I didn't want to lie and make it seem like my Reed Trousers were a success. They were not and I have A LOT of feelings surrounding this. This was my first month and time leading the Sew My Style Challenge and I was really excited. When I was asked to lead, I had all...
I’ve never made men’s trousers before but I’m kicking off July with Sew My Style with the Reed Trousers. But first, I’ve got to choose some fabric!
Living through a pandemic means lots of dressing down. Here are my fave plus-size loungewear patterns that are also pretty chic as well!
It's been about 2 years since I've made a top that has the cute back like this one here. When I first made them, I swore my brain was broken! I couldn't figure out the knot part at all. Needless to say, I've practiced a lot and can now whip these up pretty quickly....

Yes, I realize that I have put up zero posts in between this week and the last Sunday Lately. I'm using Katy from Wild and Wanderful's prompts weekly as the reminder that this site exists for a reason. Sewing and creating is my passion. While this site does generate...
I can't believe how long it's been since I've written over here!!! Not writing isn't for a lack of pieces or information to share either! At the end of last year I was a sewing and working fool and just didn't have time to document all the things that I wanted...
Hey friends! In case you missed it, my name is Aaronica and I'm a plus sized sewist living in Atlanta. It's taken me about 3 years to finally accept that I am indeed a seamstress and sewist (the new age term) but now I almost fully embrace it. A Little Bit Of...
