Let’s be honest. I usually don’t think about sewing myself any skirts. Skirts are less glamorous than, let’s say, dresses, or even blouses. But skirts can be such a workhorse of your wardrobe and they can be super chic. Especially a denim-style skirt! It’s a not trendy item that you throw to the back of […]
Happy new year! I don’t usually make new year’s resolutions. However, I sometimes do have ideas about what I would like more in the new year. I sincerely hope that the new year brings more health, stability, peace, and prosperity to the world. On a personal level, I wish that I have a more positive […]
Itch to Stitch is adding this new pattern, the Poas Jacket, to its lineup! I think this little cropped jacket looks great on everyone. You can take a look at the testers’ photos below.

Originally released in 2020 with sizes 00 to 20, the Celeste Dress is one of the most popular patterns at Itch to Stitch. Personally, I lived in the dress during the summer of 2020. It’s cute, comfortable, and flattering. I can’t ask for more! So I decided to expand the size range to size 40. […]
It’s great that for some of us, summer is finally (and solidly) here! I’ve experienced temperatures from 65°F to 108°F (18°C to 42°C) in various places in the last month! I found that a good tank top is really versatile. On the chillier side, I can wear my cardigan or jean jacket over it, on […]
