I wore my new ski bibs for the first time this weekend. While some things were awesome, there are a few things I would change. Fortunately I still can since I did not seal all the seams yet! Firstly, I’m going to take in the legs a bit as they are comically huge! A bit more length through the bum would be helpful for bending over, but I’m not sure that’s worth the effort at this point. Finally, I have to remember to update the pattern so I can replicate the effort if needed! All in all, I’m very happy for my first attempt at this. #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #iamnot2d #selfdrafted #patterndrafting #sewactivewear #sewskigear #curvypatterndrafting #handmadeski #memadeeverydayevenwheniski

Thank you all so much for the love for these ski bibs!! I am totally blown away. This photo captures two of my favorite details- the pocket flaps covering the waterproof zippers on the upper thigh and the front closure. There is a zip fly, Velcro, and a snap for additional security. Not to mention, I bought some huge clasps for the front closures (they might be a little oversized 🤣). Keep in mind these aren’t quite done yet, you can see a little seam allowance there at the top of the zipper that should be covered with seam sealing tape- but I ran out! That’s a project for next week, today I’m off to test them out! ⛷ #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #iamnot2d #selfdrafted #patterndrafting #sewactivewear #sewskigear #curvypatterndrafting #handmadeski #memadeeverydayevenwheniski #newmexicosews

The ski bibs are done!!! The ski bibs are done!!! Well actually they still aren’t 100% done (still a few things I’d like to fiddle with) but they are done enough to use them this weekend and that was my goal. I could not be more thrilled with how these worked out! I have more detail shots to share, but here is the front, side, and back to get you started. These are 100% self drafting from my tapered pants block I developed in my pattern drafting class last fall, strongly inspired by some RTW bibs a friends lent me to knock off, and strongly motivated by the bibs @leila_sews made a bit earlier in the season. This is only the 4th thing I’ve drafted, so I gotta say I’m pretty shocked with how well it all worked out. Goretex and all notions from @seattlefabrics 🎿 #cscmakes #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #iamnot2d #selfdrafted #patterndrafting #sewactivewear #sewskigear #curvypatterndrafting #handmadeski #memadeeverydayevenwheniski

I meant to get better pictures of these... but I’m not going to let that stop me from letting you know that my most favorite leggings pattern has been re-released in a new size range. It’s the #averyleggings form @helens__closet 💕 YAY!!!! A few changes have been made to the pattern since I made this tester version and I haven’t tested them out yet, but I made the old size range when I was just slightly outside of the sizing and I have worn them to pieces. So glad this pattern is now available in my size, I am preparing to sew all the leggings 🌵 fabric from @lafinchfabrics 🌺 #cscmakes #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #isew #sew #sewcialists #patterntesting #sewingblog #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #fatsewing #fatsew #fatsewist #effyourbeautystandards

Waterproof zippers and seam tape and goretex, oh my. Trying to blast through sewing these ski pants so I can ski on Sunday!

Friends- I have drafted ski bibs from my pants block and honestly I am shocked and amazed that it worked. Pattern drafting is magic! I think they came up a little big but other wise I am super happy. I think I will be able to experiment a bit with fit tonight and get started on the real version (in goretex!) tomorrow cause I need to be wearing these ASAP. All the pics from all the angles and all the details about how I plan to finish and wear these are in my stories cause it’s too much to retype⛷ #patterndrafting #curvypatterndraftng #sewactivewear #gearsewing #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe ##isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #sewistsofinstagram🎿
