Itch to Stitch

Itch to Stitch Lago Ad 300 x 300

I think for the most part, pants are considered harder to sew and fit than garments we sew for our upper half. I think getting started on making trousers can be hugely satisfying and there is a simple style out there that is perfect to start with. I’m […]

Matilda dress (Megan Nielsen). A shirt-dress sewn partially in reverse.

By Karina Trinidad on March 2, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )

I’d been eyeing the Matilda dress from Megan Nielsen patterns for months before purchasing the pattern and a whole year passed before I got around to sewing it. The reason? no special reason. I loved the design, but I am especially moody in my sewing and the inspiration […]

I’ve recently gone down the rabbit hole of Mc Call’s and Butterick patterns in their PDF versions. Not all the pattern have this option available, but most do and this is amazing for those of us who can’t access the paper patterns due to our country of residence. […]

The vast majority of denim jackets have a collar that is constructed in a very similar manner and this post hopes to inspire and simplify this process so you too can also sew these wardrobe staples. I have made this style of jacket many times and recently with […]

The Boyfriend Cardigan from Love Notions has a Women’s and a Girls version and they are exactly the same. The difference is the sizes, of course, but we sew them in exactly the same. In this post, you will see a little girl’s version I made for my […]
