The Curvy Sewing Collective site launches today!


Man, it’s been hard keeping this under wraps…. 


I am super excited to let you know that the Curvy Sewing Collective website, www.curvysewingcollective.com launches today! 


As Cashmerette readers are no doubt already well aware, Mary and I dreamt up the idea this Spring, and teamed up with Laurence, Tanya, Mary, T and Sophie-Lee to form the CSC.  After our successful Curvy Colette blog tour, the whole gang decided we should take it even further, by setting up a new one-stop resource for curvy sewists, covering topics such as pattern reviews for curvy figures, tutorials on common fitting adjustments, body confidence and positivity articles, and inspiration from the sewing world and beyond. 

We want it to be an inclusive community, so you can participate in forums, or submit your own blog post for inclusion – the more folks the better! Have a different body shape to any member of the collective? Tell us about how you do fitting! Have a specific need like maternity wear or lingerie-making? Suggest a topic or write a post! We’re hoping that the site will have a life of its own and will become a really useful resource for curvy sewists. It is truly a labour of love for all of us, and we’re so glad to be able to launch it. 

What’s already on the site? Why, we have (among other things): 

My curvy fashion idol, Gabi Gregg:


Sleeve fitting help from T: 

How to adjust sleeves for curvy biceps


– Reviews of plus size dress forms from Tanya:


A gorgeous TNT review by Mary: 


AND MORE!

And is if that weren’t enough, we also have a super exciting giveaway. So head on over to the site, and let us know what you think!
