I’ve had the privilege of Angela from My Little Sewing Dreams testing my Idyllwild Top and Dress and Emily Culottes patterns. Angela did amazing work on both patterns. So I am thrilled that Angela agreed to test my Jacqueline Hoodie pattern. She sure did not disappoint. Most of the time I sew with solid fabrics since they are the “safer” […]
Coralie from Stitch N’ Smile was kind enough to raise her hand to be my tester for Jacqueline Hoodie. I checked out her blog and was immediately captivated by her beautiful creations (knitting AND sewing – what a talented lady!) and her wonderful photos. I could tell that Coralie took pride in her work and would do Jacqueline Hoodie […]
The Jacqueline Hoodie release post only showed you a few photos of the gorgeous hoodies that my testers created. But there are so many more! That’s why we are doing a blog tour to feature these beautiful garments and take you behind the scene. And what is a blog tour without a giveaway of the Jacqueline […]

I mentioned before that I joined the Swehetty Betties group. In fact, Emily Culottes was released as part of the group challenge. The group is starting a photo contest, and I thought you might want to know. If you have sewn something from any of the Itch To Stitch patterns, be sure to show them off […]

Finally my next pattern, Jacqueline Hoodie, is ready for testing. I initially started to draft this hoodie at the beginning of the year. Then I gave way […]
My mom told me, if I wanted great results, I had to work hard for it, because beautiful things never came easy. Now that I am a grown woman with my own experiences, I have realized that, most of the time, my mom is right. However, I’ve also learned that working smarter sometimes is more […]
Angela has done it again – sewing a BEAUTIFUL garment from an Itch To Stitch pattern. This time around she sewed the Emily Culottes. I love her choice of fabric, her fit and her construction the first time I see her culottes. Now I get the opportunity to see the wonderful finishes she tirelessly created […]
In my previous post, I talked about the characteristics of a contour waistband. In summary, a contour waistband is always on the bias, hence it is more flexible and has the ability to nicely and subtly contour to the shape of your waist. Not only it looks more graceful than a straight-grain waistband, it’s also more comfortable […]
Today we are stopping at All Sewn Up by Stacey to see Stacey’s beautiful Emily Culottes. Stacey chose a pretty challenging fabric to start with; it is a fabric with stripes so she was spending lots of time to match them (the matching, by the way, is perfect!). She chose this fabric with lots of […]
Today we are stopping at Jess Sew Fabulous to look at the awesome Emily Culottes that Jessie made. She actually made 2 versions during the testing – one with a white cotton that she wasn’t too crazy about because it wrinkled like crazy. But that didn’t deter Jessie at all, and she went ahead and […]
