In full disclosure, I am not much of a Tank Top wearer but when Gabriela designs a pattern, I have to need to try it! So I went ahead and made a Pony Tank and then a dress version as well. Who knows I might be turning into a tank top wearer after all. The…
So this week, I had a fun opportunity to participate in a pattern test for Sansahash Designs where the fabric for the test was provided by So Sew English Fabrics. The latest pattern by Mgeni, the designer at the newly started Sansahash Designs is the Lilah Top and Dress. It is a simple empire waisted dress that…
I am so excited to finally be able to share my Anza Dress with you. It is the third Itch to Stitch pattern I am testing (You can see my Arenal tops here and my Newport Tops here) and I am still in awe of Kennis's impeccable drafting and fine tutorial. The Anza dress and…
Another amazing pattern release by Chalk and Notch Patterns. The Farrah dress is beautiful, and feminine and ruffly. It comes in two distinct views one - super cute version with ruffle sleeves and a super stylish version with a front ruffle. Both have a high-low hem with side slit detail. I made both versions and…

It has adorable dolman sleeves with ruffles. The A line tee and dress come in regular and high-low hem…

Yay!! Have you seen the Trevi top yet? Isn't it Ah-mazing?!!! I fell out of my chair when I got the email asking if I'd like to test this pattern. Like to? whaaaat?!! of course I'd love to. Adrianna's patterns are one of the best out there! I blogged about my love for my Union…
Hello and welcome to my stop on the Breaking Ground Blog Tour! The theme behind this tour hosted and organized by Melissa Evans of Mahlica Designs is that, we would be breaking ground by sewing a pattern new to us, or attempting something new - a new style, fabric, garment type, something that is new to us.…
I have only ever tested and tried two of Itch to Stitch patterns, and can I say I am a fan?! Kennis's pattern drafting is exceptionally good and instructions top notch.
