New curtains
I've been looking for some curtains for my bedroom window and liked nothing. And then I stumbled upon big sheer scarf with yellow dips. I cut it in half and hemmed cut side. I am in love with how it turned out:

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.
P.S. Look at those stripes matching each other!
My version 2 of the same pattern with a pocket this time:

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.

Archer Sew Along: one tip
I am following Grainline's Arher Sew Along and yesterday it was Day 6: Assembling the Back Views. 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 :)
