I’m trying to clear out my to-sew pile after the last year and a bit when I was often too sick to sew. A lot of projects in the pile had been cut out for a while. It’s been a while since I made a dress. I haven’t really worn them much this past year … More Blank Slate Patterns Marigold Dress
Years ago when the True Bias Roscoe was first released, I wanted to make it but the original sizing was a few inches smaller than my own. The finished measurements were probably okay at first but then I grew a bit more with my disability majorly limiting my mobility. Now the Roscoe is in sizes … More True Bias Roscoe Dress and an EDS photography show
Hot on the tail of my last post is my Helen’s Closet York Pinafore! I made view B with the kangaroo pocket. I did some grading between sizes. 22 at the shoulders. 26 at the bust. 28 at the hips. I’m wearing it with my Adrienne blouse. The fabric I used was a poly twill … More Helen’s Closet York Pinafore
The Friday Pattern Company Wilder gown is definitely a perfect gown for dramatic looks. I’ve been following the hashtag on IG for a while because people are creating such beautiful versions of it! The Toronto Sewcialists had a fancy party a few weeks ago and I knew I had to make this dress. I had … More Friday Pattern Company Wilder Gown
After the size inclusivity chat on Instagram, I was contacted by several pattern designers that pledged more sizes. CocoWawa was one of them. While the dress they were doing pattern testing for was just slightly outside my size, the ease in it would work. Ana and I chatted about it and she really wanted to … More Introducing the CocoWawa Crafts Maple Dress
I recently took part in DH Fabrics’ Sewing is for Everyone and Every Body blog series. As part of it, DH Fabrics offered to send us fabric. I opted for this gorgeous berry wool blend jersey. A bunch of us at the CSC wanted to do a Same Pattern Different Bodies for the Seamwork Tacara … More Seamwork Tacara
I love this dress from Burda issue 02/2018. The dress is made for woven fabric but I knew it was destined for this crepe knit fabric. I adapted the pattern for knit fabric but not doing my usual FBA, omitting the zipper, and relying on negative ease by only adding a scant 1/4 inch … More Burda Tie Sleeve Dress
I tested the Cashmerette Rivermont pattern and really fell in love with it. The pattern includes a sheath dress and a peplum top with a high scoop neck. The neckline has shoulder to shoulder facings. And there are big pockets in the sheath dress. The pattern called for medium weight ponte knit or lightweight neoprene/scuba. When … More Cashmerette Rivermont Pattern
Disclaimer: Received the pattern for free. Opinions my own. Dragons were not harmed in the making of this dress. My blog has a contact form and occasionally I get contacted by companies for weird promotional purposes. It’s pretty rare that happens and I usually actually ignore the emails. I know, terrible, but sometimes they have … More Verity Dress Plus Sized Re-launch by Moxie Patterns
Of course, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry by ooh shiny! That’s the quote right? Directly after I made my plans for the remainder of the summer, I started making a muslin of M6754. It’s okay. It has an issue with the raglan sleeve so there are a few more adjustments to … More Comfy Womfy: Butterick 6210
