I was so excited to get a preview copy of the newly updated #jadeskirt from @paprikapatterns! I have been wanting to make this skirt since it originally came out years ago, but it seemed very overwhelming to grade up due to all the pleating detail. Well good news, it now goes up to a 57.5” hip! I love to wear short knit skirts over leggings, and I think the pleating detail adds such a nice touch to make it a little more fun, and perhaps even a little more fancy (if styled differently, of course). I’ll try to get a blog post up about it over the weekend, but in the meantime I wanted to share some photos here in case you need a new pattern for some weekend sewing 🌸 I received this pattern in exchange for a review 🌷 #cscmakes #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblog #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram

The fact that I couldn’t quite put my finger on the fit issues I was having on my #hinterlanddress was bugging me, so I decided to pin the pattern on my dress form and see what was up! Check out my stories if you are interested (or, you know, just bored at hone and looking for more sewing stories). Check out my blog post (#linkinbio) if you want the backstory first. #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #patternfitting

Hey friends! Hope everyone is hanging in there. I just posted about my @sewliberated #hinterlanddress on my blog in case you are interested in more details! I love how it turned out, but I sure found quite a bit to chat about. Also, a little birdie (the Sew Liberated newsletter) told me they are working on expanding the size range on this pattern to a 34, which is amazing news 👏👏👏 #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe ##isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #curvyootd #fatshion #whatfatgirlsactuallywear #plussizesewing #plussizefashion

I’ve started drafting my jeans block! Exciting!! Check my stories for a time lapse of my drafting last night (took less than an hour!) and I’m about to chat about how I think it’s looking and compare it to my trouser block. Fun nerdy drafting times! #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #selfdrafted #patterndrafting #curvypatterndrafting #plussizepatternmaking #plussizepatterndrafting

In case you were wondering if the @munaandbroad #torrensboxtop top makes a good tunic- the answer is YES!! Yes it does! In fact it makes my dream tunic and I can’t stop wearing it. I simply lengthened it 15 inches, decided that was too long, and took a 3” hem allowance. Next time I’ll lengthen 13”. And also, if you are wondering how my continued struggle to photograph this amazing black linen from @lafinchfabrics is going, the answer is still not well. I think I’m going to have to retake the photos of this tunic and the Sculthorpe pants I photographed earlier in the week. Gah! I still want to add some pockets to this and have some scraps remaining, so leave me all your creative pocket ideas in the comments. I’m kind of leaning towards the angled patch pockets from the seamwork Jill Coatigan. 🌨 #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe ##isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #curvyootd #fatshion #whatfatgirlsactuallywear #plussizesewing #plussizefashion #cscmakes

Me, wistfully wishing for spring as another winter storm blows in. On the plus side, working from home has given me the chance to get some photos of old sewing projects. For example, this @sewliberated #hinterlanddress that I sewed back in the summer. It sure turned out cute, but I sure do have some thoughts about the pattern! Standby, it will be coming to @curvysewingcollective next week 🏜 #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe ##isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #sewcurvy #learntosew #nmsews #newmexicosews #cscmakes #fatsewing
