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’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
