It’s been a long time since I last tested a pattern for Itch to Stitch. I either missed the testing call or I did not like the design. This time, however, neither happened, and here is the newest dress pattern, the Sovana dress. The dress has a fitted bodice and an A-line skirt with or […]
Dress
Shirtdress
In the second online class I took at Marchionna Couture, we sewed a shirtdress. Again, the material and pattern were included. Special features of this dress are the tabs and the handmade belt. In front, the dress has large patch pockets. The facing at the hem is stitched several times so that the skirt has […]
Itch to Stich Kalispell Dress
My nephew will have his first communion end of April and I decided that I need a new dress for the occasion. I made this decision already end of last year and originally planned to sew Vogue 1196. Somehow I procrastinated this project again and again and end of February I only had a muslin […]

Itch to Stitch Chai Shirt & Dress
Shirt dresses are popping up everywhere at the moment and I had one on my todo list for quite a while. When I saw the Chai dress from Kennis from Itch to Stitch I was sold and applied for the testing without second thought. The dress features a classic collar with collar stand, close fitting […]
Itch to Stitch Anza Jumpsuit and Dress

So I coud not resist and applied for the testing. The Anza comes as jumpsuit or dress and features an elastic waist, pockets, cuffed sleeves […]
Winterdress
I did need a lot of patience for this dress. I started back in February last year, hoping I could finish it before winter was gone. Alas, this did not happen, and when the weather warmed up I was not in the mood of sewing a warm woolen winterdress. So it sat in my sewing […]
Work in progress: Vogue 8667
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 […]
Itch to Stitch: Davina Dress in Red and Blue
By now you can say that I have become an Itch to Stitch addict. When Kennis announced her new pattern and called for testers, I had to sign up. This dress has everthing I like: Fitted bodice, flared skirt, pockets. And it is for knit fabrics, so fitting issues are reduced and it will be […]
