Huge line up of the birthday blog tour today. We have 5 fabulous sewists and bloggers adding their creativity to their Itch to Stitch patterns.
Cheryl from Red Knits
Cheryl of Red Knits sews and knits as a welcome distraction from graduate school. She’s currently focused on building a versatile wardrobe to take her from the classroom to the dance floor. This Marbella with a scalloped hem is the perfect LBD for many occasions, but especially an upcoming wind ensemble concert.
Magda from House of Estrela
“Hello everyone. I am Magda E., mom to a girl and a baby boy. I mostly sew for them nowadays but I started sewing a long time ago, for myself, mainly because I couldn’t afford my own expensive taste. I hacked the Marbella dress pattern into a new romper.”
Shelly from Sew Shelly Sew
“Hello, my name is Shelly and I blog at Sew Shelly Sew. I have 4 kids who occupy most of my time, but I get a few hours here and there to sew! I mostly sew for my kids, but lately I’ve been getting the “itch” to sew some for myself. I’m honored to be a part of the Itch to Stitch blog tour and to share my remix of the Emily Culottes.”
Sara from Made by Sara
“Hi lovely Itch to Stitch readers! I am Sara and I am addicted to all things sewing. I love to sew for my three kids and for myself, and I share my makings over Made by Sara.
For this tour I chose to make a modified version of the Paulina top. I thought about sewing up other Itch to Stitch patterns but I ended up making this simple raglan sweater out of a floral French Terry and burgundy interlock using the Paulina top pattern. It was a simple hack and you can read all about it here.”
Melissa from Rebel & Malice
“Hi my name is Melissa. I blog at Rebel & Malice and I am SAHM to 5 crazy kids and married to one crazy guy which makes our insane family. I mostly sew for my 3 daughters, and myself, with a little bit thrown in for the boys. I love to mix prints and hack patterns, and see how much I can mix modern, vintage and rock inspired looks. I have a loud and eclectic sense of style which basically means that it is never the same.”

Fondest memory was seeing up my first dress for my daughter and it came out beautiful! That one is still my favorite creation to this day even though it had many flaws!
Fondest sewing moment – making a dress that actually fit me! 🙂
Fondest sewing memory….hmmm…..maybe when I made my first dress in 5th grade.
My fondest sewing memory was sitting with my mom, as she worked to make my wedding veil by hand, while I was hemming the dress of one of my bridesmaids. My parents came up for several months, each weekend, to help my husband and me to work in our house, perfect our garden, figure out the food, and do other numerous tasks to help organise our wedding day…..that was 29 years ago, and I’ll never forget the love and care that they showed during that time.
Happy Birthday!
Fondest sewing memory has to be my first sewing class, where I went from poking around on a machine to having some actual knowledge about sewing. Fortunately, I’ve continued to learn since then, too.
