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 Lago Tank
I made a few items I haven’t blogged about yet. One of them is the Lago Tank, a free pattern from Itch to Stitch. Here I wear the top with my already very faded Angelia shorts in Bastia, Corsica, where we spend a lovely week end of October. I made the Lago Tank sometime during […]
Itch to Stitch: Arenal Top

Itch to Stitch: Vienna Tank
When Kennis from Itch to Stitch called for a pattern testing I could not resist. I did need a break from my attempts to fit some Style Arc trousers and what better excuse than to sew a cute summer top. May I introduce the Vienna Tank: The Vienna Tank features a yoke with a neckband and tie […]
