HEY THERE!
I’m Stephanie and I’m a plus size sewing blogger, technical illustrator, and the creator of #taggedbysteph sewing labels.
I fell in love with fashion and sewing when I took sewing lessons as a kid. For years I struggled with self confidence, unable to find fun and fashion-forward options for my plus-size self.
Those lessons quickly taught me that I could create clothes that fit my personality, likes, and body better than almost anything that could be found in stores.

I definitely could’ve finished quicker than that had I had my serger on-hand since I managed to whip this out at my boyfriend’s using the time-consuming stretch stitch on my machine after realizing that they were due a day sooner than I had planned on and panic-sewing.
