A Saturday spent doing some serious yard work. Put in an “irrigation” system for my raised beds, planted my veggies, seeded some others, pulled weeds, bought a new colorful pot, planted some flowers in the front. A productive day, but now I’m exhausted. I’d really like to do some sewing today, but this yard situation has consumed my life for the last two weeks. I’m wearing my wearable muslin of the @sewliberated #arenitepants, a @grainlinestudio #pennyraglan, and my @sbccpatterns #harveyshirt, which, no, I did not do any yard work in, I just put it on to go to the plant and grocery stores 🌻🍀🍆 #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe ##isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #memademay2019 #mmmay2019plus #memademayplus #curvyootd #fatshion #whatfatgirlsactuallywear #plussizesewing #plussizefashion #memademay2019plus [Megan wearing her me made outfit of a gray button front shirt, black tee, and red drapey pants in a room full of plants in the afternoon sun]

Yesterday’s unexciting and barely me made outfit. As I mentioned yesterday, I have a huge lack of me-made clothes that are appropriate to wear to work once the summer field season starts (I’m a geologist). On the one hand, I am so excited that companies like @prana have expanded their size ranges, while there still isn’t much available, 10 years ago there literally wasn’t anything. On the other hand, now that I sew, I know I can make things fit and thus function better than RTW, so I have this nagging debate in the back of my mind about whether or not is worth my time to hack a pants pattern into something field appropriate. Anyways, I am wearing an @cashmerette pattern’s #cedardolmantop with RTW jeans from @prana and a sweater from @kuhl. Once I get to work, I switch the sweater for a sun shirt and I am good to go. Any thoughts on sewing the more “practical” items in your wardrobe (especially when the patterns don’t exist)? What would you do? 🌄 #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe ##isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #memademay2019 #mmmay2019plus #memademayplus #curvyootd #fatshion #whatfatgirlsactuallywear #plussizesewing #plussizefashion #memademay2019plus

A pretty boring outfit for yesterday, because sometimes I need to normcore and pretend to be the super serious lady geologist I’m supposed to be. And get ready, because field season starts today so my outfits are about to get significantly less cute and less me made. This is my other pair of @cashmerette #amesjeans, the ones I don’t wear that much because the cone mills denim is too rigid to be comfortable all day! Boo. Worn with a @dixiediy #summerconcerttee in a linen knit, which I do love but forget to wear for some reason. #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe ##isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #memademay2019 #mmmay2019plus #memademayplus #curvyootd #fatshion #whatfatgirlsactuallywear #plussizesewing #plussizefashion #memademay2019plus

Yesterday was finally sandal weather, yay! I’m so ready, and I am ready for some more summer pants. I’ve got some Flints in the queue that I need to get started on this weekend. I wore my @inthefolds #peppermintwidelegpants with my @sbccpatterns #harveyshirt and a @grainlinestudio #pennyraglan. Double gauze for the shirt is from @hipstitchabq, all other fabric from @joann_stores 🌞 #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe ##isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #memademay2019 #mmmay2019plus #memademayplus #curvyootd #fatshion #whatfatgirlsactuallywear #plussizesewing #plussizefashion #memademay2019plus

Well I clearly can’t stop wearing my @megannielsenpatterns #eucalyptdress 💕You know how it is when you’ve just made something and suddenly it seems perfect for every occasion! I added a patch pocket that you can’t really see here and now it’s perfect for office days at work. Worn with my @sbccpatterns limoncello cardigan, which made for a super comfy outfit 🌵 #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memadeevertyday #isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #memademay2019 #mmmay2019plus #memademayplus #curvyootd #fatshion #whatfatgirlsactuallywear #plussizesewing #plussizefashion #memademay2019plus #mncurve #mneucalypt #sbccpatterns

Every day I wear my Ames Jeans is a good day! I really need to make another pair as these came up a little short due to some on-the-fly alterations, but at least it’s spring now, so short is OK. My @cashmerette patterns #amesjeans are worn with my @helens__closet #blackwoodcardigan in fabric from #stonemountainfabric and my @dixiediy #summerconcerttee in fabric from @joann_stores 🌺 #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #memademay2019 #mmmay2019plus #memademayplus #curvyootd #fatshion #whatfatgirlsactuallywear #plussizesewing #plussizefashion #memademay2019plus
