I have a huge backlog of projects to blog, some still from last year. I do not want to take this into the new year, so I decided to write only short posts about them. Just for me for documentation. Here we go: Pattern: Cartagena Cami from ITS Fabric: stretch knit from my stash, fold-over-elastic […]

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 […]
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 […]
Itch to Stitch Lago Tank
I made a few items I haven’t blogged about yet. One of them is the Lago Tank, a free pattern from Itch to Stitch. Here I wear the top with my already very faded Angelia shorts in Bastia, Corsica, where we spend a lovely week end of October. I made the Lago Tank sometime during […]
Sinclair Patterns: Danielle Batwing Top
On a whim I applied for a pattern testing for Sinclair Patterns. I never sewed a Sinclair pattern before, so I was quite exited when I was chosen as a tester. The new pattern is the Danielle Batwing Top, a loose fitting top with tight cuffs and bottom band which allows to drape the top […]
Itch to Stitch: Arenal Top
Once more I have been testing for Itch to Stitch – this time the Arenal Top: a simple shirt featuring a V-neckline and a front yoke. As always with Itch to Stitch patterns you have different options: a regular or handkerchief hem and long or 3/4 quarter sleeves. The Arenal top is a real wardrobe staple. […]

Vienna Tank Top modified
Right after I made my first Vienna Tank top from Itch to Stitch I made a second one, this time however I changed the pattern. I eliminated the center front seam with the facings and made the top with a double layer. Fabric: The fabric is a mesh and quite sheer. When I ordered it […]
Itch to Stitch: Vienna Tank
When Kennis from Itch to Stitch called for a pattern testing I could not resist. I did need a break from my attempts to fit some Style Arc trousers and what better excuse than to sew a cute summer top. May I introduce the Vienna Tank: The Vienna Tank features a yoke with a neckband and tie […]
