As a person who only wears flat shoes, I’ve been thinking more and more about taking a shoe-first approach to wardrobe planning (and outfit planning too)! I’ve started a Pinterest Board of fat bodies with flat shoes (separated into different styles of shoes), I’ve started a ‘Flat Shoe Style’ blog series here on my blog,…… Continue reading Flat Shoe Style: White Sneakers

Flat Shoe Style: Sneakers
Ever sew up a garment or buy something and then realise you have no shoes to wear with it? Shoes are my styling kryptonite, basically because I never want to wear heels again in my entire life. Because SO MUCH ‘fashion’ and especially plus-size fashion is shown with high-heels, I’ve been thinking a lot abut…… Continue reading Flat Shoe Style: Sneakers
Tortilla Jacket
https://flic.kr/p/2oxChme My wardrobe has been missing an outer layer, so when The Fine Cloth Company asked if I wanted some of their tortilla wool, I said yes immediately. When the fabric arrived, I wasn’t 100% sure what kind of jacket it would become. I tossed up between something worker/utility or a robe jacket, I started…… Continue reading Tortilla Jacket
Pink & red Alistra
I love a red and pink combo, and this curved-colourblock take on the Alistra Dress is the Muna and Broad Patreon Insider & Maker Pattern Bonus for April.

Gusset pocket Lobethal
https://flic.kr/p/2ooWZ1R The pockets came before the shirt, but got attached after the shirt was already constructed. Confusing? Yes. I made these blue pockets when I was photographing the method for making them for Muna and Broad Patreons. Leila had digitised my pocket pattern which I used to add a cargo pocket to my TDCO Glebe…… Continue reading Gusset pocket Lobethal
Ode to Whitlam Skirt
The Muna and Broad Whitlam Skirt is a deceptively simple knit skirt which is fitted through the back but flows over the front. When we released the Whitlam we got lots of ‘yes, but how does it look on someone with a belly overhang?!’ questions- it looks just like this! The skirt has turned out…… Continue reading Ode to Whitlam Skirt

Herringbone Lobethal
https://flic.kr/p/2ogZkqv The Lobethal Shirt is the latest Muna and Broad pattern. This big ass shirt is a vibe, and a statement, and I was really worried that with this fabric I’d accidentally made scrubs!
