So I learned about the make nine challenge in late 2017 and it seemed pretty cool. I chose nine patterns that I planned to make in 2018 based off the … Continue reading 2019 Make Nine

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and I’ve seen a bunch of cute date night outfits popping up. Well I’m single so this is what I would’ve worn to my virtual date if I had one 😂😂 I made both of these back during pattern testing. The top is a #PSByrdieButtonUp by @patternscout and the dress is a #HinterlandDress by @sewliberated. #FatSewing #PlusSizeSewing #CSC #CurvySewing #MillennialSewing #GASews #GeorgiaSews #AtlSews #AtlantaSewing #FatSewingClub #CurvySewingCollective #MeMade #SewMySize #CSCMakes #MMOOTD #PlusSizeSewingBlogger #SewingBlogger #SeamsLikeSierra

I wanted to share my very own #TarleeTshirt from @munaandbroad. I was given an advanced copy to sew. This is a size G graded to H at the bust with the turtleneck option. I made it in a yummy scarlet merino jersey gifted by @aandrfabrics. Why didn’t y’all tell me that merino was this amazing? Or maybe y’all told me and I wasn’t listening lol. But I really enjoyed making this t-shirt. The directions are clear and I greatly appreciate the notches at the neckline. I have some more pictures up on the blog! There’s a link in my bio. #MunaAndBroad #AAndRFabrics #FatSewing #MeMade #CSCMakes #CurvySewing #GaSews #PlusSizeSewing #FatSewingClub #PatternRelease #GeorgiaSews #ISew #AtlantaSews #SewMySize #AtlSews #MillennialSewing #IndieSewing #BlackSewist #SeamsLikeSierra

I decided to dust off my blog and start posting about things I’ve made but not fully shared. I started with this cute @seamwork Rhett jacket I made in April. As you can see it pairs well several items in my closet. You can read more about my process over on the blog. I put a link in my bio. #SeamworkMag #SeamworkRhett #FatSewing #CurvySewing #SeamworkPatterns #FatSewingClub #PlusSizeSewing #CashmerettePatterns #GlebePants #SculthorpePants #SeamworkLyle #MontroseTop #ConcordTshirt #WebsterDress #MunaAndBroad #MeMade #GaSews #GeorgiaSews #HartsFabric #MillennialSewing #MeMadeEveryday #SeamworkAmbassador #WhatFatGirlsActuallyWear #CurvySewingCollective #AtlSews #SeamsLikeSierra

Did I make a neon blazer? I absolutely did. I had leftover fabric from my Glebe pants that I used for my test version of the Heather Blazer from @fridaypatterncompany. I used some @rubystarsociety cotton for the lining because I wanted the inside to be just as bold as the outside. I made a 4X based on my 54” bust. I’ll try the 3X next time and see which I prefer! This pattern goes up to 7X (60” bust, 53” waist, 63” hips). It came together easier than expected, but did take some time. I paired it with my pink @cashmerette #SaybrookTank and royal blue @munaandbroad #WillandraPants for a full on color moment. #FatSewing #HeatherBlazer #PlusSizeSewing #FridayPatternCompany #CSCMakes #CurvySewing #FatSewingClub #CurvySewingCollective #GaSews #PatternTesting #PatternRelease #GeorgiaSews #AtlSews #MillennialSewing #SeamsLikeSierra

It’s my birthday! I’m celebrating with rest, delicious food, and eventually an ice cream cake. I chose this picture taken by the lovely @shotwellrva because it embodies my current mood. I made my button up - it’s a #WaikerieShirt from @munaandbroad in a mustard linen & rayon blend. Underneath that I have my @alicealexanderco Cass dress. Here’s to random dance parties everywhere you go!! #FatSewing #PlusSizeSewing #CurvySewing #MunaAndBroad #AliceAlexanderco #FatSewingClub #GeorgiaSews #GaSews #AtlSews #SeamsLikeSierra

One of the biggest reasons I applied for #TMCollaBRAtory last year was because I wanted to make a bra. Ying from @tailormadeshop sent me an underwire bra kit (in moody roses lingerie satin black) and I finally built up the courage to cut into the fabric. This is my first underwire bra. I made it. Can you believe it?! I used the Lamina bra from @lilypadesigns. Overall I’m pretty proud of this make and I’m looking forward to getting the fit just right. I think I’ll stick to kits moving forward because it has everything you need except for underwires. I’m still learning what each notion is, but I see a lot more bras in my future. #CSC #FatSewing #PlusSizeSewing #CurvySewing #LingerieSewing #LingerieSewingPattern #ISew #MeMade #LaminaPattern #GaSews #AtlSews #BlackSewist #MillennialSewing #SewMySize #SeamsLikeSierra

The January issue of @seamwork included a super cute new pattern, the #SeamworkTino. I made this version out of an animal print athletic knit from @stylemakerfabrics. My favorite feature is the side pocket because it actually fits my phone! I legit wore these for 3 days after I made them. Next time I’ll stretch the elastic tighter at the waistband to make them feel a bit more secure. I’ve got another pair already cut out! I paired it with my acid lime cropped @chalkandnotch #PageHoodie in bamboo terry from @stonemountainfabric. It’s a comfy combo I’ll have to recreate. #SeamworkMag #FatSewing #SeamworkAmbassdor #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #FatSewingClub #CurvySewingCollective #SewMySize #CSCMakes #PlusSizeSewingBlogger #SewingBlogger #GaSews #MeMade #GeorgiaSews #AtlSews #BlackSewist #AtlantaSewing #MillennialSewing #SeamsLikeSierra

The @cashmerette #UptonDress mega-pattern was released yesterday and I was given an early copy to make my own version. My birthday is in a little over a week so I decided to make a birthday dress! Blue is my favorite color but I don’t have a lot of it in my closet. I used some lightweight cotton from @fabricmart that was deep in my stash because I love a good abstract print. I didn’t attempt pattern matching at all and I think it worked out pretty well. I made a 24 G/H and used the short fitted sleeves, v neck, princess seams, and knee length gored skirt. I love this dress. #CashmerettePatterns#Cashmerette #PatternRelease #FatSewing #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #FatSewingClub #CSCMakes #AtlSews #CurvySewingCollective #SewMySize #PlusSizeSewingBlogger #GaSews #SewingBlogger #GeorgiaSews #AtlantaSewing #SeamsLikeSierra

I made these see through mesh undies the other day and had no idea how I’d share them with the world. I tried taking pics of them on a table, but it really wasn’t working. Then I decided to just put them on. And I am so happy I did. This was a project for #TMCollaBRAtory and this fold over elastic is NICE. Like the nicest I’ve used in a while. The mesh is super soft too. A year ago I wouldn’t have sewn see through undies or posted pics of them on the internet. But I am. Talk about stepping outside of my comfort zone! Thank you @tailormadeshop for high quality lingerie supplies and thank you @munaandbroad for a high waisted undies pattern that is officially my favorite. #MunaAndBroad #CSCMakes #TailorMadeShop #KapundaUndies #FatSewing #PlusSizeSewing #CurvySewing #FatSewingClub #SewingLingerie #MillennialSewing #GASews #GeorgiaSews #ATLSews #VeryFatVeryBrave #BlackSewist #BlackWomenStitch #MeMade #SeamsLikeSierra

Last week I was in the mood fit a textured outfit so I pulled out two of my faves. This is a black crushed velvet #SeamworkAce from @seamwork and a burnt orange corduroy pair of #GlebePants from @munaandbroad. I added the leopard print shoes because it made me happy. This feels like a peak holiday outfit. I think I need to recreate it with more fabric. #SeamworkMag #MunaAndBroad #SeamworkAmbassador #FatSewing #FatSewingClub #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #CSCMakes #GASews #GeorgiaSews #AtlSews #MillennialSewing #SeamsLikeSierra

It’s pattern release day for @halfmoonatelier! I tested the #Halfmoon101Jeans and I’m pretty proud of the final product. This pattern goes up to a 56.75” waist and 67” hip. It’s designed for non-stretch denim. I made the size 13 without any adjustments. The final pattern has a slighter higher rise in the back. I enjoyed making these and I am super grateful to Meghann for listening to tester feedback and incorporating it into the final pattern. #HalfmoonAtelier #PatternRelease #SewingPattern #FatSewing #CSC #MeMade #PlusSizeSewing #GASews #FatSewingClub #CurvySewing #CSCMakes #MillennialSewing #AtlSews #AtlSewing #SeamsLikeSierra

It’s the last day of @munaandbroad ‘s celebration and I’m sharing a bunch of my Muna & Broad outfits. There are 6 of their patterns here. I think it’s safe to say that I’m a fan! #MunaAndBroad #MalleeJacket #GlebePants #HuonShirt #NullarborCami #WillandraPants #TorrensBoxTop #FatSewing #FatSewingClub #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #SewMySize #GeorgiaSews #GASews #AtlantaSews #ATLSews #MeMade #MillennialSewing #SeamsLikeSierra
