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

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
