Just in time to wrap up #curvyyearofsewing extras and accessories @blankslatepatterns just released their latest pattern the #KireiCami I did the swingy version in this sequin knit which is great for kicking it up a notch. Also has fitted version and optional shelf bra. Great for those 2 yards or less pile of fabric I have in my stash. Link to purchase in my bio.

Finished up two pairs of underwear today. Both made from t-shirts I wasn’t using. One shrank lengthwise in the wash, the other was a maternity tee. My youngest is 19! #thriftysewing #cscmakes #CurvyYearofSewing

First pair, self drafted pattern. The 2nd pic shows the FAA (full abdomen adjustments) made. #cscmakes #curvysewing #CurvyYearofSewing

For my birthday I made myself a @helens__closet Suki robe! It was perfect for lounging around in our yurt on holiday! I’ve blogged about it, link in bio. #helenscloset #sukikimono #plussizesewing #curvysewing #cscmakes #millenialsewing #curvyyearofsewing #sewqueer

I’m so proud of this outfit! Heading to Rome tomorrow, so obviously I need a Roman Holiday inspired outfit. The shirt is a @byhandlondon pattern and the skirt is drafted from a dress I own. I’ve been trying new things this year. On this project, I drafted my first pattern, made a belt, and did a rolled hem. All of the fabric came from a store near Pittsburgh called the Fabric Place. Probably the nicest materials I’ve ever worked with… #MeMadeMay2018 #mmmay18 #memade #sewvintage #bhl #craftypittsburgh #curvysewingcollective #curvyyearofsewing #romanholiday

Now that’s a belt. #MeMadeMay2018 has been hit and miss so far due to being out of town, but I have to get this skirt fine before Wednesday because I’m going to Rome. But here’s my #curvyyearofsewing entry. This belt looks so much nicer than the first! Skirt to follow shortly. #cyos

New me-made shoes…apologizing in advance for all the pictures 😄 These are my May/June entry for @curvysewingcollective “extra/accessories” category in the #curvyyearofsewing . Made these yesterday from a kit from @rebeccameurin . Except for my fear of messing them up or not making them symmetrical they were pretty straight forward to make 😂 Also I probably used twice as many nails as I kept on bending them when hammering 😂 Think they’re going to be in high rotation this summer. #cscmakes #memadeshoes #mmmay18 #tuileriesateliersurlefil #kitchaussuresateliersurlefil

I drafted an “I don’t feel like wearing a bra but I still kinda need to wear a bra” soft bra for PMS days when anything I put on my breasts hurts. It’s was remarkably successful for something I made up as I went along. The fabric is SO SOFT, but has less stretch than anticipated. This is a good thing in many ways, as my GGcups need extra support that a regular soft cup bra can’t provide. However, once I had it on, I couldn’t get it off and had to wait the whole day for my beloved to come home and cut me out of it 😂😂😂 at least it was comfortable. Mods for the final version will include wider straps (I made lovely padded ones, but I need more width), a FRONT CLOSURE 😂 and more room in the front of the cup. 💪 #curvyyearofsewing #imadeabra #andthenigotstuckinit #ivegotbigcupsandicannotlie #imakemyownclothes #grannybra

New underwear for #curvyyearofsewing 👍 this is the @radpatterns #panelundies pattern, made using fabric scraps from my stash. This is such a great stress relieving sew – quick and simple to make and EXTRA comfy to wear (once you get the elastic length right! 😹) #sewing #isew #imakemyclothes #panties #cscmakes #stressrelief #stashbusting
