Just finished this Cashmerette Stanton Hoodie. Took a Zoom class with Sarah Joiner through Pintuck and Purl shop. Graded size 20 chest, 28 waist, 30 hips, and 26 full bicep sleeve. A bit tricky to grade, but I have super comfy hoodie which fits but I am not drowning in it. Sweatshirt fleece with cotton spandex scraps for lining. OESD embroidery from their Sashiko Reflections collection. #cashmerettestanton #pintuckandpurl #oesdembroidery #sewover50plus #curvysewingcollective
I made a needle minder. Needles are not cheap and i keep bouncing between so many projects, which requires frequent needle changes. I saw these online but shipping was $$$. So my dh designed and 3D printed the tray. I made an internal bag filled with fine walnut shells from Harbor Freight. Then I designed and machine embroidered the front, and made a zippered cover for the filled bag, just in case, one layer was not enough. My needle abbreviations are Stretch, Topstitch, Overlock, Universal, Jersey, Jean, Embroidery, and Microtex. I added space for hand sewing needles too. Good bye old fashion tomatoes. Can you tell there has been 3 snow storms in 6 days and I am going a little crazy. Willing to share the 3D tray and embroidery designs if there is any interest. #sewover50 #punkfrockers #curvysewingcollective
Another bonus day in November. Walked on the beach. Dipped my toes in the icy water. Living life in me mades. Self drafted tee shirt, #noicejeans. I am sitting on a beloved self drafted flannel button up. And I made his shirt too! #munaandbroad #sewiver50plus #memadeeveryday #imakemyclothes #plussizesewing #curvysewingcollective #memadeonrepeat
Have you visited the Pattern Library lately? There are over 600 patterns from 111 pattern companies. So many great patterns and designers. Patterns must extend to 60″ hips to be included in this library, to support pattern designers that provide extended size patterns.
There is a new option to look at the New patterns recently added to the library over the last few months.
There are many search options, to help you locate the perfect pattern you are looking for.
Searching on keywords for “gender” will get you some gender neutral options.
No affiliations. #plussizesewingpattern #sewover50plus #fatsewover50 #curvysewingcollective
Click onthe link in my profile, to find the Just Cut The Scrap Pattern Library. Happy pattern searching!
#pfgratitude I am grateful to all the support and inspiration I find on the #curvysewingcollective and for all the pattern designers and companies who are expanding their offerings to be more inclusive. Also grateful to Beverly and Jenny for being a positive force for that inclusiveness. You inspired me to create and share the Pattern Library search engine, which makes finding indie patterns easier, with fewer disappointments, with its search by measurements. Currently adding more extended size patterns, daily. #weedstowildflowers #johassler
