When sewing leads to self-love

It is with great pleasure that we announce the release of the book "sewing body positive", written by a round blogger that we have been following for a very long time: the sparkling Ninaah bubbles! In the bookstore since June 2, 2021, it shows us to what extent sewing allows us to free ourselves from the straitjacket of society and finally accept ourselves as we are. Focus on this book which will be one of our summer readings with a specific objective: to sew our first garment for the beginning of the year 2021!

Display unique creations to highlight your curves

All women over size 48 will be unanimous on this: it can be very complicated to dress in a shop. Large shelves are almost non-existent or offer mostly large, poorly cut and untrendy clothing. We then have 2 solutions: the high-end ready-to-wear, if our portfolio allows. Or go shopping on the Internet, without having the pleasure to try!

Ninaah bubbles and Editions La Plage offer us an alternative that has more than seduced us! Since the first confinement, there has been an unprecedented craze for sewing. So far "reserved" for our grandmothers, sewing your own clothes has become cooler than ever. What's more, it allows us to display unique and tailor-made creations to highlight our curves.

Quand la couture mène à l’amour de soi

"sewing body positive" is part of the popular movement that bears the same name. Appearing on social networks in 2016, he defends self-acceptance and, above all, advocates a diversity of morphologies. If large mannequins (like Ashley Graham) now have their place on the podium, it's another pair of sleeves for all ordinary women who want to dress in a shop while at the same time looking at a size 48 and above!.

Proof that there is still a long way to go before the cult of slimming is finally behind us. So that brands can finally understand that it's fashionable to serve women, not the other way around! And it may well be that body positive sewing gives ideas to createur.trice.s or creates vocations...

"body positive sewing": a complete guide accessible even to debutantes

It was in 2011 that Ninaah bubbles started sewing for fun. In 2013, she decided to become involved in the positive body movement. Meanwhile, sewing has become a way for her to accept and learn to love her body. She is also a means of expression that allows her to dress in her own style.

Today, she creates almost 100% of her wardrobe herself! And through her book "sewing body positive", she simply wants to show that sewing is a true body acceptance therapy, far from the dictates of fashion. A breath of fresh air!

Ninaah also informs us about the types of fabrics that should be favoured and where to find them. In short, everything it takes to become a self-taught sewing machine and become a true queen of the sewing machine!.
