This tutorial is meant to accompany the instructions of the Atenas Jacket. Similar to all other Itch to Stitch patterns, the instructions of the Atenas Jacket pattern are sufficient (and quite detailed actually) to walk you through every step of the way to construct the welt pocket, but I feel that a photo tutorial would […]

However, what are other choices when we want to have the look of the flat-felled seam, but want a quicker finish? You can give […]
I always thought of a jacket with notched lapel as something formal. But after seeing Hannah’s styling with the La Paz Jacket, my opinion is changed. She looks amazing in her various outfits with the La Paz Jacket. Take a look at her experience making and wearing the jacket that almost feels like a cozy […]
I aspire to wear more layers and to mix and match my custom-made clothes. Today Ajaire is showing us how she does it with the Dana Point Top and the Salamanca Cropped Jacket. I really like the concept of a longer layer inside with a shorter layer outside! First of all, let me thank our […]
Trans-seasonal time is difficult to sew for, isn’t it? It can be warm enough to go swimming, or it can be cold enough for hot chocolate (OK, I agree that I can always have some hot chocolate, even if it means I need to hide inside a refrigerator.) But pants sewing is always appropriate. This […]
A vest is a great trans-seasonal garment, isn’t it? To be honest, I didn’t think a vest could change an outfit that much until I see the styles that MJ put together with the Envigado Vest! Before we look at the details of MJ’s Envigado, let me give thanks to Raspberry Creek Fabrics for this […]
In this issue of Make It Wear It, I am happy to have Pam show you her Visby Henley. Actually, she opted to omit the front placket and hacked it to create a color-blocked version. I think it’s very clever, and would be great for those who just started sewing (and hacking patterns). First of […]
If I must say so myself, my love for the new Oia Dress is EPIC. OK, let me dial back the drama queen in me, but I do love love love my Oia Dress! And once you make it and wear it, you will understand what I mean. For one week, the Oia Dress sewing pattern […]

This week, Erin is showing us her beautiful Zamora Blouse in the Make It Wear It blog series. I always thought that the Zamora is a dressed-up, feminine blouse, but Erin surprised me by dressing it in a few fun ways. It also helps tremendously that she picked such a fun fabric with happy colors […]
