Cape Cod Capelet
Feel like an easy-to-sew and easy-to-fit project? I got you covered! The Cape Cod Capelet is cozy and chic. The sharp yet snuggly top has raglan seams that are sewn together at the end, forming an elbow-length, roomy sleeve. The fit of the Cape Cod Capelet is very forgiving, so you can make some as gifts even if you don’t know the precise measurements of the recipients. To make it extra luxurious, you can even use merino or cashmere sweater knit fabric!

Itch to Stitch
Hi! I am Kennis Wong, owner and designer of Itch to Stitch sewing patterns. Actually, I am also the web/tech gal, customer support, drafter, illustrator, model, marketer and everything in between. Luckily, I do have a loyal partner in crime (a.k.a. my husband, Ray), who provides constant moral support, technical consultancy and beautiful photography.
I learned to sew when I was 13 years old in Hong Kong. I attended the so-called “technical” school where, in addition to normal subjects, girls had to learn typing, home economics and dress making. My first finished garment was a baby’s dress. And I learned to sew on a treadle machine. I just loved everything about it. Since then I have been sewing on and off, using commercial patterns from the Big 4, European sewing magazines and some independent designers. Finally, I said to myself, “Why don’t I design something?”
Itch to Stitch’s designs are really my personal style. They are modern and elegant. Perhaps they are not always simple to sew (because I love details!), but they always have high-quality finishes. Of course I want them to fit well; that’s why most of my designs have many sizes and different cup options. I am always looking for inspirations. I post them on Pinterest (https://www.pinterest.com/sewitchtostitch/), Instagram (http://instagram.com/itchtostitch) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ItchToStitchDesigns/).
