The Ali Sweatshirt Is Bae

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but making sweatshirts is so delightful. Yeah that was cheesy but it’s me. As I’m adapting to weather in New England I’ve started to … Continue reading The Ali Sweatshirt Is Bae

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

Me Made May Day 6. Today’s song is B.S. by Jhené Aiko and H.E.R. I don’t have a super deep caption for this. I listened to this song and was feeling myself so I put on an outfit to fit the mood. This is the @cashmerette Alcott dress in a floral ITY from @fabricmart. I need to make this again. It’s comfy & dramatic - the perfect combo. Go be cute today. #MMMayFat #MMMayFat2021 #MMMay #MMMay2021 #MeMadeMayFat #GaSews #FatSewing #MMMayPlus #CashmerettePatterns #AlcottDress #FatSewingClub #Cashmerette #MeMade #SewMySize #CurvySewing #CSCMakes #MillennialSewing #BlackSewist #BlackMaker #SewVisiblyFat #CurvySewingCollective #SeamsLikeSierra

Me Made May Day 5. Today’s song is Everyday by the Dave Matthews Band. My dad loves Dave and we try to make concerts an entire event for the family. I made this dress for my family Christmas card photoshoot back in 2019. I didn’t realize how much I’d reach for it. It’s really great for almost every situation and it’s super comfy. It’s another lengthened @cashmerette #CedarDolmanTop but this time in a viscose linen noil. #MMMayFat #MMMayFat2021 #MMMay2021 #MeMadeMayFat #GaSews #FatSewing #MMMayPlus #CashmerettePatterns #MMMay #CedarDolmanTop #YouCanHackIt #FatSewingClub #SewMySize #BlackbirdFabrics #SewVisiblyFat #BFViscoseLinenNoil #CurvySewing #CurvySewingCollective #MeMade #MillennialSewing #BlackSewist #BlackMaker #SeamsLikeSierra

Me Made May Day 4! Today’s song is Adore You by Harry Styles. Can you see me singing at the top of my lungs —I’d walk through fire for you, just let me adore you. Even if you can’t picture that, know that I would absolutely scream sing this with @jusre. She’s an amazing sister and truly my best friend. We are both wearing me mades. She made a @seamwork Tacara in a blue and red jersey that she lengthened and cocooned in. I made a dress using the @cashmerette Springfield top and a gathered skirt in Brussels washer linen. I don’t remember where I bought this fabric but @pdxsewingstudio has it in several colors. I I’mm also wearing a @munaandbroad Banksia bralette & Waratah undies. Swipe for an outtake.

Me Made May Day 3. I’ve had intense rain and thunderstorms pretty much all day. Ironically today’s song is Everybody Loves the Sunshine by Ron Ayers Ubiquity. I could listen to this song everyday. It just puts a smile on my face. It makes me want to host a backyard bbq or block party. I usually wear bright colors on rainy days because it injects some joy in whatever I do. I put on my @criswoodsews envelope dress in this bright yellow print from @blackbirdfabrics. It’s wrinkled from lots of wear and me refusing to iron it. I’m resting most of the day and listening to the storms outside. #MMMayFat #MMMay #BFPrints #MMMay2021 #MeMadeMayFat #GaSews #FatSewing #MMMayPlus #CrisWoodSewsEnvelope #CSCMakes #BlackbirdFabrics #FatSewingClub #CurvySewing #CurvySewingCollective #SeamsLikeSierra

Me Made May Day 2 - today’s song was Distance by Emily King (@emilykingmusic). There’s a part in the song that says “maybe get dressed up, wear something real pretty that you ain’t never seen.” That’s what led me to this outfit. Haven’t shared these newer @munaandbroad #BirchgrovePants yet. Paired it with another M&B pattern, the #TorrensBoxTop. I like that I can tuck this shirt in or leave it out. It’s easy and the whole outfit makes me feel good.
