They are made of a classical top with a notched collar, and bottoms with an elasticated waistband and pockets. The shirt can be made with short or long sleeves with cuffs. The bottom can be long, with cuffs, or short. Finally, the entire set can be finished with piping. It's the perfect final touch, at ikatee, we love it :-).

Summer version: shorts and short sleeves.
Supplies: caramel viscose twill, ecru piping, 12 mm alabaster buttons.
Particular attention has been paid to the cut. The small side slit on the women's shorts and the slightly fuller, shorter volume of the top compared to the children's version give a particularly feminine touch to the model... whose top could surely be made into an everyday blouse :-).
Mix and match between the caramel viscose twill and our exclusive viscose Jaipur.
Mix and match! Budapest is the perfect pattern for mixing plains and prints, not only between the top and the bottom but also between the main fabric and the piping. The perfect occasion to think thoroughly of that little detail that will make all the difference.

With their 18 different collars options, from classic to extravagant, we play with gathers, curves, scallops, and ruffles. This is THE essential pattern, but not so basic, that allows you to have fun while starting from a simple base. You will get very different clothes... with the same pattern! We love it!
This new pattern is available in two size ranges: RIO, from 1 month to 4 years, and RIO kids, from 3 to 12 years. The skill level is easy to intermediate, depending on the collar option chosen. Rio is available in paper or PDF, with the projector file included in the last one. As usual, a video tutorial accompanies the pattern.

Get ready to sew Rio by watching our video tutorial now (with English subtitles), which will guide you through your project. We have prepared a bonus in this video, to make a rickrack collar identical to ours 🤩
The Rio blouse is designed to be sewn in woven fabrics. A wide range can be used, and why not even mix them! We recommend starting with stable fabrics such as poplin, seersucker, or light denim for beginners. Then you can play with textured fabrics like double gauze, corduroy, or viscose linen.
The bilingual patterns are available on our two websites, ikatee.fr, and ikatee.com but the fabrics and haberdashery are available on our French website ikatee.fr. The shipping costs are the same on both websites. Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.
Rio is the perfect pattern to sew pretty labels: a size label to slip on the back, and a message label on the chest pocket.
It's the big comeback of rickrack, and here we are a fan! Maxi or mini, it is the delicate touch for all your creations. For the baby version, count 1 meter of rickrack, for the child version, count 1 to 2 meters.
]]>It is not because they are hidden that they should be neglected! Against the skin, underwear contributes a lot to well-being and feeling good in its body. Here are 4 reasons to sew them yourself. First of all, you can choose the fabric, the prints, and colors, then they are quick to sew, it is the perfect way to use scraps, (12 inches, 30 cm at most, and two in the width of your fabric for small sizes), and finally, you'll have the satisfaction to wear them (almost) everyday 😉
Belle is a pattern for an underwear set with a thin stripes camisole, briefs, and hipsters, you can adapt and choose between a high and low waist so you can sew four different panties. For the finishing touches, we propose elasticated bias, special lingerie elastic (with picots or lace for example), or ribbing. All these options are presented in the video tutorial. We highly recommend watching it before taking the plunge.
This pattern is available as a PDF or paperback format, from 3 to 12 years for Belle and from 34 to 46 (french sizes), sizes 2 to 16 (US sizes) for Belle Mum. This pattern is for sewists of an intermediate level. A tutorial (in French and English) and a video tutorial are here to guide you step by step.
The biggest advantage of Belle is that you can use your fabric scraps (and that's every sewist's goal right?!). To sew this pattern you need expandable fabrics: jersey, openwork knit, or waffle knitted fabric. For the interior gusset, simple jersey cotton will be perfect. You'll need bulked thread for the tin or the main looper of your serger. This foam thread is soft and will be perfect for comfort, the seams of the briefs being in direct contact with the skin. You can use a twin needle for perfect finishes. Finally, you'll find a large selection of elastics and ribbing on our website so you can have fun with the details of your lingerie set.
These fabrics and haberdashery are available on our French website ikatee.fr, however, the shipping costs are the same as on our website in English. Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.
]]>Our beautiful exclusive viscose Ikatee® Blossom storm is back in stock, and we decided to take this opportunity to (re)introduce you to the pattern Oslo. Oslo is a sewing pattern for a blouse or dress that we wanted to be simple but with sophistication. We like the delicacy of the front and back yokes: you can add easily gathers, piping, or lace between the top and the more ample bottom pieces. The sleeves can be short or long, with or without a shirred cuff.
It is a shape you can use all year long depending on the fabric you choose. A short-sleeved version will be perfect for summer, but with tights and an undershirt, you can also wear it in the winter.
This pattern is available from 6 months to 4 years. You can choose between the PDF file or the paper-printed pattern. It is a pattern for sewists with an easy to intermediate level. A guidebook is available to guide you step by step.

A very soft Oslo with long-shirred sleeves by @likeabobo
To make this garment, as a blouse or dress, you will need at most 90 cm of fabric, about 35 inches. Prefer a fluid fabric: cotton sateen, poplin, viscose, gauze, light denim, or thin corduroy. Don't forget 5 to 7 buttons, piping or lace, and a small piece of interfacing for the button placket. You can also add two labels: one for the size (especially if it's a gift for new parents) and one to add a special note!
These fabrics are available on our french website ikatee.fr. However the shipping costs are the same, and the patterns are in English and in French if you buy them on both websites. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Our first new releases at ikatee for 2023 are woven labels. Due to numerous requests, the size labels are now available in sets consisting of a mix of sizes. You will find an assortment for babies' sewing projects, from 3 to 24 months, and an assortment for children's sewing, from 3 to 7 years. Enough to satisfy those whose children are growing up too fast :-). The size labels are also still available in bags of 7 identical ones. We remind you that the labels are available only in french :-)
The third new product is a woven label called "Amour toujours", which could be translate as "Love always". We hope you will like the french sound of it!
Size labels are essential for indicating the sewn size of the garment especially when kids grow up to fast... or if you sew for birth gift. This label is also an element of customisation of the garment. So you'll find a specific drawing for each size on the back of the labels. Heads or tails, it's up to you to choose how to sew the label!
The baby set is made of 15 labels, 3 copies of the following sizes: 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months (mois in french).
If your kid grows up to fast and you don't have enough time to sew 7 garments for him, the bay set will be perfect for you: 15 labels including 3 copies of each of the following sizes, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, 6 years, and 7 years.
These size labels could also be very useful for indicating the front and back of a garment, especially for children who are learning to dress by themselves.
In the spirit of our labels with positive messages, Amour toujours is the ideal label for customization in 2023. The colors are wine and parma on a grey background (matching Mettler 411 thread).
]]>The basic straight cardigan is an essential item in the wardrobe of the whole family. Ikatee has therefore created this sewing pattern in all size ranges: Vega, from 1 month to 4 years, Vic, from 3 years to 12, and Vic Mum from 34 to 46. This cardigan can be worn on top of many types of outfits (dresses, jumpsuits, trousers, jeans, skirts, rompers...) whatever the season. Depending on the fabric you choose, you will get very sportswear or ultra-chic looks.
Several options are available for this model. You can play with the length (mid-hip or mid-buttocks), but also with the neckline finish (bias binding or facing with a contrasting fabric) and the bottom of the jacket (hem or added band).
These patterns are suitable for beginners, especially as there is a step-by-step tutorial video available.
Hacked version of Vic with patchwork Cezon
Details for the Vic hack: for Vic (which will work just as well on Vega or Vic mum), you just have to redraw the sleeve very simply: two perpendiculars from the bottom of the sleeve are drawn departing from the ends of the sleeve head. Thus the sleeve is widened by several centimeters at the cuff. You will then insert an elastic in the hem to tighten the bottom of the sleeve. And as an option, you can round off above and below the button placket to be able to put the bias in one go.

Quilted Vega by @seams_like_jam and @julie_keyser_
Vega, Vic, and Vic Mum are perfect patterns to sew quilted jackets. If you can't find the quilted fabric of your dreams, you can make it yourself. Camille explains all the steps of this new technique in a tutorial video that we really invite you to watch! You'll learn a lot of tips and tricks, and we hope it will encourage you to try this technique.

Don't forget to buy a matching sewing thread, bias binding for the neckline, interfacing for the button placket, buttons or snaps for the closure, and two small labels: one for the size, and the other to add a sweet word. You can add a pretty iron-on patch to personalize your project to the end!

Singapour has the advantage of being able to be sewn in both woven and knitted fabrics for very different looks. For example, Terry cloth or Nicky velours will give a very sporty look to the pattern, but will also be ideal for home wear. For a more urban winter look, you can choose baby corduroy for example. And of course, for summer, a very colorful viscose will look great!
Woven fabric: poplin, chambray, double gauze, corduroy, denim, seersucker, linen, viscose, waffle, flannel, lightweight wool, gabardine.
Knitted fabric: jersey, French terry, lightweight fleece, terry cloth, quilted jersey, Nicky velours.
]]>Perfect for customization, these patches will find their place on all your creations, or even ready-to-wear clothes, home decoration, and why not on a pin support. We are also thinking about School bags and pencil cases in this period of back-to-school! You can also use them to hide a snag or a small stain. These badges are very easy to apply and are iron-on: a quick ironing and a few stitches to hold them in place, and that's it!
Fanny pack, caps, bags, jeans and jacket, these iron-on patches will find their place on everyday clothes
There are no less than 10 new exclusive fabrics that are being released by ikatee this season. We had a lot of fun creating this collection. Four different types of fabrics make up this capsule: 5 jerseys, 3 French terry, 1 Terry cloth and 1 softshell (our new type of material of the season!). That will allow you to sew all types of clothes.
Two dominant colors are mixed, a warmer shade (hazelnut, cinnamon, caramel...) and a colder one (ice blue, navy...), to find the perfect balance for an Fall palette. And you'll see, it's not just for children after all!
Re-editions of your favorite patterns are mixed with new ones to offer you a great range of designs, suitable for all tastes. To inspire you, we have sewed the Sydney, London, New York, or Lisboa sewing patterns. A wink for brand aficionados 😉: those who have been following us for a long time will recognize the Skating rabbit pattern, a fabric released 4 years ago. There are also two new prints, Central Park and Enoki, that we adore. And it's the comeback of our Petit Coeur, Cocktail, and Pingu patterns, reinterpreted for the occasion.
See the whole new collection of fabrics from Ikatee

Each of the two shapes is available in 3 lengths: long, 3/4, or short.

We particularly like the kangaroo pocket and drawstring waist options of New York which give a very sporty look to the pattern. Once again, these 2 patterns are perfect to beginners.

Toronto is a pattern for sewists of an intermediate sewing level. The video tutorial is here to help you step by step.
Toronto is a model that will perfectly work in a fabric with a bit of thickness. Choose a corduroy, denim, wool, or gabardine. With its simple shape, you can choose a plain or a printed fabric. For the facing, have some fun: why not a pop of color, or a strong print! Don't forget some interfacing, a matching thread, and a few pretty buttons. For the final touches, add two labels: one for the size, and one to add a sweet note to your creation!
]]>Famous in the 70's, corduroy fabric has been making a comeback in ready-to-wear for a few years now. Corduroy fabrics give your garments a vintage touch that we love. This material is particularly soft, warm, resistant and supple. It is a ribbed fabric whose ribs can be more or less wide. Depending on the direction of the fabric, it reflects the light differently. This is why it is important to cut all your pieces in the same direction to avoid changing color effect. Corduroy, baby-corduroy or fur-lined corduroy, here is a small presentation of the different velvets currently in stock at ikatee!
You will find different types of corduroy on our website. Here are a few criteria to help you choose your fabric according to your sewing project. First of all, the size of the wales which is indicated by a number giving you the number of wales per inch: 4W, 6W or 8W. The higher the number, the finer the wales because there are more of them per inch. For example, baby corduroy fabric is classified as 21W

Secondly, you can also have a look to the composition of the fabric. All our corduroys are made of cotton, but some contain elastane and are therefore stretchy. They will be softer and have slightly less maintain than corduroy without elastane. On the other hand, they will be more suitable for sewing garments that require a flowing fit. Be aware that a fabric with elastane will have a longer lifespan over time.
Last but not least, you can also look at the weight of your fabric. This criterion will give you a good idea of its density which is always good to know when ordering online. Our selection of big 4W and 6W corduroy have relatively equal weights. You can gather and sew them easily, while still having a relatively heavy fall for a nice, wintery look.
Many patterns can be sewn in big rib velvet: Sam and Grand'ourse jackets, Boston, London and Brooklyn overalls and jumpsuits, Stockholm, Toronto, Milano and Cerise dresses and skirts, New York, Dakar and Avana pants and why not the Bilbao bloomer and the Sydney romper.
Baby corduroy are relatively fine, comfortable, very soft and fluffy. They can be easily gathered. They are therefore perfect for blouses, shirts, light trousers, winter shorts, dresses, skirts, bloomers, or even bags. They can be lined with a jersey for trousers or a full winter dress, or with a cosy fur or fleece knit for jackets.

2 types of baby corduroy are available: 21W which is very thin and light, in plain or printed, and slightly thicker and stretchy milleraies in plain. A wide range of colours is available and matching some of our printed poplins or Liberty. Think about it for your small details!

]]>Back to school is coming real quick and with it, the colder seasons... and the sewing projects that go with them! The Sam sewing pattern is a must-have for our children's fall wardrobe.
