Hello there!

My name is Aaronica and I'm the sewist behind The Needle and the Belle. I started sewing when I was 13 and then fell back in love with sewing through PDF patterns. I now document my pieces I make here!

Instagram post 17842577791805332 My @madeformermaids Claire in action that I made last week. I love how the Claire has the option to wear the faux wrap in the front or back—swipe left to see the back. . . . . . . . #sewing #sewit #sewfab #sewist #sewincolor #pocwhosews #mesewpretty #tntbsews #sewcreative #sewingproject #isew #memade #custommade #plussizefashion #diyfashion #handmadefashion #seamstress #homesewn #diystyle #fashionsewing #curvygirl #diy #sewingwithstyle #diywardrobe #plussize #sewinglifestyle #curvyseamstress #plussizesewing
Instagram post 18081766111142959 My daughter and her bestie are heading to Wicked today so naturally that means new dresses that MATCH! . I used the @petitestitchery Rory dress + Opal tights to make these looks come to life. Fabric is from @prettyposhprintscali last year.
Instagram post 17939514808311235 I’ve been in a weird space the last couple days. Being black in America is really hard. There are so many days I just want to be seen as a human being worthy of being welcomed in all the spaces my white counterparts are. And there are days i feel like it. . And then there are days like this week where people justify the use of blatant racist and sexist terms defending the words tirelessly. And then women of color are reminded that we are merely tolerated in most of these spaces—told to sit in a corner and be quiet. Not welcomed. Not respected. . There aren’t safe spaces for us in a world determined to see us as less than... we’re all just Hotentot Venus’ to be stared at, gawked at, intriguing people with our beauty but ultimately, nothing more than a fetish. . But I won’t let that break me. I won’t let it stop my love of sewing or fabrics or fighting for what’s right. Many thanks to the groups like @petitestitchery who are loud about not allowing racist, homophobic, sexist, or any of that in their spaces. . That’s all I’ve got right now.
Instagram post 17843027911785397 I’ve always love over-the-knee highs but courtesy of my life-saving thighs, I could never find any that fit! Thank goodness for @petitestitchery and the Opal pattern! Fabric is sweater knit from @bohofabrics. . Link is in my bio to grab yours.
Instagram post 17849574601697229 Last weekend I attended @atlantafrocktails and wore this super dope outfit that I made 2 hours prior to arriving. I was surrounded by my people in the most epic way. . As I promised them, I would share the pattern once it released well, here it is!!!! It’s the new Ruby (how fitting) from @petitestitchery. The link for this is in my bio! . I loved meeting both @sarcasticsewist and @sewsewstacie and @creativelyk.nicole for the first time too! . Fabric is from @ssefabrics and is the modal Ponte which is a DREAM. . Go grab the pattern!
Instagram post 17842132252802359 I’ve been working on building a wardrobe that was filled with quality pieces that can be mixed and matched seamlessly. . This @halfmoonatelier La Brea tee made from the @stonemountainfabric Silk Noil in Nutmeg is PERFECTION! After chatting with @ftmom3 about sewing with wovens, I did a French Seam on this and that small detail makes such a difference! . What are some of the must-haves for your wardrobe?
Instagram post 17842017499792507 Thick thighs save lives and mine are out here performing miracles in the newest @petitestitchery pattern that’s about to be released! . I used a sweater knit I got from @bohofabrics in one of the sweater boxes to make these! . #PSCO #PSHoliday2019 #PSOpal
Instagram post 17908746991374080 Another chilly day, another picture of me in my @ssefabrics Boston Cardigan. I’ve paired it with my tester @madeformermaids Tai bodysuit, my new @patternsforpirates Fierce panties, high-waisted flares from @aeropostale and my fave shoes from @lottafromstockholm. . My little guy is sporting his Jolly Roger Raglan fro@ @patternsforpirates in a French Terry from @frecklefabrics I made him last year.
Instagram post 17868997615509045 Bra making is not my strength and I ALWAYS procrastinate making them. But this time Nicole from @patternsforpirates gave me a pep talk and I got out of my head to make this super dope Fierce Bra and Panty set. . It’s now on sale at patternsforpirates.com . Fabric: Bra - @joann_stores performance fabric Panties - @ssefabrics cotton lyrca for the front and lace for the back
