With all the Frankie excitement I forgot to post a picture of this second Dress No. 1 from @100actsofsewing of sewing that I made. This time I still sized up most of the pattern, but not the shoulders/arm openings. I actually chopped off about two inches from the top and it fits a lot better than the first. Sadly this crinkle rayon from Joann’s frayed like crazy, ejected all my pins, and snagged within 5 minutes of putting the dress on. But at only $6 a yard it was perfect to practice with. I feel like I am making good progress getting this pattern adjusted to fit me well and can see making a bunch of these in the future! #memade #memadefat #memadeplus #fatsewingclub #dressno1 #bernette #bernetteb77 #learningtosew #100actsofsewing #sharppointysticks #rainbows #plussizesewing #inclusivesewing https://www.instagram.com/p/CRoJ35DJ8ko/?utm_medium=tumblr

How am I supposed to have my “make it work” moment when my Tim Gunn is sleeping on the job? #100actsofsewing #dressno3 #bernette #fatsewingclub #memade #sewingproject #sewing #sharppointysticks #sew #cheatingonmyknittingwithsewing 🧵Pattern: @100actsofsewing Dress No. 3 (modifications - added belt from @creativebug tutorial and swapped the bias tape collar for a MacGyvered v-neck tshirt style collar) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChIFOOIr2QH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My sewing skills are still very, very basic, so I wanted to start with some super simple garments. So many people recommended #100actsofsewing Dress No. 1, but it will not quite fit me in the bust. I watched @thefatsqrrl’s episode on grading patterns and she made it look moderately easy… so here we go! #fatsewingclub #dressno1 #bernette #bernetteb77 #learningtosew https://www.instagram.com/p/CQCHez2Ji_y/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today’s stamp/mindless coloring doodle in hobonichi planner indicates that I intended to actually do a sewing project. I did! I traced and cut the pattern. The red line at the bottom is my modified length; this would be floor length otherwise and I like my dresses just above the knee. I left it uncut for now though, in case I change my mind. I wonder when I will actually cut the fabric? For those who want to know, I am making “dress no. 3” from 100 acts of sewing.
