I’ve had the extended sizes of the Kabuki Tee from Paper Theory printed out for ages now, and it’s been in the back of my mind that I ought to find some lovely linen for this for ages now. A couple of weeks ago I tried to find some examples of plus-size bodies in the…… Continue reading Plus-size Kabuki Tee from Paper Theory

MyBodyModel for plus-size sketching
Recently I’ve made a lot more wardrobe orphans than usual (light sky-ish blue pants that don’t go with any of my tops being a prime example) and I’ve also not been sketching my makes as much. I’d like to start doing that more, both before I cut-and-sew but also before I purchase fabric. Hopefully this…… Continue reading MyBodyModel for plus-size sketching
Sunday Plus-Size Pattern Roundup #9
The pattern roundup today features patterns which are available up to at least a 50″ bust or hip. Ultimately, I’d like to use the 60″ standard that’s been set by the knitting world, but at the moment that’d make for a pretty small list. Neither this roundup nor any future roundup will include pattern companies…… Continue reading Sunday Plus-Size Pattern Roundup #9
Ashton top tropical toile
The Ashton top from Helen’s Closet has been out for a while now and I finally caved and purchased the pattern as a possible replacement for the Cashmerette Springfield Top, which fits great, but is a bit too fitted for my tastes (I want something boxier). The Ashton is available up to a “size 30″…… Continue reading Ashton top tropical toile

Torrens Box Top adventures
We recently launched some bonus long-sleeve pieces to accompany the Torrens Box Top pattern from Muna and Broad. Since our summer hasn’t been particularly warm, I went a little sewing-crazy adding new sleeves of various kinds to my wardrobe! Rather than post about all of them, I thought that a round-up post might be in…… Continue reading Torrens Box Top adventures
Sunday Plus-Size Pattern Roundup #7
The roundup for this Sunday featured a selection of patterns that aren’t new, you’re not likely to have missed their arrival but maybe they’ve fallen off your radar in the meantime? I often find myself purchasing (and sometimes even immediately printing) patterns which take my fancy, and then they sit, waiting for inspiration to strike.…… Continue reading Sunday Plus-Size Pattern Roundup #7

Torrens Box Dress Hack
I’d been dreaming of my own comfortable box dress in the style of Elizabeth Suzann’s Georgia Dress in silk, and I knew this fabric would be gorgeous to wear and would drape well. I have an entire pinterest board of sack dresses where the vast majority look exactly like the Georgia dress and I think…… Continue reading Torrens Box Dress Hack
Torrens Box Top with Sleeves
We’ve been working to extend the sizing and also add some long-sleeve options for the Torrens Box Top pattern that we’ve released under Muna and Broad! This is my second test of the narrow-sleeve extension, and I’m so pleased that I’ve now got the woven drop-shouldered long-sleeve top pattern that I’ve been looking for! This…… Continue reading Torrens Box Top with Sleeves
