Me Made May day 25. I stepped outside to enjoy a little bit of sun. I’m trying to find little moments of joy whenever I can. I’m wearing a lengthened #TorrensBoxTop from @munaandbroad in a pink gingham linen from @wearethefabricstore. #MunaAndBroad #FatSewing #PlusSizeSewing#MeMadeMay #MeMadeMayFat #SeamsLikeSierra
Slipping into day 9 of Me Made May with an outfit that’s comfy, fancy, and not sweaty. I’ve previously shared this @munaandbroad #LobethalShirt in a marble print viscose poplin. I paired it with my lavender @yitty shorts. Swipe to see an alternate pic with the real star of the show, my sweet dog. #MeMadeMay #FatSewing #MeMadeMayFat #MeMade #MeMadeMayFat2023 #MunaAndBroad #BFPrints #BlackBirdFabrics #BlackWomenStitch #YittyIRL #SeamsLikeSierra
For the second day of #MeMadeMay I am sharing an almost finished @munaandbroad #LobethalShirt. I’ve been slowly working on it and only have buttons and buttonholes left. I remembered to add my M&B tag and a cute “hang to dry” label from @sarahhearts. I used a linen & rayon blend in a cheerful coral, which incidentally matches my closet. I love bright colors and tend to subconsciously choose a particular color for small bursts of time. Pink, peach, and coral seem to be my current theme. #MunaAndBroad #MunaAndBroadPatreon #MeMade #MeMadeMayFat #BlackWomenStitch #GeorgiaSews #MeMadeMay2023 #MillennialSewing #SeamsLikeSierra
It’s the first day of #MeMadeMay2023 and I reached for a very comfy and sleek black dress. This is the #HexhamDress in size H from @munaandbroad. I originally made this for Christmas card pictures with my family. The weather was a little cooler today, so this was perfect for staying warm but not too toasty. I used a cotton spandex jersey I bought from @lafinchfabrics_new that was easy to work with. I hope you get to see a variety of sewists on your feed for #MeMadeMay.
Here’s a treat for you, my new @munaandbroad #LobethalShirt in a marbled viscose poplin from @blackbirdfabrics. I’ve been holding on to this fabric for the perfect project, and I’m so pleased with the final result. It’s floaty, comfy, and chic. I paired it with my neon #GlebePants and my dog decided she wanted to join the mini photo shoot. I’m excited to make this pattern again, in a variety of fabrics. #MunaAndBroad #FatSewing #BlackWomenStitch #BlackBirdFabrics #BFPrints #SeamsLikeSierra
I’ve decided to join in on the #rssSpringSewalong fun. I’m using fabric from the Linear collection designed by @iamrashidacolemanhale. A little about me: I’m Sierra and I sew most of my clothes and sometimes bags. This will be my first quilt. I’m excited to try something different and hopefully have something cute for my dog to snuggle up with. #SeamsLikeSierra
Being social two weekends in a row feels like a tiny reemergence for me. Like I’m peeking through a cracked door and a small beam of light is coming through. I like it. And I feel great in my floaty @munaandbroad #MelbaDress. It’s time to make another one. #MeMade #MunaAndBroad #FatSewing #MillennialSewing #BlackSewist #CurvySewing #PlusSizeSewing #SeamsLikeSierra
I’m excited to share my most recent make, a top for my first QuiltCon. It’s a mixture of the @cashmerette #MontroseTop and #AltonBlouse. I used a @rubystarsociety quilting cotton designed by @iamrashidacolemanhale. I absolutely love this print and the entire Linear collection. I paired it with my linen @munaandbroad #GlebePants. I’ll be hanging out in the #SewBlackQC space today and wandering around the booths. #SewBlackQC23 #RoadToQuiltCon #SeamsLikeSierra #QuiltCon2023
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
