Detail shot of the beautiful faces neckline of the #pepperminteverydaydress and thus beautiful linen from @minervadotcom 💜 This dress is actually reversible, with a shallow scoops on the other side, but I’ve only worn it this way! Click over to my blog or the @minervadotcom blog for more photos and all the details. #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe ##isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #plussizesewing #plussizefashion #minervamakes #minervamakers

Remember this linen #pepperminteverydaydress I made a couple of months ago? Well all the details are up on the @minervadotcom blog! I’m happy to report after a couple months of wear that it is the best dress ever, so easy to wear for many different occasions. You can find the post by clicking through to my blog #linkinbio or searching for it on @minervadotcom 💜 This fabric was provided to me in exchange for a blog post with no expectation that I would share about it on social media- I just love it 💜 #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe ##isew #sew #sewcialists #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #curvyootd #fatshion #whatfatgirlsactuallywear #plussizesewing #plussizefashion #minervamakers #minervamakes #minervadotcom @inthefolds

I’ve started using my vintage Elnita for buttonhole and, wow, I sure do love it. After a little repair this morning to get rid of a metal on metal noise it was making (it started shortly after I purchased it from a local lady on Facebook), it knocked out some beautiful 4 step button holes. I may just use it for the rest of this hinterland dress! #sewing #hinterlanddress #vintagesewingmachine #elnitasewingmachine #elnasewingmachine #elnita #buttonholes #memade #handmadewardrobe #isew #sewcialists

So here is the big reveal on the @sbccpatterns Pisco Dress- the back!! (I posted the front yesterday in case you missed it). Y’all, seriously, this is pattern drafting magic. Between my pear shape, sway back, high booty, and bad posture, I didn’t think I would ever be able to get rid of those high hip to bust drag lines I have on most patterns. Turns out the secret is FIVE shaped seams graded from a 1x to 3x (swipe for the line drawing). Since there was so much interest in this dress yesterday, I went ahead and put up a blog post. Click through my bio for all the details! 🌼🌵 #sbccpisco #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #isew #sew #sewcialists #linkinbio #sewingblog #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram

As always, it’s was a true pleasure to test the Pisco Dress from @sbccpatterns. This fabulous new pattern released today and I am honestly still shocked by how well it fits. It comes in xxs-4X sizes, B, C, and D cups sizes, and in petite AND AVERAGE lengths (woo! The average length is new!). It is so cleverly designed to allow you to combine all the options to get a customized fit. I sewed the petite bodice and average length skirt and I couldn’t believe how perfect it was for my body! There is so much more to say about this pattern, I am working on getting a blog post up ASAP. Fabric is from @joann_stores 🌻 #sewingpattern #patterntesting #memade ##cscmakes #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #isew #sew #sewcialists ##sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #sbccpatterns #sbccpisco

I’m taking a pattern drafting class! More than you ever wanted to know about it in my stories (and saved to highlights). Here is the “text”. Is this legit? I have no clue! This should be an adventure! #sewing #patterndrafting #handmadewardrobe #backtoschool
