Itch To Stitch Anniversary Sale!...

 Itch to Stitch is having an 11th anniversary sale.  Everything is 30% off from November 8 to November 11 except Orio, Clemente, and Sorata patterns are 20% off.   Here are some of my favorites:

This it the Itch to Stitch Taroko Skirt line drawing.  This is a lovely, a-line skirt with princess seams.  It is probably one of my favorite skirt patterns.  I have made at least four of these skirts.  Two for fall/winter and two for spring/summer.

This is the Itch to Stitch Foz Top line drawing.  This is a lovely v-neck knit top.  It can be worn as a top or as a second layer.  I have made three of these tops.

This is the Itch to Stitch Soller Top/Dress line drawing.  This is a lovely v-neck top/dress.  I have made two of the tops and one of the dress.  It is a great top/dress.  Easy to make.

This is the Itch to Stitch  Azores Top & Dress line drawing  I think a challis would be perfect for this pattern.  The top would work equally well with a skirt or pants.  This one is on my list.

This is just a small list of the patterns that are on the Itch to Stitch website. There are lots of lovely patterns.  Go check it out.  I have found that the patterns have been well drafted. Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.

New To Me Pattern Company...

 Today, I found a new to me pattern company - Daughter Judy Patterns.  This site has both sewing patterns and knitting patterns.  There are not a lot of patterns yet but the ones that are there are interesting.  My favorite one is this skirt:

This is the Henry Skirt.  It is almost a classic wrap.  It wraps but I think there is more coverage than a classic wrap skirt as in no accidental flashing.

So, check out this designer.  You might find a great pattern.

Inspiration...A-Line Skirt

 I am loving the longer fall/winter skirts this year.  Here is a great one:

This is the A-Line Crepe Weave Midi Skirt by Lafayette 148 New York.  Price tag: $798.00.  Details:  crepe weave organic cotton dobby, vertical darts at waist, approximately 30-inches from shoulder to hem, sits high on the high, falls below knee, a-line silhouette, invisible back zip.

This is an overall great look.  A perfect work outfit.  I do not have access to fabrics that would make like this blouse and skirt do but I wish I did.  Here are a couple of ideas for the skirt:

This is New Look 6053.  This pattern has two variations with additional length variations.  Once fitted, you could have a whole weeks worth of skirts.  Views C or D is what I was thinking for the inspiration.  Basically, whichever one would give you the best length for you.  

This is Butterick 6866.  This is a princess seam skirt which is different than the inspiration photo but View A would give you a similar look.  This skirt might be fuller than the inspiration photo but I think it would do a good job.

I was not able to locate the camp shirt in the photo but it is very much a necessary component of the outfit.  I think this pattern would work well:

This is Liesl & Co Camp Shirt-Dress.  Perfect little pattern to duplicate the camp shirt in the inspiration photo.  I have found that the Liesl & Co patterns are well drafted.

Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful for yourself.

Inspiration...Plaid Midi Skirt

 I love that the skirts are long for fall/winter this year.  This one is menswear inspired:

This is The Trouser Column Midi Skirt from Ann Taylor.  Price tag: $139.00.  Details:  length is 34-1/2 inches, column silhouette for that long lean look, front zip closure with extended hook and bar closure, belt loops, front slash pockets, front vent, and back welt pockets.

This is such a great skirt.  If you pick the right colors for your wardrobe, it could be and every day piece.  Here is a pattern suggestion:

This is Vogue 2032.  It is a lined skirt, semi-fitted through hip, sits 1" below waist, has fly front zipper, side front pockets, back welt pockets, belt loops, front slit and front and back pintuck detail.  This is almost perfect for the inspiration photo.

I would do View A.  Then, make sure that the length is correct for yourself.   The fabric for the pattern looks to be a mid-weight such as gabardine, linens, denim, twill, and sateen.  I would guess that a plaid suiting would work as well.  Mood Fabrics has some beautiful plaids that would work well for this pattern.

Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.
