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.

My M&B special project is centered around two patterns I’ve really wanted to pair together: the #NoiceJeans and #WaikerieShirt. I bought these fabrics from @blackbirdfabrics specifically for these patterns. I even prewashed the denim lol. I sketched out my plan with my croquis from @mybodymodel and I felt like it really came together once I could actually see it. The only thing left to do is actually sew it! I think planning projects, buying materials, and sewing garments are 3 separate hobbies. @munaandbroad #MunaAndBroad #FatSewing #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #MyBodyModel #SewMySize #SeamsLikeSierra

It was hard to narrow down a @munaandbroad outfit with 2 patterns, but I went with a summer combo that’s comfy & cute. A #NullarborCami and #WillandraPants combo feels fancy but breezy at the same time. I’m surprised that I haven’t made more willandra pants. Maybe I’ll add that to my list again. #MunaAndBroad #FatSewing #IndieSewingPatterns #CurvySewing #GeorgiaSews #AtlantaSews #SewVisiblyFat #MunaAndBroadPatreon #SewingBlogger #SeamsLikeSierra

Can you guess my tried & true @munaandbroad pattern? It’s the #GlebePants. No surprise here. I’ve made 5 pairs and used both views of this pattern. I’ll never stop making them. They are comfy and can work in pretty much all situations. #FatSewing #MunaAndBroad #SeamsLikeSierra

It’s @munaandbroad’s 2nd birthday and I’m sharing my first M&B make. I made these lime green #GlebePants a little more than 2 years ago for Atlanta Frocktails. I’m happy to report that these pants are still very much in rotation and will be for a long time. #MunaAndBroad #FatSewing #AtlSews #GeorgiaSews #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #FatSewingClub #SewVisiblyFat #SewMySize #SeamsLikeSierra

Happy Sunday! The @cashmerette #HarrisonShirt was re-released last week with additional sizes and an improved fit. This is my tester version in a hot pink cotton (maybe quilting cotton? not sure) paired with my favorite @munaandbroad #GlebePants. I used the 26 G/H and standard bicep sleeve. This pattern goes up to a 62” bust, 52” waist, 62” hip, and 23 1/8” bicep. I’ll post some more pics in my stories and add a link to my blogpost. I’m always happy to add more hot pink to my wardrobe, so this is making me very happy right now. #FatSewing #CashmerettePatterns #GaSews #CurvySewing #GeorgiaSews #SewMySize #SewVisiblyFat #MillennialSewing #SeamsLikeSierra

The awesome people at @klumhouse gifted me a full maker kit for their newest bag, the Naito. I’m trying to capture more of the actual making process. Here’s a tiny little bit of it. By the way, my water break turned into an entire week’s break. I’ll be back to making this weekend. #YayNaito #KlumHouse #SeamsLikeSierra

This feels like luxury. I made a @munaandbroad #MedlowRobe and immediately felt fancy. I’ve never been able to buy a full coverage robe, much less one in a funky print like this. I bought this fabric (ecovero challis) from @blackbirdfabrics specifically for this project and I’m very happy about how it turned out. I used size G based on my waist and hip measurements. If you need me, I’ll be twirling around in this robe until further notice. *Edited to correct the size I made. Originally said size F.*

I’m back with more volume. I made this dress using the @cashmerette #SpringfieldTop as a base. I used view A, removed the yoke from the back, and added a gathered skirt with elastic at the waistline. I like this dress because it’s very comfortable, it has pockets, and it’s really great for hot weather. I used a Brussels washer linen from the lovely @pdxsewingstudio. I like the colors that they offer. I’ve got two other colors of the same fabric, so I might make a variation of this dress in the near future. #Cashmerette #FatSewing #CashmerettePatterns #GaSews #SpringfieldTopHack #MeMade #YouCanHackIt #FatSewingClub #PDXSewingStudio #SeamsLikeSierra

I love wearing voluminous things. I haven’t always known that, but I do now. Sewing, and specifically @munaandbroad patterns helped me realize it. I make what I want and it is freeing. I’ve been thinking a lot about style, body size, comfort, fashion, and cultural representation through clothing. Maybe I’ll share more about that later. For now, I present to you my M&B #TorrensBoxTop lengthened by 13 inches. I did a narrow hem to preserve the length of the dress. I might eventually add pockets, but I’m wearing it today as is. I used the vintage blush linen gingham from @wearethefabricstore. I will be wearing this as long as I can. Temperatures are still in the 80s so I’ve got some time. Here’s to Fake Fall! #MunaAndBroad #SewMySize #MunaAndBroadPatreon #YouCanHackIt #SewMySize #FatSewing #FatSewingClub #PlusSizeSewing #CurvySewing #SewVisiblyFat #MeMade #CurvySewingCollective #CSCMakes #GeorgiaSews #TFSGinghamLinen #TheFabricStore #MillennialSewing #TorrensBoxTopHack #TorrensBoxDress #SeamsLikeSierra
