Happy New 2012 New FREE crochet pattern

2012-01-02T09:51:00.000+02:00

Happy new 2012 ya' all :)

Hope this is going to be super lovely one for us all. I have cute new scarf/shawl pattern for you. This is based on this lovely drops design that I love. Only I wanted it to be less spacey and more warm like. So I have made the following changes.

Also the edge is totally different I wanted softer edge looking.

Instructions:

* Start with a magic ring

Row 1: ch4, {2dc, ch 1, 2dc} in magic ring

Row 2: ch 10, {2dc, ch 1, 2dc} in 1ch space, ch4, double triple crochet (dtr) in 4th ch of beginning chain.

Row 3: ch4, {2dc, ch 1, 2dc} in dtr, ch4, {2dc, ch 1, 2dc} in 1ch space, ch4, {2dc, ch 1, 2dc} in 4th ch of previous chain.

Row 4: ch 10, ({2dc, ch 1, 2dc} in 1ch space, ch 4) x3, dtr in 4th ch of previous chain.

Row 5: ch4, {2dc, ch 1, 2dc} in dtr, ch4, ({2dc, ch 1, 2dc} in 1ch space, ch 4) x3, {2dc, ch 1, 2dc} in 4th ch of previous chain.

Repeat rows 4 and 5 until desired length :)

Optional soft edge look:

Sc, 6ch,sc all around, until center st

at center st, sc, 3ch slst,sc, and continue at sc, 6ch,sc.

Poor sketch but it might help ;)

Enjoy this,

Much love

After lots and lots of skeins, many hours breaking my back by the floor trying to avoid it's heavy weight, I am pleased with it.

I love this challenges weeks, (thanks to Elsie Marley blog :)). It give me just the right push that I need to get started.

Actually, when I first saw the dates I thought I wouldn't be able to join in, since it is our holidays now, but, somehow I did manage to get my sewing/crocheting time each and every night. and I am thankful for that.

Last night, FINALLY, I got to sew what I was planning on sewing first :D.

As usual, not a chance to get a good photo out of this busy working toddler.

I have made this jacket before for my girl, but when I saw this beautiful wool fabric, I knew I will sew it again for my tiny one.

Pattern is from DMK (you know I adore all of her patterns).

I love Simple Simon and co blog, I enjoy following it for each and every post :). So, when I first saw their Audrey Cape Tutorial, I just knew I will have to give it a try. I got this great quality fabric from my hasband's aunt, and this project was really fun and quick with such lovely outcome.

Since making this was less than an hour, I was able to make tiny skirt for my tiny one with this fabric leftovers.

2011-10-11T07:56:00.000+02:00

Day Two started way too early here at our home, the girls did not adjust yet to winter clock time changing, and were up at 5:30AM (brrrrr.. I will get back at them when they'll be teenagers ha ha). Anyways, I was able to do almost the impossible with them - and got to get some photos of my last night making.

With the inspiration of this tutorial, I made 'three pleats skirt', this is nice and quick sewing project and I love the outcome. I also used one of her stained school shirt and "covered" the stain with some fabric scraps.

old stained school shirt

I love this tweed fabric, I had only little of it, I got it as a gift from my husband's aunt among some other lovely wintry fabrics that I hope to be able to show you this week.

Last night I was also able to finish this cute quick poncho for my tine one.

Getting her to pose was much harder he he, But, it is enough for such an early hour ;)

It has been sometime.....well, life does take over sometimes =)

With only one week to go to finish school year, there are lots and lots of activities, parties, and things to get done, that I rarely found the time to craft something.

Today is the last day?? Already?!?! Who stole my time from me? =D I am so happy I took the challenge and joined this KCWC. I got such great inspiration, had fun sewing time in my studio, got to use my fabrics finally, AND the girls has cute Mama made clothes to wear now =).

Last night I stayed up late and got to sew two more dresses (Yay!) I am not done ones this challenge is over, I have many more to go ;).

The set in this post is great for babies! The top is the Prudenrbaby Snappy Toddler Top, and bottoms are again the Button up bloomers from Sewing In No Mans Land.

I love this brilliant pattern, the outcome is just too cute and very comfy for the tiny ones =)

both patterns are free to download and with step to step tutorials, you should give it a go!

kids clothes week #6

2011-05-14T20:55:00.000+03:00

Wow, time is running fast!!! I can't believe this week is almost over..

Finally I was using my fabrics for the girls clothing, I am happy about it, since it was one of my new year's resolution, to use all of my existing fabrics instead of running to buy new ones.

Anyways, this time (again for the forth time ;)) I have made Prudentbaby pretty party dress for baby Alona, but made it out of more casual looking fabrics for everyday use. Now, baby Alona grew out of this pattern, so I had to enlarge it by just a bit, (pray as well) and lucky enough it fits great =).

Also, Made her tiny bloomers to match (but after seeing these pics, I know she will wear them apart :p).

For my bigger one I made the "easy no-hem skirt".

I have to make them both with the same fabrics no matter what, since my bigger one notice it all, and calculate her Mama's making all the time ;).

One more day to go =)

kids clothes week #4

2011-05-12T11:06:00.002+03:00

I bought this fabric right after I got my Serger as a gift =). I love this color so much. I had in plan to make myself a top out of it, and so I did cut the fabric for my top. The lefties looked perfect for baby Alona tunic top. Unfortunately, my serger is not working well :( and I had to sew it with my regular sewing machine (don't like knits there he he).

After I was done with the top, I saw I had enough for tights pants as well. When I was finished, I thought it was missing something, and after adding the white band I am absolutely happy with it =).

There is no pattern really, I just cut the fabric and prayed for the best (he he).

This project took me 20 min. =) I bet that with serger it would even take less :p..

look who is growing way fast than her mama would like :)

I did make another spring skiet for my girl, but I guess that I will upload it tomorrow (so hard to get them to pose =p)

I love watching the KCWC pool so many great clothes!!!

2011-05-11T11:11:00.000+03:00

These fabrics were waiting for such a long time for me to decide what am I going to do with it. When my girl asked me to make her this dress, I knew it will be great to try the Button up bloomers from Sewing In No Mans Land by Kelly Crawford for baby Alona (I was so pleased with the result, that I immediately went to cut some more fabrics for it =D).

The top is also from the butterfly dress pattern, only I shorten it and closed it up with self made bias tape from the dame fabric.

**runnig away from camera

This is really easy and fast to make, the outcome is so great for babies to wear, I highly recommend this =).

I lost track of time during my sewing nights, but I just love it =D. I made the Butterfly dress from Sewing In No Mans Land by Kelly Crawford for baby Alona. I love her blog, she has such great tutorials and cute cute very useful patterns. I plan on making some more version of this one, it is so very cute!

cute little apple button

As I told you before, I am now, due to this headband tutorial, making (almost) with every little thing I sew for the girls, some hair accessories =).

And yes, trying to get fancy photo of a crawling baby is a pain! =D!

KCWC #1

2011-05-10T16:48:00.002+03:00

Yay, KCWC DAY 1! I must confess at first, I did trace and cut some of the fabric before the week started. I was over excited about this sewing boost (That I really needed) =).

The first thing I made is 3 little Simple Spring Skirts. Blue shades for our Independence day today =))

I don't have a nice pic of all of the girls wearing it, manged to get something just with the two of mine BUT I don't have it yet :p, he he.

I also love this headband tutorial, and now I tend to make hair pieces with the fabric lefties, so I made 2 of these as well.

** ~~I think~~ I know the hardest thing this week will be getting photos =D.

Stroller Blanket

2011-05-06T13:40:00.000+03:00

For New Tiny baby boy =). This one is a mixture of cotton and fleee (I find it very useful with my girls ).

I still find it much harder to find "fabric for boys".. I used lots of spots and stripes in this one, because, I knew that his Mama would love it =).

kids clothes week spring 2011

2011-05-05T12:12:00.000+03:00

I really needed this boost to start sewing spring and summer clothes for the girls, there are so many great great ideas, patterns and tutorial that I am dying to try, and others that I adore and want to make new ones as well. So, I have decided to join this challange =) by Elsie Marley. I am browsing some great tutorials knowing that finally I am going to use my cottons that I bought for the girls =D.

All the clothes will be added to the Flickr groop as well as posted here.

I do hope that with my crawling baby I'll be able to do so (well, if not an hour a day it will be few hours in the night :p).

If you are joining as well, go through my Links to love , there are so many great sewing ideas for kids!

Much love

It is getting warmer

2011-05-02T23:25:00.000+03:00

The girls are having so much fun when the sun is popping out (I might start liking warm weather =)). I was so  "busy" having fun with them, I REALLY did enjoy our time off together.

Now, that we are back on track, I did manage to get some things at my crafty to do list done. 

This dress was drafted by myself, based on this cute cute tutorial. I thought it would be nice tunic but it came out long enough for it to be a dress he he. I don't like this fabric on her, but she wanted it so much..

I also made the cute headband based on this tutorial, also from Sewing in No Mans Land blog (but didn't get a photo of it).

I am cutting fabrics like crazy now - I really want to make some clothes for the girls and join in to the KCWC this time =).

Much love

Repurposing: Shirt into Skirt with Wide Elastic Band

2011-04-24T07:11:00.000+03:00

I usually don't have anything I don't need or use around my house, including clothes. As growing up, my mother always made sure, that if we just might store it, someone else can enjoy it. Ever since I can remember, each season changing we have our donations gather. Now, while I am sewing, I see so many lovely ideas and tutorials for refashioning that I had to give it a go. So, when my close friend gave me a bag full of clothing - I made sure I was having good look at it to see if and what I can refashion from =). And so I did!

made hair clip from shirt lefties

This one, was an adult shirt, that I cut according to this tutorial from Make it and Love it, and added an elastic wide band as this tutorial by Dana from Made say =) I love how it turns out (and so does little one :)).

Much love

I think this is going to be great!!!!!

Tiny Ice Cream Top

2011-04-18T00:21:00.000+03:00

Although my Serger isn't working well right now, I had to give this top a try. So, it wasn't easy as it should - but I am happy with it.

I used the Free Warhol dress pattern by Dana from Made, only I shorten it to make a top and not a dress. Her tutorial is so great, very easy to follow, and addictive I must say =D.

so very hard to get a photo out of a crawler he he

Fabric: Scraps of knit that I had around for some time now.

Pattern: The Warhole Dress.

Dan.A drape dress

2011-04-16T08:34:00.001+03:00

You already know how much I love DMK patterns. Now, my latest faves in sewing for me is DMK WOMEN which is under the Dan.A label. Seriously, you just can't go wrong with her patterns!

Fly test ;)

So you can guess, I was thrilled to be given the option to test this drape tunic dress. This one is just in continuing to this one. Very COZY! Comfortable, and great to wear while running after the kiddies =) but, also, would be nice with the right make-up, shoes and jewelry for a night out.

I know I know..

The fun parts are that it was so easy and quick to sew this one! And, the way that this pattern is build I think I would like to try and make a cute top from it is upper part only =).

would be nice - just as a top as well

Last, I must say that my patterned fabric here is very bad choice for this lovely pattern, since you can't really see the beauty of the tunic at the bottom part, it should be made out of solids ones...(note for my next one :)).

Yay, he he, me over excited

Fabric: Printed knit (I think now that it was too expensive for its quality..)

Pattern: Dan.A

we set the timer so we will finally have us all in one photo =)

Little things

2011-04-13T14:08:00.012+03:00

I am addicted...the cutie is overtaking our house soon =D

Pattern is Free from here. I did not make it as cover, but stuffed and closed it for the girls to play with this strange looking amigurumi doll. If you'd like it close I simply did sc2tog (sc decrease) all the way around to the end, and fasten off =).

My Cozy Twister Tunic Top

2011-04-12T11:40:00.000+03:00

While being with the girls after school days, I like to wear comfortable clothes! Running, lifting, releasing, gathering, singing, playing, cleaning and getting dirty, well you know it all - I want to be able to move free - And still look something like a Woman and not just as Mother =).

And while Weight loss is still an issue I am working on since giving birth, I was browsing for some nice patterns that will answer my needs (so far he he).

And this is why I really like this 'Twister dress' pattern. Very easy and quick to sew, each fabrics will give it a different 'twist' ;). I made from this pattern not only casuals and it is great! =) (One day I'll get photo..) It is VERY COMFORTABLE!!!

Fabric: Light knit 15% stretch. Was really good bargain - I got around 4 m' from it =D. (I love the tiny glitters).

Pattern : Free from Burdastyle by apfelbluete.

Almost Spring

2011-04-11T14:39:00.003+03:00

well yeh, that's the best I could get =p

After baby Alona was born, I have to make two of each (no matter what it is =D) I MUST learn that already by now!!!

I made baby Alona tiny skirt and tiny diaper cover. My girl immediately asked for herself one as well =).

I could not get a nice photos of them both wearing it though, tiny one didn't agree to have her skirt on at all =D.

I love this fabric!

Fabric: Light weight 100% cotton (from local shop 'fabrics for designers').

Patterns: Skirts - Simple skirt, Dana from 'Made' tutorial. Diaper cover - Free pattern and tutorial from Prudentbaby.

Tiny crochet cuties

2011-04-10T17:55:00.000+03:00

Just two tines, made for a friend cheer =).

The cute koala pattern is free from here, I have decided to make it cream and lavender <3.

This one is hair clip =) I have no pattern for it, I just made it up as I crocheted it.

and to wrap it all nicely, I sewed little drawstring bag. I am happy to say that she did like the little attention gift =).

Lavender and Violet Baby Blanket

2011-04-08T08:43:00.000+03:00

I have some family and friends babies on the way =)), so you might see lots of baby stuff around here. This one has one side fleece and the other 100% cotton rectangles.

It was so mice for a change to get some babies sewing done.

Much love

I couldn't help it =D

2011-04-07T14:22:00.000+03:00

Check out these beautiful elastics =). I went inside this new tiny shop that had them piled up, all on one another, and rolled to the Wrong side..(WHY??) It was very hard to browse them (since I was with baby Alona and her stroller in this tiny shop..and they were back facing).

They were for 2$ only, I will definitely will go back there alone, they had some amazing elastics there. It would be great for interesting circular skirts.

Cowl Neck Vest

2011-04-02T18:22:00.000+03:00

Sorry no good pics this time as well =p

I find it very hard (and almost impossible) to get a good photo of my "sewing for me" new ones. I just don't know how you all get to pull this off... My husband is working most of the time, and on weekends, I am usually behind the Cam, and he is busy playing with the girls =P.... If we do, somehow manage to get some photos of mine - he he it is so awful, blurry, puke stains, or photos of my face only he he and you name it...

Anyway, this top is one of my faves for the past warm days =). Very comfortable, (easy to breast feed with) and this is really my day to day style. I have already cut few other fabrics for this one, since I love it so much.

Fabric: light Knit, just perfect for the weather.

Pattern: from the lovely DMK Women.

Sewing For Me - Shawl Wrap Cardigan

2011-03-21T23:26:00.000+02:00

I had perfect time with my family this holiday (Purim). Tomorrow we are all getting back to our routine life. Yes, I am happy about it (I might get some time for myself, or even will able to snick bit of sewing here and there) But, I somehow feel sad it was over so soon. I was able (somehow, with my sister's help) to get some photos of my latest fav sewing project =).

This cardi is soooooooo cool! I am wearing it all the time (Ha! =D). It is comfy and so versatile, you can wear it in SO MANY WAYS and this is what I love the most about it. (I did not get pics of all the wearable option due to lack of time =().

Pattern is from DMK-Women <3.

fabric is cozy blended stretch wool.

Another pair =)

2011-03-12T17:45:00.000+02:00

I am so happy to say, that I AM actually following my new year's resolutions (as in crafting =)), weight watch, and such are still heavy on the list ...) But, as for my Fabric growing collection, I have decided to USE all of my fabrics and not to get cheap on them =D. I can always buy more if I'll run out of it =). So, this fabric is mixed wool with tiny glitters, I love it, and kept saving it for the right time. After my little asked me to make her "lots and lots of pants" as her Jeggins, I have decided that this fabric is perfect for that.

She says it is super comfy and did not want to take them off at night =D.

And guess what, I still got plenty of this fabric left (yay!)

Pattern is from DMK.

Much love

Ooty

Happy with her Jeggins =D

2011-03-11T12:53:00.000+02:00

Cute pair isn't it? She loves it, and now she keeps on asking for many in different colors =D. This pattern is great, I tell you, you can't go wrong with it.

I used thick 15% stretched jeans fabric for it, because it is wintry around. I highly recommend this one, I did cut few more different fabrics for this one, it will look cute with knit or wool as well =).

Pattern is from DMK.

Today finally my husband is coming back home! After two weeks of being a single mama I can tell ya' I am waiting for some ME time =))!!!

I was not really able to get done with some of my projects done, but here, and there I got some bits and bits of sewing time.

So I have decided to give a try, and "fix" some of my tops that are stained with baby food =P.

This is my first try out - and I like it (for the 5 minutes it took me I can't complain =)).

( sorry for pic quality, iphone is to blame, ha!)

Portable Crib Bumper and Giveaway winner

2011-03-07T09:05:00.000+02:00

Sewing life with a Serger are so much fun =). Here is a newbie for baby Alona Nursery. This bumper is matching her changing mat that I have made earlier this week. Now I feel much better about her staying the night in her own little bed =).

While I was making it, I did cut by accident the same piece twice, and noticed it only after I sewed it together. Luck enough, while I folded it over, I saw it was the same size as her little pillow, and one more stitch line, and it was pillow cover to match the becoming set. Ha! =)

And.........as RANDOM.ORG said :

Giveaway winner is The lovely:*Tea

Thank you all for joining it, hope to see you again at the next one soon!

I love this elastic, I knew she would adore it the minute I saw it =D.

2011-03-02T15:03:00.001+02:00

I planned on making this one while I was still pregnant, and somehow I always pushed it aside and made other stuff for baby Alona Nursery.

Luckily my sister in law surprised me this weekend and bought me my very first Serger (Yay!!!!) so things are going by so much faster (wooohooo) =)
