Welcome!

Hello current and future sewists*!  
Welcome to Femme FatSew!



I cannot put into words the excitement I feel about getting this blog going.  It is a dream of mine to share my passion with the world - or at least a few readers.

My name is Femma.  I'm a Midwestern crafty femme who not too long ago had no idea had to sew.  

I grew up with a sewing mother.  She could whip out a dress in no time.  She sewed linens, curtains, clothing, and even outfits for my dolls.  I also wanted to be like her, but I never seemed to be able to pick it up.

But as an adult I kept at it.  I sewed some pretty ugly things on my path to success.  It was all part of the learning process!

And here I am, 27, with my very own sewing machine, about to open up an Etsy store full of my own creations.  I want to pass some of my passion and knowledge on to you!

Femme FatSew is a place where you can find helpful sewing tips, great project ideas, sewing 101's, pattern reviews, and more!  You'll also learn more about the Esty shop FemmeFatSew, which sells delicious handmade clothing for sizes 14-30+!

Everyone is welcome here, whether you’ve sewn all your life or are still terrifying of your sewing machine.

Thank you so much for following, and look forward to many posts in the future!


*Sewist is a term that combines ‘sewing’ with ‘artist’.
