I am quite delighted to see the beautiful creations from four blog tour participants today.
Siobhan from Just Keep Sewing
“Hi I’m Siobhan. In March I packed up my sewing machine and headed for beautiful Rwanda. My blog is a mixture of me-made makes and encounters with the Rwandan sewing/textile scene. I’m super excited to be part of the Itch to Stitch celebratory tour! For my make I jumped right on the Marbella dress for its interesting design lines and custom fit options, then mashed it with a shorts pattern to make a pineapple covered combishort (playsuit/romper).”
Angela from My Little Sewing Dreams
“Hi, I am Angela from Hamburg, Germany, and I blog at My Little Sewing Dreams. I started sewing in 2001, but really got into it only a few years ago when I discovered the online sewing community. My long time goal is to have some day a wardrobe completely made by myself.”
Ajaire from Call Ajaire
“Hi! I’m Ajaire. I’ve always loved making. At an early age I started cross stitching and sewing and then I taught myself to knit and crochet during college. When my daughter was born I was filled with all sorts of inspiration and started sewing up a storm, but lets face it: with a little one in the house there’s not a lot of sewing time and lots of mind-wandering-inspiration time and for me the best part is the design/plan phase of a project. Sew-alongs really lit a fire under me in terms of deadlines and themes and without them I might have had a ton of UFOs hanging around the sewing machine.”
Judy from Stoney Sews
“Hi I’m Judy from southern Indiana. I am a self taught sewer who has been sewing since I was a teen but just became serious 5 years ago. I started with simple home dec type projects but my goal has always been to sew well constructed and beautifully finished garments. This goal is a work in progress and led me to start this Sew A Longs and Sewing Contest FB page, which is dedicated to learning by coming along side other sewers and finishing all types of projects. I am so delighted to be a part of Itch to Stitch’s birthday bash blog tour and can’t wait to show you my Kathryn!”

My fondest sewing memory are the numerous weekends I’ve spent at Camp Stitchalot with the many fabulous women I’ve met there! And all of them think sewing is cool!
My fondest memory of sewing was a jean jacket my senior year, complete with fringe. Don’t judge, it was the 80s! To bad I lost it in my early 20s.
I love looking at all the different versions made of the patterns. Also great to see them modeled on real people, not airbrushed models. Happy Birthday Itch to Stitch!!!
My fondest sewing memory is my son sleeping in the shorts I made him as he loved them so much.
Happy birthday Itch to Stitch. I certainly share that itch.
I am a huge fan if Itch to Stitch patterns. Happy birthday!
