T-paitoja, niitä kuluu kesällä enemmän mitä laki sallii. Koska rakastan raitoja (kuka olisi uskonut...), niin tässäkin niitä on. Ja koska on kesä, niin tietysti keltaista ja valkoista, sekä hieman mustaa kangastussia. En tiedä saako kuvista selvää, mutta siinä on rytmiviiva ja sana 'beat' kaunolla viivaan kirjoitettuna. Juniori kun ei oiken meinaa paikoillaan pysyä.</div>

T-shirts, The Boy gets them dirty pretty quickly, so you have to have lots of them. 'Cause let's face it, I don't want to be doing laundry when it's warm and sunny outside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know I love stripes, so here's a bit more of them. Yellow and white with a hint of black fabric marker. I don't know if you see it from the pictures (as he just couldn't keep still) but there's beat written on the shirt.</div>

Tälläiset mekot on muistoissa omasta lapsuudesta. Muistan omistaaneeni useamman tälläisen, lyhyempänä tosin ja äidin ompelemana tietysti.</div>

I remember these kind of dresses from my childhood. I had several shorter ones all sewn by my mother of course.</div>

Näitä on nopea tehdä. Ainoa mihin saa uppoamaan aikaa, on kuminauhalangan puolaaminen. Oma koneeni (mikään niistä kolmesta) ei sitä tarpeeksi tiukalle puolaa, joten teen sen käsin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tämä on tehty noin metrin pitkästä ja 140cm leveästä Marimekon kangaspalasta. Yksi sauma taakse ja rullapäärmeet reunoihin. Sitten kevyt kiristys alalankaan, piston pituus pisimmälle mahdolliselle ja paininjalan etäisyydeltä ympäri ja ympäri. Lopuksi vielä pinkkiä pitsiä olkaimiksi.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is so simple and fast to do - Except for spooling. None of my three sewing machines don't co-operate when it comes to elastic thread, so I have to do it by hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This dress is made of 1m long and 1,4m wide piece of cotton batiste (by Marimekko). One seam at the back and rolled hems to both ends. Then a slight tightening to bobbin thread, stitch lenght to max and around we go, for as long as we like. Finally some cotton lace for the straps.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Kun mekossa on tilaa, siinä voi tehdä vaikka näin. Oma, melkein selkärangaton yhdeksänvuotiaani taipuu ja taipuu. Itse en ehkä enää tähän taipuisi, mutta oli se aika hauskaa kun taipui. Eipä sitä itsekkään paljon muuta kesällä tehnyt, kun kärrynpyöriä, siltoja ja käsillä seisontaa.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

There's even room in the dress to do this. My nearly spineless nine year old bends and bends. I propably couldn't do this anymore but I do remeber it was fun. </div>

Materiaalina puuvilla chambray ja kaava vapaasti kankaalle piirretty. Rakastan tälläisiä yksinkertaisia ja helppoja kesämekkoja. Kaveriksi tarvitaan vain hattu, sekä tennarit/sandaalit/ballerinat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kangas on vielä hiukan jäykkää, mutta mitä enemmän tätä pesee, sitä pehmeämmäksi se muuttuu.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Material is cotton chambray and I drew the pattern straight to the fabric. I love this kind of 'No fuss'-dresses. All you need is a hat and sneakers, or pumps, or sandals - you can wear it pretty much with anything. Need to make one for myself too. I actually bought the same print in grey, but it turned out to be faulty. And I'm not quite there yet to be wearing exactly the same print, colour and style with my kids.</div>

Täällä taas, pitkästä aikaa. Vuoden 2014 ensimmäinen postaus ja ensimmäinen muutenkin pitkään aikaan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ommellut kyllä olen, mutta en ole löytänyt inspiraatiota bloggaukseen. Tämä taas osittain johtuu siitä, etten jaksa blogata vaatteita joissa ei ole "mitään". Niitä olen siis ommellut - peruspertsoja ja -pirjoja käytettäväksi päiväkodissa ja koulussa. Oma työ on ollut lähiaikoina niin kiireistä, että kaikki extra on ollut liian aikaavievää.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Edelleen kiireinen, mutta hitto vieköön, minun on ommeltava enemmän. Tuntuisi pitävän pään paremmin kasassa.</div>

It has taken it's time, but here it is. First post of 2014 and first in a long long time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been sewing, but haven't had the interest to blog about them. And after a while, I found blogging basic clothes, with no twist boring. And that's what I've been sewing, basics, such as t-shirts and pants for the kids to wear in school/day care. I've been so busy with my own job that anything more just wasn't possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still busy, but heck I need to sew more. It seems to keep me from going insane.</div>

Olen äärimmäisen onnellinen asuessani maassa, jossa on erittäin ihania naisia, jotka jaksavat yrittää. Viimeisen kahden, kolmen vuoden aikana kangastarjonta on uudistunut täysin. Suomeen on ilmestynyt paljon pieniä kangaskauppoja, jotka tuottavat itse kuoseja kankaalle ja asiakkaalle saakka.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I'm extremely lucky to live in a country with amazing women dedicated to sewing. In the last two (or three) years there's been an increase in small one woman operated fabric shops. And the best thing is, they don't just sell fabric - they design them too. </div>

Tämä kyseinen kuosi on nimeltään Origami ja on kahden kauppiaan yhteistuotantoa - Majapuun ja Linnelin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Neidille ostin pastellista versiota ja itselleni harmaana, joka on vielä palana pöydällä.</div>

This cute jersey is named Origami and is a joint project of two different shops - Majapuu and Linnel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got the pastel version for The Girl and grey one for myself.</div>

Heti kun näin kuvan tästä kankaasta, tiesin mitä siitä tulisi. Helppo kesämekko, se se olisi ja helppo se oli ommellakin. Yläosa on omasta suosikiksi nousseesta t-paidasta ja alaosa vapaasti leikattu ja kapealla kuminauhalla rypytetty. Lisäsin vielä vihreää puuvillapitsiä vyötärölle ja se oli siinä.<br />
Päänteissä käytän nykyään usein kolminkertaisen resorikanttauksen sijaan kontrastinväristä resoria alavarana. Toimii hyvin ja tekee vaatteesta kevyemmän.<br />

When I saw this print, something clicked an I instantly knew what it was going to be. An easy summer dress and easy it was to sew too. The top part is from my own favourite t-shirt pattern and the bottom - no pattern for that, just scissors and fabric. Added some green cotton lace for the waist and that was it.<br />
My necklines have also changed in the last year. I no longer bind them with ribbing but instead use ribbing as a facing and thus giving the garment a slightly lighter look. <br />

Sen <a href="http://aeeno.blogspot.fi/2013/03/my-very-first.html" target="_blank">ensimmäisen</a> jälkeen suunnitteilla oli toinen. Ehtihän tuossa jo tovi vierähtää ja olin onnellisesti unohtanut sormeen ompelemisen ja kulmien tarkan kohdistamisen.</div>

After the <a href="http://aeeno.blogspot.fi/2013/03/my-very-first.html" target="_blank">first one</a> I had my mind set on the second. It took me a while though and luckily I had forgotten all about sewing my finger and making the seams match.</div>

Ja tässä se on koko komeudessaan mieheni esittelemänä. En halunnut tehdä pelkkiä neliöitä, joten seikkailin erilaisilla tilkkuiluun erikoistuneilla sivustoilla ja Pinterestissä tuntikausia, kunnes päädyin <a href="http://supposecreatedelight.com/wordpress/?page_id=995" target="_blank">tähän</a>. Tarpeeksi helppo ja tarpeeksi erilainen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tästä tuli aivan ihana, ainakin minun mielestä. Ja, tämä sai minut suunnittelemaan kolmatta täkkiä - jos vaikka tällä kertaa oman sängyn päälle.<br />Edellisen jälkeen ostin leikkurin ja alustan. Seuraavaksi haluan useamman kokoisen neliöviivaimen, koska pahvia käyttäessä palat tuppaavat pienentymään loppua kohti mikäli on yhtä hupelo leikkamaan kuin minä.</div>

And here it is in all it's glory presented to you by my husband. I spent hours upon hours browsing trough different quilting pages and Pinterest and then I stumbled on <a href="http://supposecreatedelight.com/wordpress/?page_id=995" target="_blank">this</a>. Easy enough for a beginner yet a bit different.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love it! And it made me think of a third one - this time for my own bed, so it's going to be even bigger. Now I just need to find the right fabrics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the first one I bought myself the rotary cutter and a mat, you definitely need one of those. Now I want square rulers in different sizes as my squares tended to get smaller at the end while using a cardboard shape.</div>

Lähes puolet omistamistani kankaista on raidallisia. Kangaskaupoissa suuntaan ensimmäisenä raitoja kohti, enkä pysty sitä myöskään välttämään omassa pukeutumisessanikaan. Onko tämä osaltani tietoista ostamista, vai onko minuun juurrettu äärimmäisen syvälle rakkaus raitoihin jostain lapsuuden Maripaidoista? Oli miten oli, joka toinen kangas kaapissa sopii suosikkini, musta-valkoisen raidan kaveriksi. Ja jos blogiani selaa taaksepäin, löytyy sieltäkin paljon raitaa - todella paljon raitaa.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Almost half of my fabrics are striped. When shopping I find myself drawn to the tables with stripy fabrics and I'm clearly not able to avoid them when it comes to my own clothes either. Is this something I do wittingly or does my love for stripes come from Marimekko t-shirts I used to have as a kid? Either way every other fabric in my stash could be matched to my favourite, b&w stripes. And if you find yourself browsing my older post, you're likely to find more stripes - whole lot of them actually.</div>

Joskus aikoja sitten sain loistavan ajatuksen, tai sitä se oli ainakin omasta mielestäni. Paita jättimäisellä ruusukkeella. Toteutus ei sitten toiminutkaan ja ruusuketta piti pienentään rutkasti. Kangaskin lopui kesken ja toiseen hihaan laitoin muuta raitaa - kuinkas muutenkaan.</div>

Way back in the day I had this amazing idea of shirt with this huge rosette in front. Well at least it was great in my mind. Execution was the problem and it I had to make it a lot smaller. I also ran out of fabric with the other sleeve so fixed it with another favourite of mine - red and white stripes.</div>

Kaikki mekot ja paidat tehty samalla omalla kaavalla. Tai siis mekot on muokattu paitakaavasta. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ja koska leikkasin metrin raitaa kerralla, ei kannattanut jättää sitä siihen. Kävin yhden aikaan yöllä vielä hakemassa yhden raidallisen kankaan kaapista ja leikkasin pikahameen. Kangas tässä Marimekkoa ja pallokas kuminauha <a href="http://www.nappikauppapunahilkka.fi/" target="_blank">Nappikauppa Punahilkasta</a>.</div>

Because I had just cut metre of stripes at once I just couldn't stop there, oh no. Even if it was 1am I got another striped fabric from my stash and turned it in to skirt. Fabric from Marimekko and the spotted elastic from <a href="http://www.nappikauppapunahilkka.fi/" target="_blank">Nappikauppa Punahilkka</a>.</div>

Meidän ihanassa, ihanien naisten (ja nykyisin myös yhden miehen) ompeluseurassa suoritettiin salainen kangasvaihto. Ideana siis lähettää jollekin tuntemattomalle, tai ainakin melkein tuntemattomalle, kangasta. Ja se tuntematon lähettää taas jollekin muulle ja niin edelleen.<br />
Omasta paketistani tupsahti palanen puuvillabatistia, <a href="http://paapii-blogi.blogspot.fi/2012/11/karkkikankaita.html" target="_blank">PaaPiin Raksu trikoota</a>, nappeja ja ihana pitsinen kaulus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kissa pissasi trikoon päälle, kaulus katosi mystisesti ja napit otti jompikumpi lapsista.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a secret fabric swap in my lovely sewing club full of lovely ladies (and nowdays also one man). The idea was to send fabric to someone you don't know, or you hardly know. And that person sends fabric to someone else and so on.<br />
My secret package contained some cotton batiste (or voilé if you prefer), <a href="http://paapii-blogi.blogspot.fi/2012/11/karkkikankaita.html" target="_blank">Raksu jersey from PaaPii</a>, buttons and gorgeous lace collar.<br />
My cat peed on the jersey, the collar went mysteriously missing and the buttons got snatched by one of the kids - which one, I really don't know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ensin käsittelyyn pääsi siis batisti. Lisätään yhdeksän metriä pinkkiä tylliä, pätkä raitatrikoota ja kolme nappia.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I went with the batiste. Add nine meters of pink tulle, some striped cotton jersey and three buttons.</div>

Tiedättekö, että yhdeksän metriä tylliä tekee helmasta aika muhkean? Ja kun se on rypytetty (missä muuten menee aika kauan), niin on aika paksua ommeltavaa. Jos ette tienneet, niin nyt tiedätte.</div>

Did you know that nine meters of tulle makes one very poofy skirt? And when you've done with the ruching (which seems to take forever) it's quite thick to sew through. Well, you know now.</div>

Neiti on tyytyväinen. En ollut yhtään varma millaisen vastaanoton tämä saisi. Tuollaisen kahdeksan vuotiaan mieli kun on yllättävän ailahtelevainen. Tykkäsi napeista, tykkäsi tyllistä, tykkäsi mustan, valkoisen ja pinkin yhdistelmästä. Nappiosuma siis.<br />
Itse huomasin vasta kuvia selaillessa, että tuli sitten ommeltua helma väärin päin. Perhoset lentävät joukolla kohti maata. No, aina ei voi voittaa.</div>

Daughter's happy. I wasn't sure how this was going to go as a mind of an eight year old can take a turn quite quickly. She liked the buttons, liked tulle, liked the combination of black, white and pink. Perfect she said.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I didn't notice until scanning through the pictures was the fact that I had stitched the skirt upside down. Now the butterflies are flying straight to the ground. You just can't win every time, right?</div>

Hattarakekkerit on kuosin nimi. Ihanan elävää jälkeä ja ihanilla väreillä. Meillä tässä pinkki, mutta tätä saa myös minttuna (josta tulevaisuudessa lisää).</div>

The print is named Hattarakekkerit which translates to Cotton Candy Party. Love the vividness of the lines and the colours. This dress is made of pink colour way, but it also can be found in mint (which you'll be seeing in the near future).</div>

Tälläkin kertaa käytin sitä ihanaa vintage-kaavaa, jolla on tullut tehtyä lähes kaikki juhlamekot. Tällä kertaa helmaa ei ole vuoritettu muulla kuin tyllillä ja lisäsin sivustalle rypytyskujan. Tässäkin kiinnitys takaa napeilla - ja tulipa myös ommeltua elämäni rumimmat napinlävet. Sen siitä saa, kun pitää liian pitkään taukoa ja onnistuu unohtamaan ompelukoneensa toiminnot.</div>

I yet again used the same vintage pattern that I've used in almost all of the party dresses I've made. This time I didn't line the skirt with anything else besides tulle and ruched it on the side with ribbon. Once again it closes from the back with buttons - which are the the worst buttonholes I've ever made. That's what you get for not sewing enough and you forget how your machine works.</div>

Ompelurintamalla on ollut t-o-d-e-l-l-a hiljaista lähiaikoina. No joo, on tullut ommeltua ihan peruskauraa, joten ehkä hiljaista on ollut vain blogirintamalla.</div>

Ei, kyllä se on ollut myös ompelupuolella. Koneiden hajoamisen, trikooähkyn ja töiden ristitulessa en ole saanut oikein mitään järkevää aikaiseksi.</div>

Kuten sanoin - onneksi on kaksi lasta. Olkoonkin vähän apinoita välillä, mutta helpottaa jos ompelussa menee jokin vikaan. Aina on joku joka voi jossain vaiheessa sitä vaatetta käyttää. No, ehkä ei mekkoja - tai no, luultavasti poika käyttäisi niitäkin jos saisi...</div>

Mutta päätin nyt kuitenkin kokeilla. Kankaat hankin jo kauan sitten ihan tätä varten, mutta se uskallus tuli vasta muutama kuukausi sitten, jolloin ompelin päällisen.</div>

Saman kokoiset neliöiden leikkaus ei ollut kovin helppoa ilman leikkuria ja alustaa, joten niihin kannattaa kyllä ehdottomasti sijoittaa, jos näitä haluaisi useamman tehdä. Itse en vielä tiedä jatkanko tällä tiellä, vai jääkö tämä yhden kerran kokeiluksi.</div>
<div align="center">
Fleece ei kyllä ole paras mahdollinen takapuoli, koska se venyy ja vanuu. Olisi ehkä toiminut alkuperäisessä suuunnitelmassa, jossa läpitikkaus olisi tehty ennen reunojen kanttausta. Mutta koska en onnistunut mistään Helsingistä löytämään oikean sävyistä harmaata (tai keltaista), jouduin tekemään peiton kääntämällä ja laitoin reunaan keltaisen terenauhan. Näin ollen tätä ei siis ole tikattu ollenkaan - onko se silti tilkkupeitto?</div>

Cutting even squares was a challenge without a rotary cutter. I haven't decided if I'm going to make any more of these, but if I am - I definitely need to buy me one of those.</div>
<div align="center">
And let me tell you - fleece isn't the best possible backing as it tends to stretch. It might have worked if I had been able to do my first choise which was stitching it together and binding it with gray or yellow. Wasn't able to find either one in the right shade from Helsinki, so I had to do this with stitch & turn. Luckily I had yellow piping in my stash (still not the right shade) that worked out great.</div>

Tästä näkee kuinka fleece tarttuu puuvillaan ja peitto rypistyy. Tällä hetkellä en välitä, koska minulla on voittajaolo tämän valmistumisen ja itseni voittamisen johdosta. Edes se, että onnistuin ompelemaan koneella sormeeni (ensimmäinen kerta muuten) ei haittaa kun tätä katselee.</div>

See, it's a bit wobbly as the fleece is sticking to the cotton. Right now I don't care as I feel like a winner after finishing this. Even the fact that I stitched my finger with a sewing machine (the first time ever for me) can't get me down. </div>

Armeijan vihreä (eli khakin vihreä) on aina ollut yksi suosikkiväreistäni. Vaikka sitä on juuri nyt vaatekaupoissa joka puolella, ei sitä meinaa kankaana löytyä kotimaisista kaupoista. Väri on myös erittäin käytännöllinen - ei pienet likatahrat haittaa.</div>
<div align="center">
Viime syksynä halusin tehdä Juniorille parkan, koska mieleistä ei löytynyt kaupoista, ja koska kangasta ei myöskään löytynyt, päätin purkaa miehen vanhan Viron armeijan parkan osiin ja ommella siitä pienemmän version.</div>

Army green has allways been one of my favourite colours. Even though you can find it in allmost every single clothes store you go to, it wasn't visible in any fabric stores. At least not in Finland.</div>

Last fall I wanted a parka for The Boy. I searched shops but wasn't able to find one I liked. Then I make it myself, I thought, but couldn't find the fabric. My last chance was hubby's old army surplus coat which I ended up tearing apart and downsizing it to fit my son.</div>

The coat has a detatchable lining made from super soft teddy that will be used in the colder days (and they're still pretty cold here). The inner lining I made from this funny kawaii cotton.</div>

Lämmin vuori tulee todellakin tarpeeseen. Tänäänkin, vaikka aurinko paistoi, kylmä meni luihin ja ytimiin kovan tuulen vuoksi. Silti, ihanasti on jo osa lumista sulanut ja lumiukostakaan ei paljoa ole enää jäljellä.</div>

The teddy lining sure is good. Today, although it was sunny we would have frozen because of the wind was blowing so hard. But still, the spring will come. There's quite a bit of snow left but it's melting away as you can see from the pile of snow that once used to be a fine snowman.</div>

Töihin palaaminen on ollut rankempaa kuin luulin. Päivän loputtua, ompeleminen ei ole ensimmäinen asia joka mieleen tulee ja tästä johtuen blogissakin on ollut hiljaista. Mutta sitten aina välillä on koko viikonloppu vapaata. Silloin pitää ottaa ilo irti ja ommella jotain.</div>

Getting back to work has been harder than I expected. At the end of the day sewing is not the first thing that comes to mind, and for that reason it's been bit more quiet here too. But every now and then I get the whole weekend off and that's when I know I need to sew.</div>

<div align="center">
Tällä kertaa vuorossa oli mekko Esikoiselle. Mekko oli ollut valmiina suunnitelmana päässäni jo vuoden, yläosan brodyyrin hintalappu sen minulle kertoi. Alaosan kangas kylläkin vaihtui matkalla leveämpään puna-valkoiseen raitaan.</div>

This weekend it was time to make a dress for the Girl. The idea for it had been in my mind for a year or so. I know it for a fact as there was still price tag attatched to the white cotton lace fabric that I used on the top part. </div>

Lintu on uusi lisäys. Alkuperäisessä suunnitelmassa ei sitä ollut, mutta nyt se tuo hiukan särmää muuten niin pelkistettyyn mekkoon. Lintu on valmis sabluuna, jonka ostin Sinellistä. Ihana kuva jolle varmasti on käyttöä myöhemminkin. Silloin pitää muistaa laittaa vähemmän kagasväriä, jolloin pienimmätkin yksityiskohdat pääsevät esiin.</div>

Silloin vuosi sitten, kun tätä mekkoa aloin suunnittelemaan, näin Fabriinassa näitä ihania pitsivetoketjuja. Itse asiassa, tästä vetoketjusta lähti koko ajatus mekkoon. Nythän näitä saa muualtakin ja yllättävän pirteissäkin väreissä.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Vetoketju on ommeltu päälle ja aukeaa vain pitsiosion verran. Eipä sen enempää tarvitsekkaan aueta.</div>

About a year ago, when I first started imagine what this dress could be I found these gorgeous lace zippers in Fabriina (finnish online fabric shop). Actually the whole idea came from these zippers.

Sain joskus viime kesänä kaveriltani ilmaiseksi, hänen sanojensa mukaan "kissan raiskaaman ja koiran imemän" tuolin. Tuoli oli kyllä kärsinyt kynsistä ja istuin oli tummunut, mutta muuten se oli ihana - paitsi se ei pysy pystyssä ilman seinää muotonsa vuoksi.<br />
Päällensä se oli joskus saanut isokuosisen retro kankaan, jonka alta löytyi myrkynvihreä ja kulunut alkuperäinen verhoilu. Valitettavasti alkuperäisestä tuolista ei ole kuvaa, koska se jäi vanhalle koneelle.</div>

It was last summer when I got this 50's chair from my friend which in her words was "cat raped and dog sucked". It clearly had been loved by cats as it was full of scratches and the fabric was darker than it was suposed to be, so maybe the dog really did suck it. All I know is that it's not stable without a wall behind it and it's beautiful.<br />
It had been re-upholstered at one point with vintage fabric dating from the 70's and underneath was the original, bottle green fabric. Unfortunately I don't have the before picture as it was on our old computer when it crashed.<br />

Etsin sopivaa kangasta todella kauan. Mikään kuosi ei tuntunut sopivalta tai olisivat olleet liian ohuita tälläiseen työhön. Törmäsin sitten etsyssä seikkaillessani tähän Premier Printsin kuosiin ja ajattelin sen olevan melkein täydellinen, sekä suhteellisen helppo kohdistaa.<br />
_______________________________________________<br />
<br />
I spent hours (days and months) in search of the perfect fabric for it. The patterns I liked were either wrong material or nerve recking to get the seams right. Then I ran into this b&w print from Premier Prints - It was perfect.<br />

Tämän eteen tuoli vuodettua verta - kirjaimellisesti. En löytänyt verhoiluneulaa, joten jouduin ompelemaan takaosan kiinni tavallisella suoralla neulalla. Sormenpäät ovat kovettumilla ja vasemmassa kädessä useampi kuin yksi neulanpisto, mutta en pystynyt lopettamaan kesken kaiken.<br />
En ole koskaan aikaisemmin tehnyt tälläistä verhoilutyötä ja opettelin samalla kun ompelin. Jos ja kun tuoli vaatii uuden kankaan, tiedän paremmin mitä kannattaa ja ei kannata tehdä.<br />

I shed blood for this chair - literally. I couldn't find my upholstery needle, so I had to do the back (handstistched) with a regular straight one. My fingretips are bruised and hard but I just couldn't stop sewing.<br />
This was my first time doing this kind of upholstery project so I was learning while doing it. And now when it comes to re-upholstering the chair I know what to do do and more importantly - what not to do.<br />

Pitkään aikaan ei ole tullut sellaista "pakko saada"-fiilistä mistään kuosista. Mutta tämä Ulla-Maj Saarisen Viljamin Puodille suunnittelema kuosi räjäytti padon.</div>
<div align="center">
Ihania pandoja kävelyllä ilmapalloineen. Tässä kuosissa ja kankaassa on kaikkea mistä tykkään. Siinä näkyy herkät kynän viivat, siinä on pandoja, sen pohja on kauniin luonnonvalkoinen, se on luomua ja ihanan pehmeää.</div>

It's been a while since I've had that "Got to have it"-feeling about any print. But this print from finnish designer living in Stockholm, produced by Viljamin Puoti did it for me.</div>

It has all of the things I like. You can clearly see the hand drawn lines, it has pandas, it's organic and there for it's off white and it's super soft, making it perfect for kid's clothes.</div>

Juniori tykkää ja ei tykkää. Kuten tuntuu olevan kaikkien vaatteiden kohdalla. Paitsi Polarn O. Pyretin legginsien, joita meillä kutsutaan värihousuiksi. Ne jalassa voisi olla vaikka joka päivä ja ne kaivetaan vaikka pyykkikorista päälle. Nytkin jouduin lahjomaan kuvaan suklaalla. Onneksi on joulu tulossa ja namuja kaapissa... Housuja se ei kyllä suostunut vaihtamaan - olkoon sitten yöpuvun housuissa.</div>

The Boy likes it and at the same time doesn't want to wear it. But that's just how it goes nowdays. The only exception to this is his Polarn O. Pyret leggings that he calls 'colourpants'. Those he could wear every single day and even finds them from the laundry basket.</div>

Meidän ihana Juniori rakastaa kirjaimia ja numeroita. Tämä kaikkihan taas johtuu siitä, että Esikoinen aloitti koulun ja on opetellut/oppinut lukemaan. Juniori on sitten siskonsa siivellä oppinut niin kirjaimet, kuin numerotkin. Hän tunnistaa ison osan aakkosista ja osaa luetella numerot 20 saakka. Aika hyvin 2,5-vuotiaalta.</div>

The Boy loves the alphabet and numbers - all because The Girl started school and learned to read and write. He can name most of them and is able to recite numbers from 1 to 20. Not too bad for a guy that's 2,5 years old.</div>

As he now knows his A-B-C's, I made him a shirt. A shirt in which I printed the alphabet using a ready-made stencil.</div>

<div align="center">
Painoin muutaman kirjaimen punaisella, jotta paidassa olisi sitä jotakin. Niistä myös muodostuu Juniorin nimi.</div>
<div align="center">
Muuten, koko paita on tehty saumurilla. Minua laiskotti ja jostain syystä olen lähiaikoina ollut ihastunut raakareunoihin. Tässä on siis kaikki reunat "raakoja", mutta liiallinen rullaantuminen on estetty saumalla. Voi olla, että joudun kuitenkin tikkaamaan saumat litteäksi ompelukoneella, mutta katsotaan nyt toimiiko käytössä näin.</div>

I printed some of the letters in red just to make it more interesting and you can also find his name in them.</div>

The whole shirt was made using only my serger. I was feeling a bit lazy and for some reason I've been lately into raw edges on shirts (and dresses and skirts for that matter). So all of the edges are "raw" but all of them have a seam so that they don't roll too much.</div>

Ja toinen erittäin tarpeellinen kapistus on hylly johon saa kaikki tarvikkeet käden ulottuville.</div>

And another must have is a bookshelf close to the table. This one holds all of my sewing stuff I use all the time. On the upper shelf you can find ribbings. Then theres pattern magazines and books. And last but definitely least - all of the important little things in their own little boxes.</div>

On se kumma, mitä ihmiset heittävät menemään. Meillä oli muutama viikko takaperin pihalla kierrätyskontti, johon asukkaat saivat viedä heille tarpeettomia tavaroita. Meiltäkin sinne pari juttua lähti, mutta usein käy, sieltä tuli enemmän tavaraa takaisin.</div>

Joku oli vienyt konttiin hyvässä kunnossa olevat avorattaat, jostain vuosien takaa. Enkä minä tietenkään voinut niitä sinne jättää.</div>

Rattaat olivat siis oivassa kunnossa, jos likaisia kankaita ja paria pientä mutteria ei otettu huomioon. Rullaavat hienosti ja jarrukin toimii, joten ainoa mitä ne tarvitsivat, oli uudet kankaat.</div>

Vanhoja kankaita ei pystynyt pesemään, koska missään ei ollut aukko josta olisin saanut vanerit ja pehmusteet ulos. Eipä sillä, että olisin niitä edes pessyt. Halusin uudet ja kirkkaat kankaat, joten keltaista kehiin.</div>

Pelkäsin jostan syystä rattaiden kankaan ompelua, koska luulin sen olevan vaikeaa. Mutta ei, muutamaa ongelmaa lukuun ottamatta kaikki sujui kuin tanssi. Eikä vähiten samaisesta kontista löytyneen ompelukoneen takia.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Singer 341G, valmistettu Saksassa joskus vuoden 1964 ja 1970 välissä, jonka jälkeen valmistus on lopetettu. Ompeli kuusi kerrosta paksua kanvaasia nikottelematta. On hiljaisempi kuin kumpikaan muista koneistani. Tuli alkuperäisten erikoisommelkiekkojen ja useiden paininjalkojen kera.</div>

Yes, I've been sewing the most basic things like shirts and pants for The Boy, as he just started his years in kindergarten. The Girl started her first grade and I've been going to work (Yes! I'm working full time now) for a couple of days.</div>
<div align="center">
It'll get better. There's a second wind coming soon and picking me up from this.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Itse asiassa tein kaksi takkia. Tai siis yhden, mutta siinä samassa on kaksi - onhan se käännettävissä.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ensin ostin Riley Blaken siksakin, jonka jälkeen jouduin kuukausien etsintään toisen kankaan kanssa. Oikeanlaisen löytäminen oli todella hankalaa. Juu, kyllä niitä puna-valkoisia tuli useampikin vastaan, mutta mikään ei miellyttänyt omaa tarkkaa silmääni. Viimein, vietettyäni tunteja etsyssä, löytyi tämä Aneela Hoeyn Modalle suunnittelema kangas, joka jollain ihanalla tavalla muistuttaa minua omasta lapsuudestani.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Siksakin piti alunperin olla se 'oikea' puoli, mutta nyt punainen näyttää paremmalle. Mietin pitkään mistä se johtuu, ja tulin siihen tulokseen, että jostain kumman syystä, minusta nappien kuuluu olla juuri näin päin ja sinisellä puolella ne ovat 'väärin'. Hullua, mutta noinkin pieni asia voi olla tärkeää. Voi myös olla, että minun täytyy vaihtaa ne napit toisin päin ja tehdä kaksi uutta napinläpeä.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
___________________________________________________________</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Actually I made two. Or one, but it's reversible, so it's as good as two jackets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I bought the chevron (Riley Blake from etsy) and though I had a clear vision what I wanted from the second fabric, I wasn't able to find it. Yes, there's a lot of red and white fabrics out there, but none of them were speaking to me. Then after hours browsing through etsy I stumbled in to this print by Aneela Hoey for Moda. It reminds me of my childhood for some reason, so I had to get it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The chevron side was originally planned as the 'right' side, but now I like the red one more - just because it has the buttons on the right side. Grazy as it is, in my opinion they're totally 'wrong' on the other side. And I just might have to change them and do two new button holes in to it.</div>

Huomenna suuntaan kurssini kohti Tallinnaa, kera virtuaalisen ompeluseuran. Ja koska menemme laivalla ja koska tarkoitus on ehkä myös vähän juhlia, päätin tehdä teemaan sopivan version <a href="http://aeeno.blogspot.fi/2012/06/jackie-oh-so-fine.html">edellisen postauksen kaavasta.</a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Tällä kertaa käytin kankaana ohutta puuvillaa ja vuoritin mekon kokonaisuudessaan, etten tule vahingossa vilautelleeksi alusvaatteitani merimiehille.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Laitoin myös vetoketjun sivusaumaan helpottamaan pukemista, ja hyvä
niin, tämä ei jousta lähellekään yhtä paljon kuin edellinen Jackie. Tein
myös irrallisen vyön (oikeastaan se on kuminauha putkessa), joten
mekkoon saa hiukan vaihtelua käyttämällä sitä. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This time I used thin cotton, so I had to line the dress trouhgout as I'm not so keen on people seeing my underwear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also put a zipper on the side seam as the fabric is nowhere near as stretchy as <a href="http://aeeno.blogspot.fi/2012/06/jackie-oh-so-fine.html">the first Jackie</a> had. And I made a belt (actually is just elastic on a tube) to make the dress a bit more interesting. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Viimeisimmällä kirjastokäynnillä löysin hyllystä mahtavan kirjan - Kuuluisat vintagemekot. Pakkohan se oli heti lainata. Kotona pikaisella selauksella tulin siihen tulokseen, että minun mekkoni on joko Jackie, Audrey tai Twiggy. Muutenkin tyylillisesti taidan olla jämähtänyt tuohon 60-lukuun, ainakin mitä mekkoihin ja takkeihin tulee. Päädyin lopulta Jackieen, koska ostin torstaina siihen sopivan kankaankin. </div>

Last visit to the library was a good one. I found a nice book full of nice dresses - Famous Frocks. I just had to have it. Back home a quick browse made it pretty clear that I'm stuck in the 60's. It was either Jackie, Audrey or Twiggy for me and as I found the perfect fabric on thursday, I ended up with Jackie.<br />

Tällä kertaa tein jopa kokeiluversion, mitä en yleensä koskaan tee. Pitäisi kai, kun oma vartalo ei ole millään tavalla yhtä kokoa </div>

This time I even made a trial version from an old sheet and that is something I usually don't do. Maybe I should, as my body is clearly not just one size.<br />

Kokeiluversio on hyvä. Joskin laatikoista ei sattunut löytymään 60cm piilovetoketjua, itse asiassa, ei löytynyt minkään mittaista piiloketjua. Joten tein kokeiluversion metriketjulla. No sehän tökötti selässä todella selvästi, joten jäin miettimään lopulliseen versioon toista ratkaisua.<br />
Kun ketjun ompelun aika tuli, tajusin ettei mekko tulisi menemään kiinni, jos laitan takasaumaan ketjun vaatimat saumavarat. No, kokeillaan pienemmillä varoilla, totesin. Ompelin koko sauman kiinni ja päätin testata josko se menisi päälle niinkin. Ja sehän meni! En siis tarvinnut ketjua ollenkaan ja mikä parasta, ei tarvinnut odottaa maanantaihin asti, että olisin kunnon ketjun siihen saanut.<br />
_______________________________________________________________<br />
<br />
The trial version was just fine. Only problem was that I didn't have 60cm invisible zipper in hand. Actually I had no invisible zippers at all. So I made it with basic zip instead.<br />
Well, that was a mistake - It sure looked like I was about to burst out of the dress, so I had to think of other options for the final cut.<br />
When the time came to sew the zipper in place, I realised I didn't enough seam allowence in the back. Let's try with smaller ones, I thought. I stiched the whole seam and decided to try if it would fit that way. And it did! Thankfully, because I hate sewing those invisble zippers and I didn't want to wait 'till monday to finish it.<br />

Aiemmin keväällä ostin impulssiostoksena kirkkaanpunaiset housut. Mielessäni kyti silloin suuri visio housuista yhdistettynä kaapista löytyvään kankaaseen. Kului kuukausi jos toinenkin ja nyt sain sen vihdoin aikaiseksi.</div>

I went a little bit crazy in the spring an bought myself a pair of bright red trousers. I bought them with a great vision in my mind. I knew I had to have them to match one fabric from my stash. It took a month and a few more, but now I've done it.</div>

Se on edelleen kaikkia niitä, mutta se on myös mummomaista - sitä sen ei pitänyt olla.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hihat ovat joko liian pitkät, tai liian lyhyet ja se yhdistyy omassa päässäni mummoihin. Miehen mielestä siinä ei ole mummoa. Ehkä se johtuu siitä, ettei sillä ole ollut mummoa joka olisi pitänyt vastaavia paitoja. Minulla oli.</div>

Se on silti kiva ja pienellä kaavan muokkauksella siitä seuraavasta tulee vielä parempi. Tällä hetkellä ylin nappi ei mene kunnolla kiinni pienestä mittavirheestä johtuen. Ja lisää väljyyttää voisi tehdä takakappaleeseen laskostamalla.</div>

It's still all of those, but there's also some grandma in it - that's something I didn't have in my vision.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sleeves are either too long or too short and that's what makes it "grandma" in my mind. Hubby said that he can't find the granny in it. Maybe it's because he hasn't had a grandma who wore these kind of shirts. I had.</div>

It's still fun and with little modification the next one will be even more fun. Right now the top button doesn't close due to a measuring error I made. And I think there could more ease in the back too.</div>

Kun esikoinen oli kaksi, näin ensimmäisen kerran tämän Amy Butlerin kuosin. Ajattelin silloin, että siitä tulisi ihana takki. Onneksi en sitä silloin takkiin ostanut, koska nyt kuosi yllätti minut koollaan. 86cm takissa se olisi mennyt täysin hukkaan.</div>

Nyt se päätyi syntymäpäivämekoksi. Jälleen kerran sillä samalla vintage kaavalla. Tämä taitaa olla myös viimeinen mekko jonka tällä kaavalla teen. Koko alkaa jäädä pieneksi ja voi olla, että neiti ei halua kohta tälläisiä mekkoja edes käyttää.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tällä kertaa laitoin saman sarja pallokankaasta vuorin yläosaan ja tein myös kiinteän vyön, jonka voi solmia joko taakse tai eteen.</div>

Now it's the perfect size to be made in to a party dress. Once again I used my favourite vintage pattern for girls. This might just be the last dress I'll make with it. It's starting to get small and I'm guessing that soon she doesn't want to wear this kind of dresses anymore.</div>

Nyt Neiti on siis seitsemän. Se on iso luku. Tänään on viimeinen päiväkotipäivä, syksyllä alkaa sitten koulu. Paljon isoja muutoksia tapahtumassa. Enää ei pääse ilmaiseksi julkisissa, joten yksi syntymäpäivälahjoista oli oma matkakortti. Sen lisäksi sai oman avaimen, jotta voi olla itsekseen pihalla ja puhelimen, jotta voi soittaa jos on tarve.</div>

So now she's seven. That's a big number. Today is her last day in daycare/pre-school, starting from august she's a schoolgirl. Lots of big changes now. She no longer can ride for free in public transport, so we got her her own travel card. She also got a key so she can go out by herself and still get in. We also bought her a phone, so she can call us if anything is troubling her.</div>
