<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to share with you my last Project from last year. Ups!! I know, it's April!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, here it is <a href="http://www.mingoandgrace.com/shop/paper/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Blake Dress</span></a> from <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><a href="http://www.mingoandgrace.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Mingo & Grace</span></a>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I tested this dress last November and I have to say sorry for the pictures. We had few light those days and always gray.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These pictures were the last pictures I took to <b>Little Girl</b> with my camera. She definitely hates be in front of the camera. She runs everytime I took it. This photoshoot was full of cry and I got a million of pictures of her back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, about the dress. I like this dress a lot. It's a classic dress with a full pleated skirt and includes hidden pockets. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To make the <b>"full full"</b> skirt Farrah shows in the pictures of the dress, you need heavy weights fabrics or with almost none drape (in denim looks great). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Little Girl</b> was between two sizes when I tested the pattern, so I made two dresses.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first one was size 12 month with quilting cotton. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I like this dress, but you don't get the full skirt with quilting cotton.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The second one was size 18 month in satin. I found this pale pink satin in my local fabric shop. The fabric has texture, like bubbles. I was in love with this fabric and I came back to the store to buy more. I don't know what else can I do with it but if I need it I have it. (Feeding my hoarder soul, ups!)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This pattern is so beautiful and I think is great for a wedding or big event. <b>Little Girl</b> wore this dress for Christmas. Now she can't wear it because its not her size.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think I will be <b>"not present"</b> for a while or until <b>Little Girl</b> allows me to take pictures of her with the camera. I say this because it's not the same with my phone. She loves those pictures and selfies are her favourites. So, I'm <b>"active"</b> in Instagram.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm still sewing for her but little things and gifts for friends. We had visitors too. My sister in law was here for three months and my brother during February, so I was focus in other things too. My SIL sewed for her a dress with my help (no pictures, sorry). I teached her everything I know and it was a very good experience.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was still summer here and I tested this Jumper from <a href="http://onceuponasewingmachine.com/" target="_blank">Once Upon a Sewing Machine.</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I think this dress is perfect for cold days. It was designed for medium to heavier weights fabrics. Cozy fabrics for autumn and winter.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I sewed two dresses with corduroy. I made two because Little Girl was between sizes and I didn't know which size was better for her. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The first one I did, it was sew with a medium weight corduroy I bought via Facebook. I don't remember where.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's a beautiful fabric colour teal or similar. The lining is like broadcloth but heavier in bright yellow.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This dress has buttons in the waistband in front and back. I put two snaps in the center of the waistband. Only one of them works like a button. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To join the waistband with the bib I put hand sew snaps inside so you can't see them from the outside and in the back two more yellow snaps.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well, I planned this post a month ago but things happened and now it's starting to get chilly here. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Chilly enough to remember warm and hot days! Hahahaha.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>What is "Cafe Helado"?</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">An delicious beverage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The translation is <i>"Iced Coffee"</i> but it's not the same <i>Iced Coffee</i> you buy in Drive Thru Stores. Nop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Cafe Helado</b> is my favorite drink since I was a child. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I started drinking coffee because this drink.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you don't drink coffee, like someone I know in Blogland, there is another equally yummy version my kids love.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Cafe Helado</b> is a refreshing drink for hot days or pouring days. I love both.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Milk. </b>The one you like. Cow, goat and almond milk taste good. Coconout milk is a little complicated because it doesn't mix well with ice cream.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>How I drink it?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In a cup I put ice cream. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When espresso is ready I pour it in the cup and like is hot, Vanilla ice cream start to melt. Then, I add milk carefully to see the separation. Coffee in the bottom and white in the middle. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I coudn't take a picture of this because there are always little impatient hands eating or touching the things I want to take picture.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now the non-coffee version; <b>CHOCOLATE HELADO!!!</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Other thing, I didn't understand until I sewed the versions in red that you have four different options to sew the back.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I understand why this pattern is a <b>number # 1</b> for Jenya. It's easy to put together and you can embelished it with wathever you want. (I choose lace for <i><span style="color: #d5a6bd;">Little Girl's</span></i> dress). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Love how the dress looks. I think the pattern is perfect for little girls and it is short like vintage patterns. If you don't like short dresses, you can make it longer or a pair of leggings can help too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I only changed one thing to the original instructions. I put a zipper in the back instead a button. Me and my zipper love!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have mixed feelings about this dress because I love it but it looks a lot like the uniform I wore at school. My uniform was a navy blue jumper with zipper in the back without pleats, plain. My mother had a pattern and every two years she sewed my uniform . I don't remember if the last year at school she sewed one or not, I just remember that I hated my jumper because I looked like a bell and my friends wore a close fitting jumper bought in a department store and they looked great. Well, some things I remember from my school's years. ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello! I'm here with Project 12. Yeah, 12!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I will talk about the others later.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Finally, I can show you these pictures. </span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had the opportunity to test this cute dress. <span style="color: silver;">"Charlie Dress"</span> from <a href="http://www.mingoandgrace.com/blog/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3ab09e;">Mingo & Grace</span> </a>.This is the first pattern from the talented Farrah. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #999999;"><i>"Sleeveless, swingy silhouette </i><i>is fitted </i></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #999999;"><i>through </i></span></span><span style="color: #999999;"><i>shoulders </i><i>with a dropped waist that </i><i>finishes</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #999999;"><i> with an </i><i>oh-so-cute </i><i>gathered flounce skirt </i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #999999;"><i>that is </i><i>perfect for twirling".</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #999999;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This dress is in several sizes 12 month to 12 years. It's a PDF pattern with layered tiles to choose only the size you want. <span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">"Charlie Dress"</span> is easy to sew and put all together but you will need to use a skill or maybe learn a new one, "Bias Tape Facing", around neckline and armholes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I will show you the test version. The back is closed with button and loop. But </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I chose zipper in both dresses. Why? Because was part of the test. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The first dress is size 2 with zipper in a mysterious fabric I bought somewhere. I don't remember, sorry!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You can see my armhole in this picture. I sewed it with a wide double bias tape. It's not recommendable or you'll finish with an armhole and neckline like mine. It's better a thinner bias tape.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My second dress was size 18 month with zipper. The fabric is from the line <span style="color: #999999;">"Littlest"</span> from AGF. I love all the prints.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When I was sewing this dress, Farrah asked to cut the ruffle 2" from the original but was too short for a dress. So, I cut 1" more and finished with this flounce top.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well, I couldn't participate in PR&P's final challenge. My computer felt down and we lost all the information saved. We sent it to be repaired and after two weeks, yesterday arrived home. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We lost all the documents and pictures from this year. The rest was in other hard drive. Thank God is April and not October!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, I didn't share my pictures in PR&P, was not possible but I want to share with you the last project I made. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I sewed this dress for Little Girl, with some favourites for me: Denim, dark colour, baby colours, snaps.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My first favourite, Denim! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is a stretch denim. I don't like too much the stretchy thing, so I washed it with hot water and later dried it in hot too. I really don't know if shrinks but it's not super stretchy now. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Contrasting colour, I chose my favorite, now! <i><span style="color: orange;"><b>Verde agua</b></span> </i>or "mint" or "baby green". I'm not sure the name but is the same fabric I used <span style="color: magenta;"><a href="http://dottedwhalelearn.blogspot.ca/2013/07/week-28-we-are-not-alone.html">here</a>.</span> When I was a little girl I hated this colour so much and my mother loved it. I hope Little Girl likes it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I would love to know Rapa Nui and I would love to participate in their festival called Tapati.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It´s every February and there is a lot of fun things. One of them is the body paint parade. This parade is for support one of two candidates for Queen of the Tapati Rapa Nui festival. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In Chile you find them in a different section called "Terrarium" with spider, snakes and other little creatures. The weird thing was turtles and sea turtles were always together one next to the other. Why a sea turtle is in a Terrarium? No idea.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had two turtles when I lived in Chile with my parents. Their names were "Chica"(small) and "Grande"(big), paradoxically the big one was "Chica". They were fast. My turtles heard my dad when he came home after work and ran to say Hello to him. He was the one who fed them. Turtles are so pretty and I never think they could act like that.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The fabric I chose for the crossover tunic is my favorite, denim. I had this navy blue denim saved for a long time in my stash.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I cut the lining bigger than the denim, just a little. The lining fabric sneaks and add color to the denim.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to make a reversible tunic but the hot pink and navy blue gingham plaid works better like lining than outer fabric.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used kam snaps instead buttons because I'm a kam snap's addict and my machine didn't want to sew button holes. I put pockets but Little Girl is not interested in them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">I chose a size 2 for my daughter (19 month). Looks a little big for her but I like bigger because here in Alberta is cold and she will wear it with a lot of layers under. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She likes it. She wants to wear it everyday, always a good sign.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My love for <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LouBeeClothing?ref=em" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Lou Bee Clothing</span></a> started when I saw <b>Doli Tank</b>, I don't remember where.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought it had the most beautiful back, so pretty but my Little Girl was so small to wear it. Then, <b>Hosh Pants</b> came and I bought it. Later, I won <b>Doli Tank</b> and during <i>Bimaa Sweater's Tour</i> I won it too. Lucky Me!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And what you can do when you have all these brilliant patterns. SEW!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first one I sewed was<b> Doli Tank.</b> I sewed three for the girls who came to Little Girl's First Birthday <a href="http://dottedwhalelearn.blogspot.ca/2013/08/week-30-little-girls-bithday.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">(here)</span></a>. Like always, I waited until the same day to sew the hem and only took one picture with my phone. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I sewed with a white knit and the dots were made with fabric markers.</span></div>

Hi you!<br />
<br />
There are some things I sewed during 2013 and I didn´t talk about them in the blog.<br />
<br />
Why? Because I finished them in the last minute or didn´t have the camera or because the pictures stayed in my computer, sleeping until now.<br />
<br />
The first garment I will show you is a tee I sewed for Little Girl.<br />
<br />
<br />

This tee is so soft, she wears it to sleep.<br />
The red knit is from a tee her Big Brother didn´t wear and the knit for sleeves is a fabric absolutely soft.<br />
<br />
Next time maybe I show you what I did for KCW. I used the same knit.<br />
I know is late but<b> "Mas vale tarde que nunca"</b>, something like:<b> "It is better now than never" </b>or "<b>Soon than later".</b> I love to talk like that.<br />
<br />
<br />
A big hug for you.<br />

Happy New Year!!!<br />
Hi<br />
<br />
Happy New Year, my best wishes for you.<br />
I know I´m late for greetings but I was on vacations.<br />
In Chile, for 35 days. 35 short days.<br />
<br />
OMG. It was so short. I want to go again and visit all those places I couldn´t see this time.<br />
But we will go again, I don't know when but I'm sure everything will be in the same place.<br />
<br />
I have not too much pictures to share. I took pictures with my phone, because we couldn't find our camera before to go to the airport. :(<br />
<br />
So, this is a warning. I will put a lot of pictures, not so good and mostly all about my kids.<br />
<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Our trip started in Chillán, a city located 5 hours to the south of the capital city, Santiago. We went to visit my grandmother. Was absolutely hot. We stayed there for a couple of days and then we went to my inlaws who live closer to Santiago (3 hours), in Curicó. </span></div>

That picture with my cousin. We used to fight like that when we were little girls.<br />
<br />
It was a good trip. Kids could spent time with family and now they ask me to go almost everynight to visit their grandmothers.<br />
<br />
Melt my heart everytime they asked me.<br />
<br />
A big hug for you<br />

I'm still here.<br>
<br>
I tested a new pattern.<br>
<br>
Do you remeber the<a href="http://www.aestheticnest.com/2013/07/sewing-bateau-neck-top-pattern-giveaway.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"> Bateau Neck Top</span></a>? I do.

We spent a great time taking pictures.<br>
<br>
This new pattern is<span style="color: purple;"> <b><a href="http://www.aestheticnest.com/2013/11/sewing-prairie-rose-set-pattern.html" target="_blank">The Prairie Rose Set</a>.</b></span><span style="color: magenta;"> </span>The second pattern from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/WeeMuses?ref=si_shop" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Wee Muses Sewing Pattern</span></a>.<br>
Anneliese made a beautiful girly set, including Dress, Blouse, Maxi Skirt and the cutest Pants. The first time I saw it I remembered Laura Ingalls running down the hill.<br>
<br>
I tested the dress in size 18 months. My girl is growing, not only she is taller she is gaining a lot of weight too. Haha.<br>

I have to say the pattern includes ruffles and gather fabric. If you want to learn how to do that, this pattern is for you. The tutorial explains very well and step by step. </div>

If you don't like ruffles this pattern is not for you.</div>

Sorry for the pictures. I took them inside the house. Is winter here in Calgary and even with the good weather we have right now is not warm for a little girl in a voile dress. ;)</div>

Hayley and her beautiful daughter?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If not, got to check it. Hayley sews beautiful dresses and outfits for her daughter with awesome fabrics. But she not only sews for her daughter. She has a<a href="http://www.welcometothemousehouse.com/p/tutorials.html" target="_blank"> <span style="color: magenta;">tutorial page</span></a> where she shares home decorations, recipes and a lot of other things and now she is selling her first pattern.</span></div>

<i>The Norah pattern is a versatile pattern, you can choose several options. Dress or tunic. Three collar versions or without. Sleveless, short sleeves, long sleeves. The kind of pattern I like. </i></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made two dresses and one tunic, different sizes and different sleeves and some mistakes too.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first one is a dress, with long sleeves, size 18 month with a wrong collar. The pattern said cut the collar </span><b style="font-size: x-large;">ON FOLD</b><span style="font-size: large;">. I didn´t and the result is this adorable dress with Peter Pan collar.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I think she is growing, this looks so funny. I choosed the right size for her and her chest measure but looks tight with an extra layer under the tunic. The collar doesn't look very good. Is what happen when you are testing. This version is collar with cinch and ties. I didn´t put interface in the collar. I think looks better.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Later, I made a second dress when the pattern was ready. This dress is size 18 month, sleeveless without collar and without lining. I sewed a bias tape in the arm holes and neck to hide the borders. Looks like piping.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> About this dress I really like faux piping. The pumpking color in the collar in the first dress is faux piping too.

I wrote this post a lot of times before posted it. It's not a post about sewing or crafting, is About Me.<br />
It's difficult talk about myself and in english. I want to tell you so many thing and can't put them together.<br />
So I'll do my best.<br />
<br />
Well, I'm Carolina. Chilean, mother of three. I was born in 1980 and soon will be my birthday.<br />
My mother called me something like Lady Clutter but in Spanish, because I'm a mess. I was not sewing the last weeks, I was decluttering my home thanks to a fantastic website I found. (FlyLady.net)<br />
<br />
And comeback to this post.<br />
<br />
Here, there is some pictures.<br />
<br />
I am that little girl.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>I think the picture in the first line, the last one, was during 84'-85' summer. So I was 4 years old and she is my mom.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now, I'm living in Canada. This is our second year here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We moved because my husband found a better job and until now life is better here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Did I miss something from Chile? Well, yes a lot of things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
First, I missed all kind of food, bread, Dulce de Leche, some vegetables, beans, even milk tasted me different. Now we're gluten free, my kids can't drink cow milk and I made my own Dulce de Leche in my slow cooker.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I missed be outside all year, above zero temperatures in winter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I miss other things too. Family, of course. You always miss them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The thing I miss more is my city or my environment, I don't know how to explain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I lived almost all my life in a city where you can see the ocean in every corner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Pacific Ocean was there in every window, in the morning mist, in the salty wind. You can smell it, you can taste it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The moisture made horrible things with your hair too. Hahaha. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Before we moved, we lived in a little town, more like a beach, 20 minutes to my city. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Every night, around 7 p.m. the mist covered the town, <strike>always</strike> <span style="color: #45818e;">all</span> was wet after the mist but you could smell the ocean.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We lived close to a<i> gas and oil company</i>, so if the wind was in the other direction you could smell the gas from the company. I better don't remember that part.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Anyway. Today is September 11th. I wait to write this post until today because today is an important date. Not only because the shocking 9/11. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In Chile, 40 years ago, in 1973, was a <i>coup d'etat</i>. A group of men related with military power(military, marine, air force, police), and with Uncle Sam's help, took the goverment. That day and years later every person who thought different or weren't agree with them were persecuted and disappeared. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A lot of mothers and grandmothers never knew again about their sons or grandsons, even unborn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
That date divided Chileans in a brutal and horrendous way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I lived a period in that time and I remember be at home early (curfew). Didn't trust in neighbours because they could denounce you. Some nights without lights. People without job, without food. And my father's cousins went to live to Europe because they couldn't live in their country.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now, in these days, people could watch on TV some images from those years. . Videos from films recorded for international journalist . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Those images weren't allow before to be watched in Chile. I didn't learn at school about this period it wasn't allowed either.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Today, Chile is still divided. Still there is people who lives around this date and I know today will be better be at home early, just in case. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm sorry if I bored you but this is a part of my life. A part of me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
A while ago, I was looking for underwear pattern. Thinking about my LB and his training pants. I found some patterns but I didn't like them because I already knew what i wanted.<br />
<br />
You know I have an obsession for patterns in dutch. I don't know why but I love them. Even I have a book my husband gave me for mothers day, <a href="http://mmezsazsaordent.blogspot.be/2013/05/cover-by-mme-zsazsa-on-flickr.html" target="_blank">"Allemaal Rokje"</a>, I hope to start to sew for me very soon.<br />
<br />
Well, the pattern I wanted it wasn't available. It was part of an event, a raise funds.<i>(<a href="http://www.vankatoen.org/info/" target="_blank">Van Katoen</a>)</i> I don't know if it was my luck or a mistake from the designer but was for sale again and I bought inmediately. I think next day the pattern wasn't.<br />
<br />
The pattern is ONDERGOED VOOR VAN KATOEN. Is a pattern for boys and girls, in 5 sizes 86/92, 98/104, 110/116, 122/128 en 134/140. The pattern includes undershirt<i> (tank or A shirt, I don't know the difference)</i> , boxer brief, and girl's boy short <i>(I had not idea about these names)</i>.<br />
<br />
Since summer started I wanted to sew tees with no sleeves or tanks for boys. But I had other plans and relatives came and I never found time for sew.<br />
<br />
When we start week 33 and we prepared things to go to camping. I cut quickly a couple of tees for boys and finished minutes before to go. (My husband was sooo happpppyyyyyy, HA!)<br />
<br />
We took our camera with us but battery died. So pictures had to wait until we comeback.<br />
<br />
And now we have pictures.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn0RUakWDFX3QH3DOS0An2CXV2tmVHvFjrGBdzvf55k6CcMsrC1d52rECvVKSLaYZPrV4VkFS86hct85AfesPwbyhU1A_wtaBOe-7kVDoyiyXWjFQAR_u6ZXP5JHyo_-FP5I_pbjc07jib/s1600/DSC_6131.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn0RUakWDFX3QH3DOS0An2CXV2tmVHvFjrGBdzvf55k6CcMsrC1d52rECvVKSLaYZPrV4VkFS86hct85AfesPwbyhU1A_wtaBOe-7kVDoyiyXWjFQAR_u6ZXP5JHyo_-FP5I_pbjc07jib/s1600/DSC_6131.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I didn't topstistch shoulders and necks or made the hem. I will fix only the topstitch part because I like them without hem.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFaEuUzMVndsoY5_YvVIUeUh3WjGoX6DfwrKKP54y_ag7R93e0l8Kh5zK3LLX-YBcgQExiffsEthbT1ilgZPV53_8Q6qIUUL0fbHyEy-3qFZZSkAExaWY7mb7mnnHS2dCMz70bUT6w9PME/s1600/DSC_6163copia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFaEuUzMVndsoY5_YvVIUeUh3WjGoX6DfwrKKP54y_ag7R93e0l8Kh5zK3LLX-YBcgQExiffsEthbT1ilgZPV53_8Q6qIUUL0fbHyEy-3qFZZSkAExaWY7mb7mnnHS2dCMz70bUT6w9PME/s1600/DSC_6163copia.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I made a couple for each boy with a fabric (knit) I found in my local shop. The fabric is light weight and one of the tees is twisted after the laundry.<br />
<br />
Is a good pattern. Always with good images if you don't understand a word. I hope they sell it again.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Boys put tees in the laundry machine to be wash the next day. Is gooood.<br />

<i>(During week 32 I was testing this new pattern)</i><br />
<br />
The Hanami is <a href="http://www.straight-grain.com/">Straight Grain</a>'s new pattern.<br />
<br />
Is easy to sew with easy to follow instructions, pretty and has variations. YEAH!!!<br />
Thank you An, I love variations.<br />
<br />
What do you want to sew for your girl?<br />
<br />
Dress or Top<br />

This pattern will be with you for 10 YEARS!!! Yes, because is in size 1 to 10 Y, including 18 month.<br />
<br />
Mint dress <i><a href="http://www.chile-excepcion.com/images/stories/chili-par-region/patagonie/porvenir-arquitectura-big.jpg">(inspiration)</a></i> is size 1Y. Is shorter than specifications because my girl is below the chart and because I like shorter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I made a dress before the mint one. Like a muslin version. Is longer and I had problems with the collar. If you buy the pattern you won't have the same problem.<br />

The top is size 18 month. Well, my girl is petite. The top is wide for her.<br />
We found another allergy and eliminated the food from her diet and now she is gaining weight!!! I hope the top will fit her for Christmas.<br />
The sleeves are wrong, I just realized when I saw the pictures. Ann warns you about it in the tutorial. UPS!<br />
The back is very beautiful and I used snaps instead buttons.<br />

The tutorial has pictures and diagrams. Specifications in centimeters and inches and a Chart for finished garment. So you can compare <b>THAT</b> very suitable top or dress your daughter love and then you choose the size.<br />
<br />
The pattern doesn't use the whole page, so you can print it in letter or A4. Printing Instruction includes a chart with the pages you need to print for your choosen size. Print less, always welcome.<br />
<br />
Will I sew again this top or dress? Definitely. I love it!!<br />
<br />
What are you waiting?? Go and get your<a href="http://www.straight-grain.com/2013/08/pattern-release-hanami-top-or-dress-2.html"> Hanami</a>!!!<br />
