Simplicity The Fashion Magazine for Women Who Sew was a booklet the Simplicity Pattern Company came out with to showcase their latest patterns. The Simplicity Pattern Company had been manufacturing sewing patterns since 1927, giving fashionistas on a budget and sewing aficionados the ability to create clothes in a reliable manner. The booklet featured the latest patterns Simplicity had come up with at the time. It also showed readers what they could do with them and how to play around with them by using fabrics and trims to personalize the fashion must-haves featured in it.

In the spread called "All About Sewing Knits," Shelley wore Simplicity Pattern 9332, a knit-fabric tunic and scooter skirt ensemble. The tunic had a low "U" shaped neckline and was sleeveless. The scooter skirt was without a waistband, had a side zipper, had button trimmed patch pockets, and front and back panels concealing the hot pants underneath. A matching knitted skull cap, colorful bangles and a fancy belt that tied in front with cords finished her look. And Shelley looked every inch like the sporty, fun-loving and free modern miss of the 1970s.
