Style Maker Fabrics Spring Style Tour

Hey y’all!! It’s spring. I’ve been walking around smiling because the flowers are blooming and the mornings aren’t too chilly. I love this time of year because it feels like … Continue reading Style Maker Fabrics Spring Style Tour

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.

This is my very cute @munaandbroad #TarawiShirt fresh off the machine. I bought this pattern as soon as it was released to their Patreon subscribers. I absolutely love it. I wore it all day today and even took a nap in it. This is a size H with no adjustments in a cotton lawn from @blackbirdfabrics. I wrote a short blog post and put the link in my bio. #MunaAndBroad #MunaAndBroadPatreon #BFPrints #BlackbirdFabrics #SewVisiblyFat #MunaAndBroadMaker #SewMySize #MunaAndBroadInsider #FatSewing #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #FatSewingClub #MillennialSewing #SeamsLikeSierra

Finally finished my @munaandbroad #BanksiaSwimsuit. I started this a while ago and was slowed down a bit after injuring my wrist. This super cute floral swim fabric is from @tailormadeshop and was given to me as a part of last year’s #TMCollaBRAtory. I really love this print and this pattern. I’ve wanted a fun, comfortable, and bright swimsuit for a long time. I made the bottoms in a G, I think? I should take better notes. For the top - I used the H for the back & I for the front. Next time I’ll use tighter elastic and slight raise the bottoms. But this is truly the most supportive and comfy bathing suit I’ve made or worn. I will absolutely use power mesh in my bathing suit tops moving forward. #MunaAndBroad #TailorMadeShop #MunaAndBroadPatreon #MeMade #FatSewing #FatSewingClub #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #MillennialSewing #SewVisiblyFat #Braugust2021 #SeamsLikeSierra

If I have to get dental work done, I’d like to be comfy. I made this #SeamworkBo when I lived in MA, and it’s still going strong 2 years later. I paired it with my linen #BirchgrovePants. I’m wondering if I accidentally cut these off grain or if it’s my hyperextended legs. I don’t know if it’s worth figuring out an adjustment because I love them and wear them a lot as they are. Please enjoy my attempt at posing without a smile because my mouth was still numb. #FatSewing #MunaAndBroad #SeamworkMag #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #GeorgiaSews #GaSews #MeMadeOnRepeat #BlackMaker #MillennialSewing #SeamsLikeSierra

I wrote a blog post about my 3 versions of the Cashmerette Upton. You’ve probably already seen all 3 of them but I wanted to share them again. I made a size 24 in all of them. I tried the knee, tea, and maxi lengths. I can’t choose a favorite because they are all so very Sierra. There’s a link to the blog post in my bio. @cashmerette @cashmerette_12to32 #Cashmerette #CashmerettePatterns #UptonSkirt #UptonDress #FatSewing #GaSews #FatSewingClub #CurvySewing #SeamsLikeSierra

Me Made May Day 15. Today’s song is Save Room by John Legend. It has a retro feel and felt like the vibe for a nice Saturday. I needed to be comfy so I wore my linen @munaandbroad Birchgrove pants and @seamwork Willis top. I’d like to recreate this look over and over again. #MMMayFat #MMMay #MMMayFat2021 #MMMay2021 #MeMadeMayFat #GaSews #FatSewing #MMMayPlus #MeMade #SeamworkMag #SeamworkWillis #MunaAndBroad #BirchgrovePants #FatSewingClub #SewMySize #CurvySewing #CSCMakes #BlackSewist #BlackMaker #PlusSizeSewing #MillennialSewing #SewVisiblyFat #GeorgiaSews #CurvySewingCollective #SeamsLikeSierra

Me Made May Day 14. Today’s song is ALREADY by Beyoncé, Shatta Wale & Major Lazer. It’s an instant pick me up. I like to put it on when I need that Beyoncé energy. My sister @jusre and I wore an Ankara print in different colorways. She is wearing her Ankara @cashmerette Calder pants, RTW tee, and @helens__closet Blackwood cardigan. I’m wearing my tester version of the Cashmerette pleated Upton skirt, Cashmerette Saybrook tank, and @seamwork Rhett jacket. Swipe for some outtakes - or just my progression while taking pics with a full stomach. #MMMayFat #MMMay #MMMayFat2021 #MMMay2021 #MeMadeMayFat #GaSews #FatSewing #MMMayPlus #MeMade #Cashmerette #SaybrookTank #CashmerettePatterns #UptonSkirt #CalderPants #HelensCloset #BlackwoodCardigan #SeamworkRhett #SeamworkMag #FatSewingClub #SewMySize #CurvySewing #CSCMakes #BlackSewist #BlackMaker #PlusSizeSewing #MillennialSewing #SewVisiblyFat #GeorgiaSews #CurvySewingCollective #SeamsLikeSierra

Me Made May Day 11. Today’s song is Colors by Black Pumas. I could play this song on repeat for a while. I also tend to sing along a little too hard to it lol. I’ve decided that neon green is one of my favorite colors. I want to wear it all the time. These are my favorite pair of Glebe pants by @munaandbroad in a linen blend. I paired it with a @seamwork Marlow I made with the new cotton lawn from @spoonflower. This fabric was given to me in exchange for pictures of the final garment. I feel like this outfit is peak summertime freedom. It’s comfy, bright, and I refuse to iron it. #MMMayFat #MMMay #MMMayFat2021 #MMMay2021 #MeMadeMayFat #GaSews #FatSewing #MMMayPlus #MunaAndBroad #MeMade #MunaAndBroadPatreon #GlebePants #Spoonflower #SpoonflowerFabric #SeamworkMag #SeamworkMarlow #FatSewingClub #SewMySize #CurvySewing #CSCMakes #BlackSewist #BlackMaker #PlusSizeSewing #MillennialSewing #SewVisiblyFat #CurvySewingCollective #SeamsLikeSierra

Me Made May Day 9. Today’s song - Isn’t She Lovely by Stevie Wonder. It’s a special day for a lot of reasons. I got to spend time with my family and help my dad build a raised garden bed. All of us are wearing me mades today. My mom is wearing a @munaandbroad Tarlee t shirt in @blackbirdfabrics jersey. My sister @jusre is wearing a lengthened Muna & Broad Torrens box top in a Blackbird print. I’m wearing a @cashmerette Saybrook tank and Muna & Broad Birchgrove pants. I told everyone to touch their hair for the 2nd picture. #MMMayFat #MMMay #MMMayFat2021 #MMMay2021 #MeMadeMayFat #GaSews #FatSewing #MMMayPlus #MunaAndBroad #MeMade #BirchgrovePants #MunaAndBroadPatreon #Cashmerette #SaybrookTank #CashmerettePatterns #TorrensBoxTop #BlackbirdFabrics #FatSewingClub #SewMySize #CurvySewing #CSCMakes #BlackSewist #BlackMaker #PlusSizeSewing #MillennialSewing #SewVisiblyFat #CurvySewingCollective #SeamsLikeSierra

Me Made May Day 8. “You might be the main thing baby.” Today’s song is Main Thing by Ariana Grande. I chose this outfit because @munaandbroad really is my main thing lol. I can always count on a Muna & Broad pattern to work. I often don’t make a toile with these patterns because I know I’ll wear it no matter what. All of the M&B patterns work together really well. This is a gathered sleeve Torrens box top with beetroot viscose twill Glebe pants. This is one of my favorite me made outfits. #MMMayFat #MMMay #MMMayFat2021 #MMMay2021 #MeMadeMayFat #GaSews #FatSewing #MMMayPlus #MunaAndBroad #MeMade #MunaAndBroadPatreon #GlebePants #TorrensBoxTop #BlackbirdFabrics #FatSewingClub #SewMySize #CurvySewing #CSCMakes #BlackSewist #BlackMaker #PlusSizeSewing #MillennialSewing #SewVisiblyFat #SeamsLikeSierra #CurvySewingCollective

Me Made May Day 8. Today’s song is Wrap Me Up In Your Love by John Legend. It’s one of my favorite songs from his Christmas album. I can picture myself singing this song with hot chocolate and a cozy robe. Today was a slow and stormy day, colder than I expected. So I put on a super comfy (and warm) outfit. This is my tester @closetcorepatterns Mile End sweatshirt and my @seamwork Mel joggers both in french terry from @lafinchfabrics. I’m excited to have some large format sewing patterns to cut out this weekend. #MMMayFat #MMMayFat2021 #MMMay #MMMay2021 #MeMadeMayFat #GaSews #FatSewing #MMMayPlus #SeamworkMel #SeamworkMag #MileEndSweatshirt #FatSewingClub #ClosetCorePatterns #MeMade #SewMySize #CurvySewing #CSCMakes #MillennialSewing #BlackSewist #BlackMaker #MeMade #SewVisiblyFat #MeMadeMay #CurvySewingCollective #SeamsLikeSierra
