I just shared a blog post about my first #CashmeretteClub make - the #KimballBomberJacket. You’ve seen this jacket already because it’s cute and I wore it last weekend. @cashmerette is always a winner for me. Main fabric is cotton/polyester twill from @fabricmart, ribbing is cotton fine ribbing in melon from @stylemakerfabrics, and zippers are from @wawaksewing. #MeMadeMay #MeMadeMayFat #MMMay #MMMayFat #Cashmerette #CashmerettePatterns #FatSewing #SeamsLikeSierra
It’s a #MunaAndBroadOutfit for Me Made May day 10. I made these Glebe pants a few years ago and have managed to spill so many things on them since then. My Waikerie shirt is more recent and is a floaty dream. I really like both of these @munaandbroad patterns and hope I can work with them again in the near future. #MunaAndBroad #MeMadeMay #MeMadeMayFat #GlebePants #WaikerieShirt #SeamsLikeSierra
Me Made May - Weekend Edition. It’s a bit cooler outside so I grabbed my @cashmerette #KimballBomberJacket that I made recently. I’ll share more photos later. I’m happy I had a lightweight layer for today’s wind and the colors are super cute too. #MeMadeMay #MeMadeMayFat #MMMay #MMMayFat #Cashmerette #CashmerettePatterns #SeamsLikeSierra
Todays Me Made May outfit was inspired by the combination of very hot weather and a chilly office. It also feels very much like I’m in a Dirty Dancing remake. I’m wearing all @cashmerette today - a peachy #FullerCardigan and #SpringfieldTop with a gathered skirt. #Cashmerette #CashmerettePatterns #MeMadeMay #MeMadeMayFat #MMMayFat #SeamsLikeSierra
Todays Me Made May outfit is brought to you by a delightfully bright dress I made for DC Frocktails in early 2020. I honestly haven’t worn it since that event, and I don’t know why. It’s very cute and very comfy. This is a lengthened Montrose top from @cashmerette in Ankara. I’d like to try it in additional prints, colors, and drapey fabric. I’ll also add pockets next time. #Cashmerette #GaSews #CashmerettePatterns #MontroseTop #YouCanHackIt #MeMadeMay #MMMay #MMMayFat #FatSewing #MeMadeMayFat #MeMadeMay2022 #MeMadeMayPlus #CurvySewing #SewMySize #PlusSizeSewing #FatSewingClub #BlackSewist #CurvySewingCollective #MeMade #MillennialSewing #SeamsLikeSierra
Today has been mostly about rest and sewing. I’ve set these beautiful fabrics aside to make the @cashmerette #MontroseTop. Each of these prints feels fun, so I’m rolling with it. Happy first day of Me Made May y’all! #Cashmerette #CashmerettePatterns #MMMayPlus #MeMadeMay #MeMadeMayFat #MMMay2022 #MMMayFat
I just really liked my outfit and wanted to share. I’m wearing a @cashmerette #ChiltonTrench I made a few years ago paired with my trusty corduroy @munaandbroad #GlebePants and @alicealexanderco Barry mock neck top. I’m very into these floral @vans I bought recently. I’m convinced that florals are a neutral at this point. #Cashmerette #MeMadeOnRepeat #FatSewing #AliceAlexanderCo #MunaAndBroad #FatSewingClub #PlusSizeSewing #CurvySewing #MillennialSewing #SeamsLikeSierra
I finished the #WaikerieShirt of my dreams. I’ve had plans for this @munaandbroad pattern for ages but haven’t followed through. I bought this remnant from @stylemakerfabrics for my birthday. It’s a rayon twill shirting and I love how drapey and swishy it is. I made view B with short sleeves in size H. I used the rounded collar from Patreon.This is truly one of my favorite makes to date and I look forward to trying a curved shirt hem next time. #MunaAndBroad #SewMySize #MunaAndBroadPatreon #FatSewing #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #FatSewingClub #MillennialSewing #CurvySewingCollective #BlackSewist #SeamsLikeSierra
Today is my birthday! I’m feeling incredibly grateful for a touching video from my family, a little bit of sunshine, and a very cuddly dog. Everybody has been going through a LOT so I’m enjoying all the little joys I can find.
I’m excited to share my tester version of the @munaandbroad #HexhamDress. This is the cocoon view with a crew neck and long sleeves. I made it in size H. I love it and wear it every chance I get, including to bed lol. I bought this fabric (double brushed poly) from @lafinchfabrics_new and love how it works with this pattern. I’ve got a blog post with a few extra pics. #MunaAndBroad #FatSewingClub #FatSewing #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #CSCMakes #GeorgiaSews #BlackSewist #SeamsLikeSierra
Today’s @munaandbroad prompt is about your dream M&B project. This #MedlowRobe is one of my favorite makes to date. I’ve been wanting a luxurious robe for a while now, and I’m so excited that I was able to make one. I really like this pattern because I never have to worry about any accidental exposure. I always appreciate the care that M&B takes with pattern design and function. I’ll have to make a winter version in a warmer fabric, maybe a flannel. Thank you #MunaAndBroad for a great pattern and happy 2nd birthday!! #FatSewing #SewMySize #BlackbirdFabrics #FatSewingClub #GeorgiaSews #SeamsLikeSierra
Today’s @munaandbroad prompt is about dressing for an occasion. I’m borrowing @fat.bobbin.girl’s occasion: Ignoring you on Valentine’s Day. I laughed so hard when I read that because I could totally see it. I’d wear this outfit out to a solo dinner and be completely unbothered. My clothes bring the romance. I’m wearing a #HuonShirt & #GlebePants.
