2022 has been rough. I’ve come face to face with disappointment, loss, grief, and pain. I’ve also experienced joy. And that’s what I’m holding onto. The other stuff will be there. I’ll still be feeling all the feelings. But I’m looking ahead to more joy, nourishment, and freedom in the future. That’s what you see in this picture. I had no idea when I booked a headshot with @phyllis.iller that that this would be the result. I felt seen, like I was stepping into the sunlight, into focus. What a lovely place to be.
There’s a new @cashmerette club pattern out today - the #AvolaDress. I received an early copy and made this cute slip dress out of some mystery fabric in my stash. I love how it turned out. For my next version I’ll do a better job of marking and sewing my darts. That was hard this time because the fabric was so slinky. But that won’t stop me from wearing this!! It’s still cute. @cashmerette_12to32 #CashmeretteClub #CashmerettePatterns #FatSewing #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #SeamsLikeSierra
It's the last day of the 3rd birthday celebration of @munaandbroad and its all about tops. I'm sharing a handful of tops I've made with their patterns. A cream rayon challis #TorrensBoxTop with dogs on it, a pink sandwashed rayon challis #HuonShirt, a pink & green floral cotton lawn #TarawiShirt, an abstract spotted ecovero challis #WaikerieShirt, a red merino jersey #TarleeTshirt, and a navy & red printed cotton #NullarborCami. #FatSewing #MunaAndBroad #MeMade #BlackSewist #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #MillennialSewing #SeamsLikeSierra
It’s lounge day and my favorite thing to lounge in is the @munaandbroad #MedlowRobe. It’s voluminous, beautiful, and luxurious. This fabric is literally called lounging leopard so I took that as a sign lol. It’s an ecovero challis from @blackbirdfabrics. I’d like to make a winter version in something thicker. #MunaAndBroad #FatSewing #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #MeMade #SewVisiblyFat #GaSews #SeamsLikeSierra
Today’s @munaandbroad theme is the dress. This is one of my favorite dresses because it’s pink, short, and comfortable. I lengthened the #TorrensBoxTop into a dress. I used a pink gingham linen from @wearethefabricstore. I have a Melba dress cut in this same fabric but a different colorway. I think I need more gingham in my life. #MunaAndBroad #FatSewing #PlusSizeSewing #MeMade #CurvySewing #GaSews #SeamsLikeSierra
Reaching back in my photo albums for a @munaandbroad outerwear piece. This is the #MalleeJacket in a mustard boiled wool. It came together surprisingly easy and it’s very warm. #MunaAndBroad #SewVisiblyFat #FatSewing #PlusSizeSewing #CurvySewing #MillennialSewing #SeamsLikeSierra
How has it been 3 years already?@munaandbroad patterns, and specifically their #GlebePants changed my wardrobe. I wear these pants at least once a week. Yes, these very bright green pants. They continue to be my favorite pattern from #MunaAndBroad. #FatSewing #PlusSizeSewing #CurvySewing #SeamsLikeSierra
I’m very happy with how these two pieces came out. They’re the #CashmeretteClub patterns for November: the #CarollShrug & the #RockwellDress. I immediately felt fancy when I put them on. The Rockwell dress is made out of a black rayon crepe. I made the Caroll shrug in a rayon voile from my stash and lined it with leftovers from my dress. While both of these are a step outside of my usual style, I think they’ll work well with my current wardrobe. As always, @cashmerette drafting & instructions were on point. #Cashmerette #BFPrints #FabricMartMake #FatSewing #CurvySewing #GaSews #SeamsLikeSierra
My favorite outfit formula is a @cashmerette top and a @munaandbroad pant. They work really well together and make getting dressed easier. Mornings are hard for me and I’m glad I’ve found something to make them better! The #MontroseTop and #WillandraPants are a new favorite combo. #FatSewing #MunaAndBroad #MeMade #CashmerettePatterns #SeamsLikeSierra
Thoroughly enjoyed @nycfrocktails but barely took any pics. Please enjoy these adorable pictures that @jusre took, because she is responsible. It was great to meet online friends in real life and talk about all things sewing. I made a @cashmerette #VernonShirt in a floral cotton poplin I bought from @stylemakerfabrics and paired it with previously made @munaandbroad #GlebePants in viscose twill. My sis @jusre made a #HeatherBlazer by @fridaypatterncompany in Ankara. Swipe through for my true form, confused and cute. #NYCFrocktails #Cashmerette #CashmerettePatterns #MunaAndBroad #FridayPatternCompany #MeMade #FatSewing #PlusSizeSewing
I wrote a blog post about the @cashmerette Wexford dresses I’ve made so far. I even got to include my very cute mama in the version I made for her. It’s safe to say I really like this pattern. #WexfordDress #MeMade #Cashmerette #CashmerettePatterns #CashmeretteClub #FatSewing #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #SeamsLikeSierra
I finished my first #MelbaDress yesterday during the @munaandbroad patreon sewing circle and decided to to take some pics today. I love the volume of this dress. It’s comfortable and chic at the same time. I used a viscose linen noil from @blackbirdfabrics. I’m already thinking about what other colors I want to use for this dress. It’s a winner in my book. #MunaAndBroad #MunaAndBroadPatreon #BlackbirdFabrics #FatSewing #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #MillennialSewing #BFViscoseLinenNoil #SeamsLikeSierra
