This denim Rushcutter dress from In The Folds is one of the first dresses that I made. There were so many amazing versions of this on the internet, but in order to fully recreate I probably should do a FBA, but there’s so many bits to adjust that I probably never will. Originally, I couldn’t…… Continue reading Rushcutter Dress in denim

Zadie Jumpsuit from PaperTheory
I’ve loved Paper Theory’s patterns for ages- they’re exactly the kind of style that I wish I could buy in stores for myself (so I wouldn’t need to sew). When she announced that she was extending the sizes for her Zadie Jumpsuit, I was all over that like a rash. I actually reviewed this jumpsuit…… Continue reading Zadie Jumpsuit from PaperTheory
Morning Glory Top
A free plus size sewing pattern for beginners? Look no further! The Morning Glory Top is a free top pattern from the lovely Sarah Kirsten (Check out my post on free plus size sewing patterns for beginners). I made this top in some slightly shiny brick coloured cotton fabric which I got for the grand…… Continue reading Morning Glory Top
Liberty Lawn Springfield Top
I wish I had a picture of the dress that this top used to be so that I could share a before and after. This Springfield Top pattern from Cashmerette is a recent purchase and has quickly become a Tried-and-True pattern in my wardrobe! This liberty lawn was a very “spendy” purchase from The Fabric…… Continue reading Liberty Lawn Springfield Top
Rivermont Dress in Chorizo
I got this glorious ponte from Tessuti in Australia. I got a sample of this and a delicious chartreuse and eventually decided that this colour was perhaps more practical. In reality, I wish I’d bought both. Cashmerette’s Rivermont Dress & Peplum pattern is probably a t’n’t pattern at this point, and it’s so comfortable to…… Continue reading Rivermont Dress in Chorizo
A hacked ruffle sleeve top
It’s quite hard finding good sewing patterns for larger ladies, and I’ve had so many fails with paid patterns that when I find free plus size sewing patterns, I definitely have to find out more. I’ve learnt so much from sewing the Peppermint Magazine’s free sewing patterns, and I hacked a couple of short sleeves…… Continue reading A hacked ruffle sleeve top
Cashmerette Pembroke Dress
This Pembroke Dress from Cashmerette is actually a mashup of both the tunic and dress version of the pattern, since I wanted a desperately wanted both that amazing neck and the ties that drew me to the pattern. Since Cashmerette patterns have such a curve between the waist and the hip, I usually choose this…… Continue reading Cashmerette Pembroke Dress
Lou Box Dress 1
I’ve made 1 other version of this Lou Box Dress No.1 from SewDIY which is in my ‘rework this piece entirely’ box of unloved sews. I don’t really fit in to the current size range of SewDIY, but I bought the pattern anyway (back when I was less stubborn than I am now). While this…… Continue reading Lou Box Dress 1
Ruffle Sleeve Free Plus Size Pattern
I’m always looking for free printable plus size sewing patterns! Peppermint Magazine’s free minimalist sewing patterns haven’t always been so size inclusive, but all but one of their patterns which were drafted by Emily from In The Folds go up to a 54.5″hip. Sizing Details: I made a Size J, omitted the ruffle on the…… Continue reading Ruffle Sleeve Free Plus Size Pattern
Lou Box Top Maxi-Dress
This is a dress hack of the Lou Box Top from SewDIY and the earliest surviving example of my makes with this pattern (others have been given away to smaller friends or chopped up to make smaller versions for other friends). I cut out the bodice piece without attaching any of the optional hem pattern…… Continue reading Lou Box Top Maxi-Dress
