    Cool Stitches
    Hey there! This week I have a sewing tutorial for you :) 

Bodice pattern for knit fabrics:

- Grasser 110 ( https://grasser.ru/vykrojki/vykrojki-futbolok-bodi-topov/vykrojka-futbolki-1a/ );
- Basic instinct tee by Secondo Piano ( http://www.secondopiano.space/blog/2017/9/29/basic-instinct-tshirt-pattern ) This pattern isn't reaslly tight fitting so the look won't be the same as the one in the tutorial but it can be used if you prefer something on the looser side.
- Pyrus Top by Mood Sewciety ( https://www.moodfabrics.com/blog/the-pyrus-top-free-sewing-pattern/ ) Remove the heart detail to use this one.
- Lavender tee by Mood Fabrics ( https://www.moodfabrics.com/blog/the-lavender-tee-free-sewing-pattern/ ).

Hope you have fun making this one! If you do use this tutorial to make your own top tag me IG so that i can see how it turned out :) #madewithcoolstitches

    Knitting Vlog - Making my own wrap cardi pattern

    hey hey! 

I've been knitting for the past few months and creating my own patterns has been the part of the process I'm enjoying the most so I want to share with you what I've learned so far. This video is basically the "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" moto but for knitting 😅

This video gives you all the tools you need to create your own knitting pattern for an oversized cardi and to make the whole process easier I created a file where you can insert all of your measurements, swatch details and the calculations you'll make to figure out how many rows and stitches you need to knit at each step. 

I hope this file makes your life easier! You can find it here: https://cool-stitches.com/shop/my-self-drafted-cardi/

    Hey hey! Long time no see. Most of you who follow me on here follow me on instagram as well so you know that in the mean time i've released another free pattern. For those who don't follow me on there, it's a undies pattern and you can check it out here https://cool-stitches.com/shop/peachy-undies-pdf-pattern-a4-letter/ 🍑


Anywaaaays, that's not what i came here to talk to you about. I have a new free pdf pattern for you! It's winter here in Portugal but I'm already longing for the long summer days which led to this quick and easy crop top. 


The Twisty Crop Top is a (as the name says) crop top. A simple basic
with a twist in the back. It features thick straps and a square neckline.
Perfect for hot summer days and a quick project that you can make
over and over again since it’s super fast and easy! 


The pattern is currently available in the sizes 34 to 48. I’m aware of how not size inclusive it is but I’m still learning about grading for bigger sizes so please bare with me!


The pattern comes with written instructions but if like me you're more of a visual learner here's a quick video on how to make it! 


You can find the pattern here: https://cool-stitches.com/shop/twisty-crop-top-pdf-pattern-a4-letter/

*for personal use only.

I'd love to see what you make with this one so if you end up making it just use #madewithcoolstitches​ and #twistycroptop or tag me @coolstitches

    Hey there! I'm back again with another tutorial and pattern for you! 

So here's a little bit about the Eva Pattern:

🖤 It has exposed seams that give it a bustier look;

🖤 It's available in both long and short sleeve version;

🖤 Recommended fabrics: knits or jerseys with at least 60% stretch.

🖤 You need a serger to make this one! 

🖤A twin needle is optional but personally it's how I prefer to hem stretchy fabrics.

The pattern is currently available in the sizes S, M, L and XL. I’m aware of how not size inclusive it is but I’m still learning about grading for bigger sizes so please bare with me!

Oh, you want to know why this one is called Eva? The design is inspired by Evangelion. I feel like an humanoid robot when i wear this one which i find pretty cool.

You can find the pattern here: https://cool-stitches.com/shop/eva-exposed-seam-mockneck-top-pdf-pattern/

*for personal use only.

I'd love to see what you make with this one so if you end up making it just use #madewithcoolstitches or tag me @coolstitches

happy sewing!! 🖤

    Hey again! It took me a bit more than i expected but here's a video on how to hack the free pattern i released a while ago. 

In this one i'll show you how to change the neckline of the pattern and how to create a button placket!

The pattern was super well received and i loved seeing all of your versions on Instagram. Keep them coming ❤️
One of the versions i saw they turned it into a dress and i'll show you how to do that in my next video. 

After releasing a free pattern i got quite a few people asking if i had paypal so that they could pay for the pattern and as i'm not super confident in my drafting techinques i don't feel (yet!!) very confortable charging. So here's what i did: i created a website and there you can get the pattern for whatever price you want , even nothing if you want it for free :) 

super excited about having a website, feeling super legit.

    HOW TO HACK THE FRONT TIE TOP PATTERN (FREE PDF PATTERN)

    Hey hey! Today I bring you a tutorial for this top that’s gives me pirate vibes. There’s a free sewing pattern so that you folks can recreate this one. It’s my first time making a sewing pattern in digital format so please be kind! I know that it isn’t size inclusive at all and I’m really sorry but I’m still learning about grading patterns.  

I’ve also made this top in a floral fabric and it turned out super cute. You can check that one out on my Instagram! 

And here’s a tip: if you don’t like the look of the channels on the inside you can also make this top lined so that you can create the channels using the two layers of fabric!

    Hey there! I have an Instagram account (as most of you probably do) where I show my sewing and hand embroidery projects and I always get dms asking how I do this and that. As people want tutorials I decided to deliver. 
I most definitely do not have enough charisma to become an youtuber but let’s give this a go! 

For my first video I bring you a tutorial of this top from Trois. Every time I log into any form of social media this top is there so I took it as a sign that I should recreate it. 

If you decide to make one pleeeease tag me. I would love to see it :) 

I’m always on Instagram sewing something so give me a follow!
