Welcome to the Plus Size Sewing Academy 🧵 This week we’re focusing on plus-size fit foundations : what actually makes garments fit curves correctly. Drop below: 1. Your sewing level 2. What you struggle with most when fitting plus-size bodies? I’ll tailor this week’s content around your answers.

Hey designers! 🧵✨ I’m planning an upcoming live sewing session where we’ll create an item from scratch — pattern → cutting → construction. Before I finalize the plan, I want your input. If there’s a garment you’d like to see made, please: 📸 Post an inspiration photo in the comments —or— 🧵 Create your own post if you can’t add photos here. This will help me plan the lesson properly and choose the best techniques to teach. For reference, I specialize in: • Ready-to-wear • Bespoke gowns (bridal, prom, formalwear) And yes — I currently have a LOT of prom gowns in production, so we can absolutely go in that direction too 😄 The floor is yours. Drop your ideas below 👇🏽
