Sydney

5oo4 Sydney Dress/Peplum 5 Out Of 4 is one of my favorite designers. So many of the patterns have nursing options built in and full bust adjustment pattern pieces so you don’t have to do your own alteration. This holiday season, 5oo4 released the Sydney dress. It has a twirly skirt, fitted bodice with lift

Blogger to WordPress

Kitty Makes It is nearing its first birthday! When I first launched the site, I wanted a blog to keep my projects organized so I could remember which patterns I like and share with others who might be asking about things I’ve made. I actually already owned a domain for my personal email. When I

Sahara

I’ve owned this pattern since I got into PDF patterns. I’ve never sewn made a Sahara though, something always seemed to get in the way. I work well under pressure and get the most done when there’s a deadline, so of course I signed up to test the transition to trimless pages. The pattern now

Manhattan

Here’s my latest joggers – the Good Vibes Joggers from Ellie and Mac.   This pair is made with kitty cat patterned Doodles interlock fabric from JoAnns.

Rebel Raglan

My husband lives in hoodies. I’m constantly out to find him the best hoodie. My latest attempt to please him is the Rebel Raglan from Wardrobe by Me. He really likes this one. He says it’s the closest I’ve gotten to his favorite Carhart store bought workwear. It’s a raglan style which makes it a

Below Zero

I snagged this glittery hacci (really! it has glitter) from Stitchin Pretties and I knew it needed a pattern that could match it’s personality.   I paired it with a soft black brushed waffle knit from Cali Fabrics. The Below Zero top from G&G is perfect!  The fabric and pattern together are such an outspoken combination.
