Anza jumpsuit
This is the Anza Jumpsuit from itch-to-stitch. I've never worn a jumpsuit being 5'9". This one came together with some adjustments for me. I found the waistline to be to high for my comfort. Looks like it was drafted to land right on the natural waistline. I like mine to be lower than that.
After all my adjustments I ended up lowering the waistline 2 inches by taking that away from the rise of the bottom. Then I added that to the top along with 2 more inches for my height. Also added 2 inches to the leg.
LaPaz jacket
I was privileged to test the LaPaz jacket from Itch to stitch. This testing went very smoothly for me. Most of the other testers did a Hong Kong finish on the seam allowances.
I used Ponte knit for both of mine and I love the fit . This is so my style!

Greenstyle Midway Bomber
this one was made from Ponte body
and knit sleeves. I added a piping down
the middle of the sleeve stripe. the bands
were from a stretchy ponte. this one was
size xs
I made this one from a heavy lined
faux leather for the body and a
quilted knit for the arms. I made this one
from size medium for an outerwear coat.
The sleeves needed a bit more room so
I added about an inch to the sleeve seam. A
zippered pocket was added to the sleeve.
It was lengthened by 2 inches in the body and
sleeves were lengthened 1 inch. It was also
lined on the inside for more warmth
this is a heavier weight french terry
fabric with heavy ribbing for bands.
I used size small since the fabric had
little stretch and also lengthened the body
by 2 inches.
This one is made of a stretchy liverpool
border print fabric. I made it in size small with 2
inches added to body length. If I was to do it again it would be
a size xs. The liverpool needed extra interfacing in the waist
band extensions for body.
Testing for the Greenstyle creations
Endurance Bra
This one has Adjustable straps on the back that can be
crossed over or straight
All have a front zipper
Enjoyed working with greenstyle very much. This
was my first testing experience and I was
hooked immediately. Love the process and love
this pattern. Never thought I could sew my
own bra but now its all I wear. So comfortable
without the back hook.
