Simplicity 9896, released earlier this year, is a weird pattern
Where did the design come from? Is it a knock off of something designer label that I'm completely unfamiliar with? Was it originally intended as a costume/cosplay pattern, but they decided it was too complicated? It seems like something science fiction. It has Pokémon Trainer Style. It's also weirdly Kwik•Sew-esque.
Whatever it is, I was drawn to it, and got it in the last Joann Simplicity sale. I was in the middle of the patchwork cardigan at the time, and then I wanted to sew those two doll kimono, then I decided I would try this pattern.
I very quickly regretted every decision I made on it.
But. It got better.
