Just wanted to finish it. Not that I thought I would need one more 😆😆 but, I do need more than one bikini. Therefor will I sew a matching bikini buttom to this green top.
I am between sizes, the sizes you find in the stores 🤪 . Their for it’s easier to sew something that fits my body. Their for adjustment is nessesary. Try it on my body to know it fits and I dislike to go shopping and trying things on.
I sew to challenges myself to become better but also offcourse to be able to have clothing that fits my tall body!
I found another bikini top 😆 and going to finish that too, but this one will have a twist 😊.
To be 6’2 ( or 189cm) doesn’t come with just happiness just because I am tall, as most people are jealous on. No it comes with a lot more challenges. We who are taller than 5’10 have the challenges to find clothes long enough or fit all the other curvers, weight, longer upper torso than legs or the opposite. Not something we find in a normal clothing store! (It is easier to be shorter because you can shorten clothes than make one item longer!)
Most of my tall friends buy clothes in online stores that has started their own business just because they never found clothes for their body or in online stores that has been approached to get clothes for tall people. I do too, mostly for Jeans and sweaters.
Sewing is not just a hobby for me, as many of my friends and students asks. No it’s more than that! It is mostly to be able to get clothes my style and learn to sew 🧵✂️my wardrobe 😊. But it also is to save the planet. If we sew, we can choose the fabric. Use what we already have and redesign it into upcycling or choose naturally fabric we know is good for the environment!
