Remember when I said that I would make the Davina dress in a wool knit? Plans have changed though when the fabric arrived. The knit is from Anita Pavani and it is lovely but it has onlysome mechanical stretch. So not a good match for the Davina dress pattern. Instead I decided to treat the […]
January bra: Merckwaerdigh BHS10 in lace
What better way to start off the New Year than with a new lingerie set! This is again my go-to pattern, the Merckwaerdigh BHS10 and three different panties: Watson Bikini, Milano Slip and Lacey Thong from Fehr Trade. I decided to use a well known pattern for the bra as I wanted to sew it […]

McCalls 6796
I lied when I said I would not sew anything before Christmas. I just could not stand it one weekend and sewed McCalls 6796. I made this pattern already last year and did not change anything except for the collar. I did not want to make the same collar, but did not like the second collar version […]

Itch to Stitch released three new patterns end of November, and I was happy enough to test them all. The first one I want to show you is the Liana Stretch Jeans pattern. This is a real winner. I wear my version nearly every day! This season is just not the best for taking pictures…. […]
