A MUSING ABOUT THE FAT BODY, AND THE FEAR OF BEING PERCEIVED AS MORALLY
INCORRECT.

Posted on 15 December, 202315 December, 2023Author NataliePosted in Fat,
Feelings, Mental illness

Scopophobia is the morbid fear of being stared at. When you’re fat, you’re
stared at a lot.


WAISTCOAT REVIVAL WITH LEKALA #5954

Posted on 6 September, 2021Author NataliePosted in sewing

I’ve been watching a lot of CosTube lately, and feeling a strong urge to get
into vests I started my search for a plus sized waistcoat pattern. It appears
that they aren’t ~à la mode~ right now so the better pattern designers (who have
expanded or are expanding their size range) haven’t hopped aboard the…

THREE GILBERTS AND A CALDER.

Posted on 4 August, 2021Author NataliePosted in sewing1 Reply

I have wanted wide legged pants for ages and then Cashmerette swung into my
inbox with a 2 for 3 deal. The Calder pants were within my sight. The fabric I
wanted to use was from my old work, a mystery blend with great drape (definitely
think viscose is in the mix) and pesky checks…

I’M AN ARTIST AND I LIKE HOUSE DRESSES!

Posted on 31 July, 2021Author NataliePosted in sewing1 Reply

Today we’re looking at a pattern that I’m going to be making hundreds of, the
Artists House Dress by Artist Made Patterns. I was drawn to this design because
I’m on a big fluffy sleeve kick right now and the style looks so easy to wear.
The zip front wasn’t my favourite feature so I…

A GINGHAM DAVENPORT DRESS

Posted on 23 July, 2021Author NataliePosted in sewing1 Reply

My sewing frenzy continues apace, and today I’m showing off my Friday Pattern
Company Davenport dress. The gingham trend has not gone unnoticed and I was
pleased that Past Natalie had bought a length of cotton/ polyester navy gingham
a few years ago from my old work. I’m trying SO hard to whittle down my…

MAKING THE BAKERLOO.

Posted on 21 July, 202123 July, 2021Author NataliePosted in sewing

The moment I saw the Nina Lee Bakerloo dress I was besotted. You know, with That
collar. The large be-frilled collar that took all the earliest Millenials back
to their childhoods. I don’t even know if I owned any dresses or blouses with a
collar that fancy but it’s definitely in my memory as a…

JUMPSUIT JACK FLASH

Posted on 10 July, 2021Author NataliePosted in sewing

I have never worn a jumpsuit in my life. My long torso, short waist proportions
mean they have been perma-wedgie garments in my experience. Plus, shorts always
do a weird thing and ride up between my legs and I hate feeling stressed by my
clothes. So, I have avoided jumpsuits because even though they look…

A BIG FAT HYPOCRITE

Posted on 10 March, 202115 December, 2023Author NataliePosted in Fat, WLS WTF

Content warning: I will be discussing weight loss surgery and intentional weight
loss. “Have you thought about weight loss surgery?” I’ve been asked this
approximately 462,623 times in my colourful career as a 40 year old super fat
lady but it was this particular moment in my psychiatrist’s office in January
that got me. For…

LOSING MIFFY.

Posted on 25 August, 2020Author NataliePosted in Feelings, Life

We lost Miffy on Sunday. She had been showing signs of neurological distress in
recent weeks and had a terrible turn for the worst on Saturday night. As I
napped on Sunday morning after a 3am run to the vet hospital, I heard, “Natalie,
it’s time”. Nick has a habit of waking me up from…

I MADE A WAIKERIE DRESS: A MOUNTAIN WITCH MOOD.

Posted on 19 August, 202019 August, 2020Author NataliePosted in sewing

Hot off my success with the Waikerie shirt, I set out to obtain some drapey
rayon to transform into a dress using the Muna and Broad expansion pattern. Long
time readers may know that I deal with social anxiety and agoraphobia, so
setting out to go to a new fabric store was a Journey, but…
