Time for a Black Friday Sale!!!!!

 


Check out my etsy store for deals, deals, deals!!!

So...who wants a vagina pillow? You know you do.

 Hi all!

I would ask how everyone is doing during this time, but man, ain't you tired of people asking that?

Things have been good, and bad, and unfair and infuriating but all in all I'm glad that as writing this, no-one in my family has had to deal with COVID directly.

For the most part, I'm scrambling to save money for when the rent moratorium is over. Though people have that reprieve, those of us gig workers still feel a weight approaching at the start of the new year.

Yay...

But I am picking up a few gigs, so please send me good thoughts on that. 

I'm still making patters (I'll never stop) when I'm not up at 3 am sewing to pay rent. *crazy eyes*

And, I decided to give myself a mental health day and get something out of my head that I've been having in it for years.

I am around a lot of creative and artistic types and I finally, finally decided to formulate a lot of what I have been given from them and push some of my more subversive ideas out into a store.

So here it is.

Right now I'm starting with the Vagina Pillows, but once things begin to normalize, I plan on taking on more couture BDSM sewing projects and see where that goes too! I had no idea the demand for the costuming was so high. Plus, the people I've talked to are so nice! It's gonna be a fun extension of my sewing skills.



So!

If you want a pillow for the holidays, or know someone who does,

then take a look at my store,

Oh! I got so much going on!

I miss regular blogging. I think I'll get my ass in gear.

Talk to you all soon! Byeeeeeeeeeeeee.




Some new goodies listed in my etsy store!

Hi all!
Hope you all are doing good.
Me? Sewing and pattern making and pulling my hair out. Gotta make that rent, ha!

Just wanted to let you all know I've listed a few new hand made clothing pieces in my etsy shop.
Take a look.
Thanks!

The Danielle is available!


The 1940s Yoke dress is available in PDF in my Etsy store. This one turned out so well! I'm really happy with it.
The paper patterns are at the printers right now and should be shipped
back to me by the end of the week.
I have two more patterns in the mock up stage so more to come soon!

Thanks!

A few more bags I made! I'm on a roll!

I made some more bags! These are quilted, super sturdy, and outfitted with some cute fabric.
Back to my sewing machine!




Pick up a vintage fabric tote bag from my etsy store!

Hello lovely people.
I hope your week will be amazing and filled with greatness.

I'm attempting to hope the same for myself, but things be trying, yo.
But I did manage to make something.
I'm trying my had a some limited edition runs in between patterns.

This first time I made a pattern and produced 10 amazing tote bags. I designed the pattern and made each one myself. Each one is unique, and made with vintage fabric from my personal stash!



These bags are great for everyday running, grocery shopping, or going to the beach.


This coming month is gonna be another hard one for me. I hope to be able to tell you about a few of the trials soon, but if you can buy a tote bag, it would help me out like you wouldn't believe.


More coming from me soon.

Have a great week!

The Kevin-John is available!

Hi all,
My new pattern, The Kevin-John is available for PDF in my etsy store.
If you wouldn't mind sharing it around the tubal interwebs, I would greatly appreciate it.
Sharing is caring!



I'm prepping the paper patterns for the printer now and those should be available by the end of the month.

Thanks so much for the support. On to more pattern making!

1940s style halter top recreation.

Hi everyone!

Hope your week was good and you are gearing up for the weekend!
I am so booked this weekend, going to a vegan festival tomorrow, working, and seeing friends.

One friend I saw this past week asked me to help her with her costume for her dance performance at Camp Hollywood this weekend. She's part of the JR LA  Shag team and she needed to have a top remade to work with her partner's costume.

She brought in this rayon halter that was super cute and with a few modifications (because the new fabric was cotton) I drafted a pattern off the blouse and was able to make her blouse.

The fabric I got to work with was this cute Hawaiian/Tiki novelty print with these super tan surfer boys!

The Amy pattern is available!

Hello lovely people.

My latest repro pattern, The Amy, is now available for paper pre-order in my Etsy store, or the available PDFs are up and ready for purchase. Sizes range from 40 bust to 60 bust! W00T

The pattern is a very simple economical early-mid 40s style with scalloped sleeve options and a hart-shaped neckline. It's ideal for a beginner sewer.

Check it out, tell a friend, and yay sewing!


Don't forget to check out my other social media and be sure to tell your friends!

What Have I been up to!

Man, oh man!

Times, they sure have been busy for me. Gotta hustle for that cash, yo. You know how it is.
You all know about my sewing for the costume makers, Anovos, but I have also been in the interwebs media a bit too!

I know these are a little late in mentioning, because, gotta do that hustle, yo, but they did make me quite proud to be in them and I wanted to share them with you.

I was interviewed for last month's Jan/Feb issue of Sewn magazine! It was an awesome spread, you here is the cover for the issue I was featured in. I know, I know I am so late, and I apologize, but know that I just gots the works ahead of me.


Also, earlier last year, I was contacted with data that I was one of the most popular plus size sewing blogs in the internet!

I used to be #4 but again, the hustle, yo! I'll get back up there as I get more posts into the blog. I'm sure you lovely people will help to get me up there too!


Let's see, what else have I been up to? Not much aside from working on sewing and creating my plus size patterns! My update website is in the cue, and I hope to get that started this month, so I can begin selling patterns on my own site instead of 3rd party sellers. 

I also plan to offer wholesale pricing for the paper patterns once I get a few more patterns in stock, so international buyers won't have to pay monster shipping when they can buy it local from other indie pattern sellers. More info on that later, so if you are a reseller, reach out to me on the next time I post about this and I'll give you my price list on the patterns.

Whew! So much stuff.

Thanks all for putting up with me. I often feel like I drop the ball sometimes with all I have to do to keep my head above water, but I'm glad I have this community to feel good about it all.

Thanks!

Working on my new repro, The Gibson

Hello lovely people.

the pattern making is mad crazy over here. Got The Deidra all ready and as soon as it comes back from the printer, the paper version will be in the hands of those that want it (hopefully everyone).

The next pattern in the line is a 1910 walking ensemble I've named The Gibson. It consists of a blouse and walking skirt that I modified to work with a larger body.


Take a look at one of the mock ups. Sausage, my 44 bust dress form is modeling.


Going back into the fray with this today. Wish me luck!
Yay Sewing!

Pre-Order the paper The Deidra sewing pattern now!

Hello!



The Deidra is available for Pre-Order in it's paper form now. If you want to be in the first batch of printing, go a head and make an order.

I'm clearing out my sewing area for the new pattern work I'm going to be doing in 2017 and all my old NVL women's paper patterns are on fire sale! Priced below cost, really! I just want the space. 
They are all ready to go!

My repro line is going PDF!

To cut down on costs, paper, shipping and a whole host of other stresses, I'm converting my current pattern line into print at home PDF files available in my ETSY store. Right now I have  two available and more this week.


There are no plans for multi-sizing right now, but in the distant future…perhaps. 



But if you are interested in a pattern now, let me know and I'll move it to the top of the conversion list.

Thanks!
