Built by Wendy is a line of fun, whimsical and very unique clothing for men, women and children. For example. I just saw a dress in her online store featuring giant penguins around the hemline of a shiny dress.The creativity behind the designs come from Wendy Mullin, who learned to sew at a very young age while growing up ip Chicago. She now designs and runs her own stores in New York (2) and Los Angeles (1).

If Wendy's designs inspire you, now you can make them yourself. The designer has teamed up with Simplicity and is offering some of her patterns so that Built by Wendy is Built by You! I am particularly fond of the coat and jacket, and though I am not in love with the fabrics that are shown, the patterns are a great place to start for great lines and shapes. Once I dust off my old Singer, I just might have a new winter jacket!

Built by You patterns are available from the Built by Wendy website and run around $15 each.
