Hooray! I love to see new Simplicity patterns.
Love the shirt dress option and the wrap! One of my favorite dresses was a black wrap from Lane Bryant. This pattern goes up to 32W.
Nice options for the office. This one goes up to 28W.
Hi! My name is Jennifer. I’m big and crafty. I’m also tired of seeing only itty-bitty crocheted bikinis, cropped sweaters, and skinny clothes when I look for knitting, crochet and sewing patterns. Give me a break!
I made this site because I want to see all of the plus-size patterns options in one place. I don’t actually have time to craft much since I work full time and have a toddler. But I love to fantasize about what I would make if it did have the time.
I hope you find this site useful. Please send me any feedback - it will help me focus my efforts. I work on this site in the mornings before I go to the office. By day I’m Director of Product Design (basically Interaction Design or “making things easy to use”) for an online advocacy solutions company. In the evenings I chase my toddler around the house to get my daily dose of laughs and giggles.
I have a personal blog at blueskyday.com.
Take care,
Jennifer
I just wanted to thank you for all your efforts in finding plus-sized patterns for the rest of us. Keep up the good work! I recently discovered that virtually all of Vermont Fiber Designs patterns go up to 6x, and they have some beautiful ones! Check out their website: http://www.vermontfiberdesigns.com/patterns/women/index.php . I really love #116, the cable & garter stitch turtleneck.
I made the dress 3804 — the one which goes over to the side, though I made mine longer. I am a strictly novice sewer, but it went together easily and is beautiful!
and yes, you can use less fabric than it calls for. I made it work in 5 yards.
I am looking for plus sized patterns in dresses like patio dress styles or muumuus. Simple and roomy.
Thanks. LM
