Hi! I am Andrea. I am plus size and I'm hoping to build a better relationship with my body through wearing clothes that I love that feel good on my body! Who is someone who inspired you to dress how you wanted to, not how you were expected to?

Hi, my name is Parker and I am a plus size transman with sensory issues and a strong sense of what i like (dinosaurs, punk ideals, stars, the color green, doing stuff outside, and food). If i can make my entire wardrobe gender affirming, sensory safe, and THEMED, I'm going to. I've already started and things look good but they arent sturdy, and the ones that are sturdy arent sensory safe and are upsetting to wear for long periods of time. Just learned the french stitch from your tik tok and my seams are already looking better!

Hello! I'm Aliecea, but please call me Ali. I learned how to sew but hand at age 6 from my great grandmother. I continued my skills and in 7th grade learned how to machine sew. I have let my skills fall and have recently gotten back into sewing. I am currently trying to make myself a wrap dress. How do I read a pattern? I'm so lost as it's my first pattern.

Hi! I’m Jessica. I’ve had an on-and-off again relationship with sewing for a long time, but have picked it up again this past year to have a more sustainable relationship with my clothes.

What tips do you have around sewing machine etiquette? Like making sure the tension is right, etc.

How do you best hand large projects, like dresses? I seem to get overwhelmed quickly by the scope/size, as my cutting/sewing table is pretty small.

Hi I'm Kristal. I live in Los Angeles and work in animation. I want to learn to make my own clothes because the style options for plus size clothing are extremely limited. Especially as someone that doesn't want to dress extremely femme or masc. I want something in the middle with some asian street-style flair.

I have a tiiiiiny bit of experience, but still really shy about tackling big projects. But any tips for plus size construction (and making things sturdy) would be awesome.

Hi there! I’m Angela from Columbus Ohio. I am a beginner when it comes to sewing. I have had a great time repurposing old towels, sheets, curtains etc. that would end up in the landfill.

Question: What needle and thread would you suggest for sewing denim?

👋 I’m Noël and I’m getting back into sewing after a hiatus and love your videos. My mom used to make our clothes when I was a kid and it’s something I’ve always wanted to do as an adult.

Questions: I saw this jean pullover in an ad and I want to replicate it. Any tips?

Hi!!! I started sewing when I was in elementary school but then stopped and now I'm in my 30's picking it back up again! What are some of your favorite pieces to make? Where are your favorite places to get patterns? What is your favorite tool in your sewing room that isn't your sewing machine or serger

Hi, I'm Ashley! The last time I sewed was in 6th grade home-ec class, but I've been seeing some wonderful patterns and I want to make clothes that fit! My question would be, if I'm a total beginner, what things should I be watching for in buying my first sewing machine?
