And we have lift-off! The Curvy Sewing Collective launches today!

07/15/2014

After months of work and planning,

The Curvy Sewing Collective now has a live website!!!

www curvysewingcollective.com
 

We have hope that our site will be a place where curvy sewists in the online sewing community can meet to share, learn and be inspired.  We have the beginnings of a knowledge base of tutorials and techniques plus pattern reviews from a plus size viewpoint and style inspiring posts.  In addition to informative and inspirational posts, we have a forum that you can join, too!  And if you want to be even more involved with the CSC, sign up to be a contributor!!

We hope you will join us as there will be even more awesome things to come like sewalongs and giveaways!

We also invite you to follow us on Facebook and Twitter!

    So excited about the Curvy Collective website. Just sent message to see if I can be on blogroll and also entered giveaway. There are so many useful things to explore already. I had seen other sewing groups on the web, but nothing struck me as meeting my needs. Those challenges curvy girls face with fitting, being proud of our bodies and the disappointments of clothes shopping. Thank you so muck!!! xxxx

        Ha – laughing about writing “muck”instead of “much”- but since you are a farm girl you’d be used to a bit of muck! xxx

      I find making my own fashion to be very empowering! I hope others do as well.
