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 North Point Trousers
This is also an old project from last year. I participated in the testing for the North Point Trousers from Itch to Stitch. The North Point Trousers feature the classically sleek straight leg silhouette, a medium rise and curve through hip and thigh, ankle length, contour waistband, front slanted pockets, back single-welt pockets and a […]
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 […]
2017 Sewing Year in Review
A Happy New Year to all of you! Hopefully you are not yet tired of reading “year in review” posts. I am a bit late, but due to our move I am still unpacking boxes and trying to get rid of the chaos. I had hoped to catch up and blog all projects from 2017, […]
I am moving
I hope you all had a lovely holiday and spent a few quite days with your family. I was at my mother’s as every year, but returned one day earlier, as we are moving into a new flat on the 29th. This is also the reason why it was so quite here. Besides work there […]
