I haven’t worn a bodysuit since the early 90s. Back then, I had one or two that I wore all the time. I love them. Then I started getting a stomach and was told to conceal it with baggy tops that weren’t tucked in. At 12, I was being given the worst fashion advice ever: … More Simplicity 8344 Bodysuit
This post was originally on the CSC for the Curvy Year of Sewing Bodysuits and Swimsuits theme. Today I am reviewing the Cashmerette Ipswich Swimsuit. I did also test the swimsuit before release but my opinions are my own. There were some changes made between the version we tested and the final version so for obvious … More Cashmerette Ipswich Swimsuit

The Curvy Year of Sewing Jackets and Blazers theme was the perfect opportunity to finally make this Burda blazer. I keep talking about making a million blazers and then never doing the thing. I think starting here is a great gateway into maybe finally making the Vogue Claudia Shaeffer blazer of my dreams. The Burda … More Burda Magazine Jersey Blazer 08/2016 #134
And now for something completely different… The last time I made a Seamwork magazine pattern it was a complete and udder (HA!) disaster with the Florence bralette pattern. I would still love to find a bralette pattern that works for my bust size (gargantuan). That experience definitely turned me off of the patterns, but then … More Seamwork Jill Coatigan

The Forsythe Trousers go up … More Blank Slate Forsythe Trousers
#2018MakeNine For a few years now, Lucky Lucille has been running the #2018MakeNine hashtag on Instagram. I’ve taken part two years in a row. The first year, I failed miserably and last year I was able to get 4 items done which is still a percentage failure. This year I am trying something new by … More #2018MakeNine and Top 5 Reflections, Highlights, and Goals

Today, I am sharing my thoughts on Simplicity 8137 in a navy blue crepe lined with black rayon. The pattern includes a top, dress (knee length and full length), and pants. I made the … More Simplicity 8137 Wrap top
Oh you were expecting a non-lingerie post…. I’m the worst. I swear I have a bunch of non-lingerie garments to share. I just need to find the time to take pictures. Sooooon. This was originally posted on the Curvy Sewing Collective for Lingerie Month. Today I am reviewing the free (YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT!) Maya Bra … More Maya Bra
Yep, more lingerie. I am not sorry for this! I love it! That being said, I will have a v-neck Jenna cardi and a Jenna top to share with you soon. This is my latest cloned bra, the Garden bra. Why the Garden bra? I have an entire garden of little flowers sewn to the bridge … More Garden Bra
