I was looking for a new hairstyle. Good luck trying to find any pictures of women over 23 when googling hair styles. So frustrating.

It’s challenging and uncomfortable for me, too, but our demographic needs more representation! I love your outfit photos, and you always look great!

I LOVE “Me made may” and have done it for a few years now. I do find it awkward having my body on Instagram and trying not to be self-conscious about that but it’s such a great service to other sewers out there to see what patterns people are making and wearing and how they are doing that. I often find great things I’d not seen before and its so great when you find someone a similar size and shape and can see what is working on them. I thought I might post a few times instead of every day as I’ve done before, but i think I might just jump in and keep going again. Day 3 and enjoying the ride again.
