Itch to Stitch Sentosa Tank Top

Madalynne Roxie Bralette
Some weeks ago I made the Roxie bralette from Madalynne. I was always unsure if I should buy this pattern or not. I finally gave in when smallbobbins had a discount when buying the pattern together with a fabric kit. Fabric All fabric is from a Roxie bralette kit from smallbobbins. As I chose the […]
A white-lilac Maya set
Bras are quite fast to sew, so here is another Maya bra from Afi Atelier with some matching panties I made. This one is again made with non-stretch lace and lined with sheer cup lining.

Pillowcase
My husband has an additional pillow that he uses when reading in bed. It always bothered me that I did not have a matching pillowcase. So some time ago I bought neutral fabrics and finally sewed two pillowcases last weekend. To get my pattern I traced around the shape of the pillow. I cut this […]
A study in black
Following “A study in scarlet” by Sherlock Holmes, I made a study in black. To properly understand the difference in construction and appearance between a regular bikini brief and a boyshort brief, I sewed them both from the same fabric and with the same design: very simple in the front, the leg opening in the […]
