The Muna and Broad Grainger coat is an oversized, quilted coat in two lengths: hip length and thigh length. Click here to see the Muna and Broad Grainger coat. Muna and Broad has a fantastic size range and will grade their patterns up if you need a larger size. I made a size G with … More Muna and Broad Grainger Coat
I am back to work this week. Feeling a bit conflicted about it, but overall glad to be well enough to go back. I am at 4 bad migraines a month now with a higher dose of my preventative meds (Aimovig). I still have few headache free days, but more small headaches than anything else. … More Ready to Sew Pekka Jacket, Calder pants, and OOP Simplicity 2741
I love the Cambria Duster from Friday Pattern Company a lot. Last year, I made three versions and couldn’t share until the Minerva site was live… All were for the Minerva site (check out my profile here with all my shared projects). Okay, technically, I could have shared. Just not the exact wording. But then … More Friday Pattern Company Cambria Duster
Before I chat about the Blackwood Cardigan, check out the Same Pattern Different Bodies post for the Muna and Broad Glebe pants on the Curvy Sewing Collective. I forgot to mention it in my last post when I talked about the Glebe pants. I want to make another pair and then you’ll see a full … More Helen’s Closet Blackwood Cardigan
Hi everyone! I recently redid my website. It’s not 100% finished but getting there and unless you look back in my archives, you can’t really tell the unfinished bits. When I went through all my past posts, it turns out that I didn’t share everything I made in 2019. I know it’s February now but … More Round up of unposted projects from 2019
I’ve wanted to make a jean jacket for a while and the Seamwork Audrey was on my list. It’s one of few jean jacket patterns that actually goes up to my bust measurement. On one level, I find that appalling, but there are also not many jean jacket patterns out there with this style. The … More Seamwork Audrey Jacket #sewyourpride
When @naturaldane and @onesewsweet announced the Black History Month Pattern Designers Challenge, I was excited. I wanted to try Style Sew Me patterns for a while and what a perfect time to do it. I got the Nikki blazer pattern and the Alise top, which is a current work in progress. I used a green … More Style Sew Me Nikki Blazer
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
I don’t wear a lot of black anymore but I used to wear black in my early teen years. I like sporting black tops and a million “Goth” necklaces. It didn’t last long before I thought that the black made me look super pale and I started having allergic reactions to the bad metals in … More LBD and a Designer Stitch Willow Wrap
