Hello!
Welcome to my newest little side tumblr. The Sewing Lobby is a corner I hope to fill with sewing resources, project mood boards, WIPs, and finished projects. I want to use this space for my own reference and inspiration as much as I’d like to (hopefully!) engage with sewists online. I’m starting this here because, tbh, my sewing Instagram makes me miserable more often than not and!!!! I think I deserve better than that.
A little about me: I’m a 20-something living in Washington, DC. I used to work in ✨ government relations ✨ as an analyst, which is another way of saying that I worked with a lot of lobbyists and decided that, no way in hell was a job in politics for me. I’m currently in grad school and picked up sewing as an outlet (as many did) during the pa-mamma-mia. I got into sewing because I was frustrated that I plus-sized clothes that A) aligned with my personal style and B) fit well. I’m still a beginner, but I hope that I’ll be able to add some pieces to my wardrobe that make me happy and bring me confidence. Outside of sewing, I live in an apartment with my boyfriend and my cat, Roz. She’s small and angry, but I love her beyond reason.
My style is a little all over the place, but in my fantasies I own an incredible studious/punk wardrobe (think, dark academia but loves glam rock). My current long-ish term goal is to make a pair of looooong trousers (which will then clear my skin, help me sleep better at night, etc. etc.).
I haven’t explored much of the sewist space on Tumblr but I’m happy to be here regardless! Thanks for stopping by.
xoxo
