Decades of Style Ophelia Overalls

February 14, 2019February 12, 2019 Megan23 Comments

Can you believe I made overalls? No? Neither can I, but when Janet from Decades of Style reached out to me and asked if I would be willing to test this pattern, I just couldn't say no! I'd been planning to make pair of linen overalls for this coming summer but hadn't really found a… Continue reading Decades of Style Ophelia Overalls

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

Hi, Friends! I hope you are all hanging in there, I’m sending 💕 and big hugs. I just finished my first pair of @munaandbroad #sculthorpepants with perfect timing, I have the privilege of being able to work at home for the next indeterminate amount of time, and I think these may be my new uniform. I don’t have anything productive to add to the Covid discussion, so let’s focus on the pants! Sorry you can barely see any details, black! Gah! These are the size 2, but to be honest, I wish I had sized down. I realized in hindsight that all my favorite pairs, especially the rust colored pair that @fabric_scraps made, were one size down. These are totally wearable as is, so I’m debating on whether I’m going to take these in, or just make another smaller pair! I also added some length to the crotch hook/extension. I’d be happy to cover the details of that in my stories if anyone is interested. Let me know! Fabric from @lafinchfabrics 🏜 ##cscmakes #curvysewing #memadewardrobe #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #isew #sew #sewcialists #linkinbio #sewingblog #sewingblogger #sewing #lovetosew #sewinclusive #curvyfashion #sewcialists #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram #stayinandsew

Thanks to everyone who sent me draping inspiration over the last few days. I really appreciate it and I especially extra appreciate the fact that several people suggested I do my draping class project in jersey, which would immediately make it seems more casual and wearable for everyday! Yay! I’m excited with where this is headed so far- and no, it won’t be one shoulder, I want to do a cap sleeve bodied that will be under the draped overlay. I had forgotten about this fabric in my stash, but I think it might actually be perfect for this project! #sewing #sewcialists #patterndrafting #fashionsketch #curvyfasionsketch #curvyfasiondesign #plussizefashion #plussizefashionsketch #curvysewing #handmadewardrobe #isew #sewingpatterns #fashiondraping #draping

The draping class rant you have all been waiting for (or maybe not) in my stories now! I finally reached my breaking point for the semester afternoon one too many unanswered questions from the instructor 😡 But more importantly, I have no idea what I want my final project for the semester to be and I need to know by Tuesday! Help! #sewing #sewcialists #patterndrafting #fashionsketch #curvyfasionsketch #curvyfasiondesign #plussizefashion #plussizefashionsketch #curvysewing #handmadewardrobe #isew #sewingpatterns
