Things I made in 2013

Cute Elephants tee

Another Banyan tee from Figgy's Patterns and lovely fabric from Girl Charlee fabric:

Reversible Bucket Hat

Sun is out and my daughter needed a new hat. I used pattern by Oliver+S and followed A Little Gray's tutorial 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:

Scoop top v.1 and 2

I have been busy sewing up some new cool things! First I tried Scoop Top free pattern from Skirt As Top 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.

         

My version 2 of the same pattern with a pocket this time:

P.S. Look at those stripes matching each other!

Dixie DIY's Hot Cocoa and pattern grading

Tried myself at pattern grading and played with Dixie DIY Hot Cocoa Sweater. 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.

       

Banyan Tee from Figgys Patterns

And it's finished: Banyan Tee from Figgy's Patterns! 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.

The fabric is from Girl Charlee Fabrics 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.
