I finished this quilt right before January 1 and it rounded up my 2013 maker's year. At first, I planned to use pinwheel pattern for the front and just randomly select fabrics for the back. It turned out that pinwheel front is not my style, and I prefer the back of this quilt much better so I use it as a front.<br />

<br />
These last 2 days I have been thinking over all projects I finished this year and what I learned about my style and preferences. It's fun learning about myself as if I am a stranger :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I started 2013 finishing crib size quilt for my daughter Hannah and I am finishing 2013 with another quilt, queen size! I experimented with different patterns and found out that for me the simpler the better. I also prefer making lap size or crib size quilts to queen size :)</li>
<li>This year I dived into sewing mainly with knits. I got Brother 1034d serger and I love it! I made tees for my husband, daughter and me. I am still looking for a perfect tee for myself. I drafted a tee pattern for my husband using <a href="http://madmim.com/my-basic-fitted-t-shirt-pattern-made-to-fit-you/">madmim tutorial</a>. I prefer her older version of tutorial for some reason. I get better fit with it. I also found out I hate sewing neck bands. I like <a href="http://buzzybeesworld.blogspot.com/2010/11/everyone-needs-white-tank-top-binding.html">Pattern Scissors Cloth binding tutorial</a> though.</li>
<li>I also found out and I was actually surprised that I want instant gratification and I rush and I make dumb mistakes. Lesson to me: slow down and enjoy the process.</li>
<li>I am still learning about my style and what I like to wear. And what colors I like. And what flatters my body. I take this as ongoing process that will evolve all the time.</li>
<li>I also found out that I prefer sewing in the morning to the evenings. In the evenings I like knitting!</li>
<li>I would like to sell my collection of vintage patterns because I am not going to use it. And I want these patterns to be happy and find them a new owner that could actually use them!</li>
<li>For Christmas I got <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1780670931/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=Q3EPCSK48SQW&coliid=I2X46JWX1LNS1">a book on draping</a> and now I need a dress form to start learning. I actually used draping when I was a kid and I was making clothes for my Barbie girl. I didn't realized that I actually used draping haha!</li>
<li>I started knitting again and I love it. Over summer I knitted <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/aryn-tunic-cardigan">Aryn Tunic cardigan</a> and it was fine until I decided to wash it and block it wet. It got so long and now I hate it and put it into frog-me pile. I finished knitting 2 sweaters for Hannah and 2 hats for Hannah and me so we coordinate now :) </li>
<li>I really hope 2014 will be better than 2013 and I will do more projects that fit me and my style! And I also would like to take more time to work on fit and make a muslin and then use nice fabric. </li>
</ul>
<div>
Plans for 2014:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I really hope 2014 will be better than 2013 and I will do more projects that fit me and my style! And I also would like to take more time to work on fit and make a muslin and then use nice fabric.</li>
<li>Finish Archer. I sewed one up back in April and the size was too large on me and I also lost weight so now it looks like I took my husband's shirt. Sleeves are long, shoulders are super large, and don't ask me about back. I think I have narrow back by the way. Archer is my style!</li>
<li>Finish Moss skirt. I am still on muslin phase and the size looks good.</li>
<li>Pants! I love<a href="http://www.namedclothing.com/collections/trousers/products/jamie-jeans"> Jamie Jeans by Named</a>.</li>
<li>I want to use all the patterns I have before I buy a new pattern. Good thing I am not alone in this!</li>
<li>I would like to change the design of my blog. Like I said the simpler the better. </li>
</ul>
<div>
Happy New Year! Stay positive and everything will be alright!</div>

Personally as much as I want H to wear dresses, it is not practical. She falls pretty often and she likes playing in dirt. She usually wears some leggins and t-shirts.<br />
<br />
As for the dress, it is <a href="http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m4424-products-100.php?page_id=489">McCall's M4424</a>. I added ribbon to the front as an embellishment and added under-skirt. Is there such a word?<br />

<br />
How to make a tutu:<br />
<br />
You need elastic and 2 yards of tulle. Maybe 1 yard could be enough, but the skirt won't be so full.<br />
<ol>
<li>take a 1/4 elastic, wrap around your kid's belly and tie a knot. </li>
<li>cut tulle into strips. I eye measured how long I want the skirt to be. </li>
<li>and now the fun part: fold in half each strip and tie around elastic. </li>
</ol>
<br />
I used grey and purple colors and grey color strips turned out longer than purple ones and I like it. Now I want one for myself :) I actually found <a href="http://byhandlondon.com/2012/11/21/diy-tutu-the-must-make-party-skirt/">a good tutorial from By Hand London</a> that I want to use.<br />
<br />
For tee I used trusty <a href="http://figgyspatterns.com/patterns/banyan-tee-tunic-e-pattern/">Banyan tee</a> and <a href="http://www.girlcharlee.com/gold-pin-dot-on-white-cotton-spandex-knit-fabric-p-7055.html">this fabric</a> from Girl Charlee. I loved the fabric look BUT! your iron needs to be set to lowest temperature. If it's too hot, the gold dots will melt. Hannah also left some tomato stains on her shirt so I handwashed right after and of course instead of stains the gold dots got washed off. Such a bummer specially when you spend time picking fabric, then paying for it, then sewing with it and it gets only one use. Not cool. Anyways, Hannah was a star at that party :) Random people at the park thought it was her birthday :)<br />

I used <a href="http://oliverands.com/free-patterns/reversible-bucket-hat/">pattern by Oliver+S</a> and followed <a href="http://alittlegray.blogspot.com/2012/05/changing-up-bucket-hat.html">A Little Gray's tutorial</a> how to make brims wider. Hannah turned 18 months this month but her head size fits 2 years old and I went with 3 years old size. It is a little bigger on her but it fits nicer when her hair is done in high side ponytails. Anyways, pictures:<br />

First I tried Scoop Top free pattern from <a href="http://skirtastop.com/2013/04/26/scoop-top-free-pattern-and-tutorial/">Skirt As Top</a> and I loved it! The fit is perfect and it is free :) This was supposed to be a muslin, and I liked it so much that I couldn't stop wearing it.<br />

Not too bad for my first try. I still had trouble with that neckline and it turned out too baggy in the back. Other than that it's so warm and i love wearing it at home when it's too cold.<br />

I was working on my back pleat and couldn't wait till next post and attached the upper back too. While sewing these 3 pieces together I couldn't make that pleat stay put so I basted the pleat 2 inches lower. Maybe this tip will help somebody out there :)<br />

I don't like its color, or quality, or anything. So I decided to make some new pillowcases and a new duvet cover.<br />
<br />
Duvet cover turned out huge and it is really hard to take a picture but it is so homey and comfy and it brings so much light to our bedroom. I love it! For the front I used all my flowery patterned fabric that I had for over 2 years and I am really excited about it. For the back I used a flat sheet I never used.<br />
<br />

I love the result and everything matched. I went with boys version as I liked the sleeves better, and my 15 months old wasn't walking when I was sewing it so I wanted shorter version too for her. Now when she is 16 months old and is already walking I want to make her a girls version.<br />
<br />
The fabric is from <a href="http://www.girlcharlee.com/">Girl Charlee Fabrics</a> and it was on a thin side as for my first try of sewing with knits :) It looks very cool and it has this vintagy vibe.<br />

I'm sewing it very slow on purpose as I want to pay attention to every detail and learn new techniques. I've noticed that I have a problem here :) I usually want to finish project asap and think 'Oh, next time I will do it properly', or 'Oh, next time I will use french seams.' and so on. I don't like it and I am working on changing it. Also, I realized today that I don't have a plan what I want to sew next.<br />
<br />
1. <strike>I want to try myself in lingerie stitching. I have a vintage pattern from 80s of undies.</strike> - DONE!<br />
2. I want to sew shorts! I like this pattern by Grainline studio: <a href="http://shop.grainlinestudio.com/product/maritime-shorts">Maritime shorts</a><br />
3. I love skirts and I want to wear them more often. This <a href="http://shop.grainlinestudio.com/product/moss-mini-skirt">Moss Skirt</a> by Grainline Studio looks nice!<br />
4. And <a href="http://shop.grainlinestudio.com/product/tiny-pocket-tank">this Tiny Pocket tank top</a> is actually on my must-have-this-summer list.<br />
5. <a href="http://megannielsen.com/collections/sewing-patterns/products/darling-ranges-dress-sewing-pattern">This Darling Ranges dress </a>should be good too.<br />
6. Maybe a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/110405305/tiramisu-knit-dress-from-cake-patterns?ref=v1_other_1">Tiramisu dress</a>?<br />
7. <a href="http://shop.byhandlondon.com/product/charlotte-skirt">Charlotte skirt</a><br />
8. Another dress <a href="http://shop.byhandlondon.com/product/elisalex-dress">Elisalex</a> ?<br />
9. And of course <a href="http://www.tillyandthebuttons.com/p/mathilde-blouse-sewing-pattern.html">Mathilde blouse</a><br />
<br />
That's a lot :) <br />
<br />
P.S. I am still tweaking this blog design.

I was inspired by <a href="http://www.tillyandthebuttons.com/2012/11/sewing-for-15-minutes.html">this post</a> by Tilly and The Buttons and decided to give it a try. It works! Before I would not start working on a project if I knew I didn't have at least 30 min. With a baby it's unreal. There is always something that distracts me. And I would push back a project after project. Weeks would come and go and I wouldn't sew anything. So, now I am sewing 15 min every day. If time is up and I still can go on, perfect. If not, it's good too as I am sewing what I have planned before. The result: one pj top for my daughter, pj sweatshirt for me and I just cut out fabric for my daughter's Banyan tee. I am too tired now to stitch it, but I still feel like I accomplished something. Whatever works to boost my creativity :)<br />

Не знаю, как называется висюлька в детскую по-русски :)<br />
<br />
Делается легко из:<br />
1. ручки для сумок, или еще используют пяльцы<br />
2. фетр<br />
3. остатки ткани<br />
4. бусинки<br />
5. бантики<br />
6. пуговицы<br />
7. репсовые ленты<br />
