You may have seen a bit of a blogger buzz about a new website called The Curvy Sewing Collective. Its a new website ran by a great group of sewing bloggers with pattern reviews, fitting advice and general sewing and confidence advice, aimed at a plus size body shape.
I've written a few posts for the site now, mostly focussing on fitting and sewing the Fehr Trade Duathlon leggings.
Activewear 101: Patterns and Fabric
Activewear 101: Leggings 1- Fitting
Activewear 101: Leggings 2 - Pattern adjustments
Activewear 101: Leggings 3 - Sewing
The site is skewed towards more curvier sizes but I do think a fitting adjustment is the same no matter what your size. So please check it out and hopefully you might find some of the articles helpful next time you are doing a fitting.
Thanks for the heads up, I wasn't aware of it. I'll head over now! Being very pear shaped- fitting is so hard on my lower half!
ReplyDeleteThis site is so overdue. I am so glad it is happening and I wish it lots of success. With continued posts like yours it will definitely be around for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your posts! Pants can be so intimidating! Leggings are a great place to start.
