Here are a few of my favorites:


This is the Soller Top & Dress pdf pattern.  If you are looking for quick and easy, this one is it.  I have made it twice and have more fabric to make a couple more dresses/tops.  Be sure to check out the Soller blog post and see all of the beautiful samples.



This is the Foz Top pdf pattern.  This is a great v-neck top.  I have made it three times.  It is another quick and easy top.  Even the buttonholes do not slow you down.  Snaps would make it even faster.  Check out the blog post to see all the tester examples.



This is the Celeste Dress pdf pattern.  This is a comfy dress.  I have made it once but plan on more.  It does have a side invisible zipper.  Check out the blog post to see all the examples and check out this blog post for examples of the larger sizes.  This is a great summer dress.



This is the Taroko Skirt pdf pattern.  This is the newest skirt pattern form Itch to Stitch.  It is on my sewing list.  This will be a workhorse item in my wardrobe.  Check out the blog post to view the tester's samples.  

Here is some that are on my to do list for fall:


This is the Quebec pdf skirt.  This is a pull-on skirt.  This skirt is on my to-do list.  If you are looking for a workhorse type clothing item, this is it.  In the right fabric, it could be worn year round.  Here is the blog post to see the tester examples.  


This is the Magdalena Vet Top pdf pattern.  This on my to do list in the high-hip version.  Check out the tester's versions of this vest.  They are wonderful.

Happy Stitching!

Shoes...

 I rarely mention shoes in my inspiration posts but they are very much part of an outfit.  Just like other accessories.   I tend to fail when it comes to a lot of accessories.  Earrings are about it.  However, this shoe has caught my eye:


This is The High Point by Rothy's.  Price tag: $169.00.  Details:  premium knit upper, 1 1/4-inch heel wrapped in the knit, cushioned insole, spacious toebox, added elastic to expand/contract as wearing, machine washable.

I have been wearing this companies shoes for at least four seasons.  The first pair which has been worn year around still looks good.  These shoes feel a little dressy.  I can see wearing them with my new skirt and a red top (matchy, matchy is in, right?).

I like this company's philsophy.  Recycle, recycle, recycle.  If you are interested in this shoe or any Rothy's shoes, send me a comment with your email and I will send you a referral so you can get $20 off.  I will get $20 off as well.  I will not publish the comment.

Happy Stitching!
