Hello friends! By now you have probably heard about or seen the amazingness that is the Fringe Pattern by Chalk and Notch Patterns. Not so long ago, when I first saw the tester call for the Fishtail Kimono, I had to stop and apply for the pattern test for this new pattern designer Gabriela. Both…
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…
Last week, we got to test the Schooner Tee and Dress by Jennuine Designs. I love Jenn's patterns. I find them unique and one of a kind! The Schooner Tee is exactly that, the design is quite genius. It has adorable dolman sleeves with ruffles. The A line tee and dress come in regular and high-low hem…
This was one pattern test I didn't actually jump in nor was I planning to! Jeans and top stitching and fitting adjustments were not something I felt ready for at this point. Somewhere in my vague sewing plans, jeans were going to be part of 2018. But when Marisa really needed testers in my size,…
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…
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. But my favorite part really is how well the garments lay. Both my Arenal tops are among my favorites and something that I always reach for…
Last week, I got to test the Sahara Top and Dress by Bella Sunshine Designs. It's a fantastic knit dress pattern - simple, elegant and playful! What I love most about this pattern though is the fit, from the beautiful scoop in the back to the fit across the chest, it is complete perfection! The Sahara…

Ohhh I have been waiting for the Women's Constance for so long. Ever since I made the girl's version for my daughter (reviewed here) I have been hoarding the remnants in the hope that some day they'd end up as Constance Tops and dresses for me. My prayers have been answered! Well! its either that,…
