Itch to Stitch: Liana Stretch Jeans

Itch to Stitch Idyllwild Hack and Birthday Party
Hi everybody, I always wanted to make the Idyllwild Top with a V-neck instead of the scoop neck that comes with the pattern. I just like the look of V-necks better on me. So as Kennis from Itch to Stitch asked me if I would like to hack one of her patterns for her birthday […]
Itch to Stitch: Davina Dress in Red and Blue

Fabric: I used a cotton eyelet and underlined […]

Itch to Stitch Jacqueline Hoodie and Giveaway
Kennis from Itch to Stitch called for pattern testers for the Jacqueline Hoodie two weeks ago, and I could not resist. This hoodie has so cute details that make it special.
