Buy Pattern #622 Base Wear One
The BaseWear One pattern offers wonderful workout options or great layering pieces.

Close fitting, hip length, slight V-neck, sleeveless Tee. One-piece sleeveless bodysuit with V back.
Get 25% Off: Selected fabrics for this pattern include our basic Cotton/Lycra knits as well as Indigo Brush Strokes PRT1000 and Let the Chips Fall PRT960.
Buy Pattern #816 Body Shaper (our first e-pattern)
This popular, easy to construct, reversible body shaper has only two pattern pieces. The seam allowances are sandwiched in-between the two layers, so a smooth fit is achieved on both sides.
Get 25% Off: Choose one of our body shaper fabrics to make it a shaper or to make it a smoother, try our black ITY knits (13oz Black ITY or 9oz Black ITY).

Stitch a Stunning Jacket, expert tips for stretch lace.
Lovely in Lace (p 38-40)
Create a simple and chic stretch lace jacket that's perfect to wear to a dinner party or brunch.
Christine gives expert advice on creating a stretch lace jacket on pages 38-40 of the February/March 2012 issue of SewNews. Follow the step by step instructions to create a stunning jacket of your own.
Christine selected fabrics from our current collection that would work perfectly to make this jacket, including some of our fabulous sweater knits! The pattern calls for 3-4 units, but if you want to work with the selvedge we suggest getting a little extra.
These recommendations come from both Christine's experience with the pattern and the recommended fabrics on Sandra Betzina's pattern. (Today's Fit by Sandra Betzina, V1058)
