This sad little closet needs more clothes!

If you haven’t had a chance, you’ll want to cruise over to The Curvy Sewing Collective.  You’ll find inspiration as the site owners band women together to create more of a curvy sewing blogging community. While there, you can read my post, “Post-partum Wardrobe Planning for a Closet Full of Me-Made Clothes.” While I spoke on the blog here some about my plans to sew a complete wardrobe, you’ll find entries on how I went about the planning process over there. The other ladies are fabulous as well – you’ll want to check out some of the recent posts including:

I know that it’s helpful to see what sewing projects look like (and what problems to expect) on people of all different shapes and sizes – and not just the models the companies give us – when choosing which patterns I will purchase and what projects I will work on. It’s also a great way to build confidence – because hey, we all have different bodies, and that’s a good thing. How boring would the world be if we all looked the same?

Many of the bloggers over there are people I’ve been following for some time, so I’m happy to highly recommend the site – not just because I’m contributing there, but also because I think it is a quality place to spend time.
