I need some new bras and has I haven’t sewn bras for a long time now I thought I start with something easy, the Barrett bralette from Madalynne Intimates. This is one of her free patterns, and I like how it looks with the little cut-out in the center front. Bonus: it is especially for […]
I found my pattern!
When I cleaned my sewing room the other day, guess what I found under a stash of UFOs? Yes, the pattern I drafted for my Kate Spade/Emily Thorne inspired top. And I just want to share it with you. Here ist the front, not yet finished. You can see how I deleted the bust dart, […]
Itch to Stitch Dana Point Top
When Kennis from Itch to Stitch asked who would like to test her new pattern, the Dana Point Top, I could not resist. We still were in the midst of the heat wave and I was in need for sleeveless tops that are work appropriate. The Dana Point Top fits the bill perfectly. With the […]
Kate Spade / Emily Thorne inspired top
Maybe you remeber that last year I participated in the TV show and film sewalong. Well, I didn’t met the deadline. I had a wrong date in mind and when I realized my mistake I didn’t want to rush through the project. I finished a few weeks later, though. I love the style from Emily […]

Itch to Stitch Visby Henley Top
This is the first complete project I made this year, the Visby Henley Top from Itch to Stitch. The Visby Henley Top is a raglan top with different options: with or without placket, with or without hoodie, and with or without band. I made view A, with placket. The placket was the reason why I […]
T-Shirt Bergen
This is a small project I made last summer. I am in great need of simple T-shirts, and I have a good fitting pattern (the ITS Idyllwild), but I was reluctant to start. Plain simple T-shirts are a bit boring. So when I read a review of the book “Alles Jersey” I was intrigued because […]
Itch to Stitch Bellavista Top
I participated in one last testing before I had to pack away my sewing machine for the move. It is the Bellavista Top from Itch-to-Stitch. The Bellavista Top comes in a comfortable swing bodice with a center-front panel. It also comes with two neck options and two sleeve options. I choose the cowl neck and long […]
