I hope you will stay in touch and check our website often for all that is new.  I have SO much in store for this year and...
