When the Sew Liberated Nest Sweatshirt came out, I scooped it up super fast. Of course, actual sewing didn’t happen on super fast timelines. That Chronic Illness Life definitely slows down wants. I had two dresses from my pile of clothes to remake using the fabric that I thought were perfect for this pattern. The … More Sew Liberated Nest Sweatshirt
The Same Pattern, Different Bodies post on the Saybrook tank has been out for a while and my yellow set is posted on Minerva, but I always want reviews to go on my blog. Sadly, these posts rarely get much engagement, because they have been posted elsewhere, but whatever. I don’t just do this for … More Cashmerette Saybrook tank top
It’s been a rough time for me from my last post in August. My migraines got way way worse causing me to take medical leave from work at the beginning of October. October was probably the toughest month for me because my symptoms got worse. My physiotherapist described some of the cognitive effects of this … More Update and Seamwork Jo
I had the Cashmerette Montrose top in my pattern stash for a while but didn’t make it up. I prefer knit shirts, but I’ve been on a woven shirt kick lately. I actually started making this last year during the #slowprojectchallenge with @chronicallysewn on Instagram. I cut out the top and then embroidered the shoulders: … More Embroidered Cashmerette Montrose top
The Seamwork Emmie top came out last August and I snapped it up immediately, but just didn’t get around to making it until now. The Emmie top is pretty similar to the Roscoe blouse in style. There is a bit of a change from the Roscoe with the sleeve hem shaping and also there is … More Seamwork Emmie Top

Muna and Broad is one of the newer indie pattern companies run by Leila (@Leilasews) and Jess (Broad in the Seams). They are a plus-sized pattern company and really put a lot of work … More Muna and Broad Torrens Box Top
I’ve been wanting to make a Seamwork Loretta top since it was released but for whatever reason just kept getting pushed out of my sewing queue. I’ve had it printed and put together for a while now but finally decided to take the plunge a few weeks ago. The Loretta is a pull over woven … More Seamwork Loretta top
As soon as I saw the Seamwork Brit and the bonus variation, I knew I had to have it. Although, I wasn’t interested in making the dress. I have been lusting after a top with a ruffle detail for ages. I was actually going to design one myself using the Cashmerette Concord t-shirt pattern but … More Seamwork Brit
Today I am sharing a post that I originally posted on the sewcialist blog for Striped month. 🙂 With a few extras for my blog. 😉 This post breaks all those silly rules that society makes up. As a plus sized person, we are often told about what to wear to “flatter” our shape. To … More Striped Cashmerette Cedar Dolman
I’m back from the honeymoon. I had a great time and will talk a bit more about that here in the next couple of weeks as I get over my jet lag. That’s a real thing. I was a zombie by 4pm last night and fought to stay awake until 9pm and then woke up … More Muse Pattern’s Philippa Pattern
