As I look at the most viewed tutorials posted I realize that I didn’t create as many tutorials as I would have liked for the year and some of the tutorials continue to make the top viewed list every year.

Where did the time go?

I challenged myself to learn Adobe illustrator and In Design to created PDF patterns and there was a huge learning curve and time spent, but I did accomplish the task.  I now have tremendous respect for those that can whip out PDF patterns often.  The process takes 40 hours to complete with the proper tutorial or instructions. Creating fabric designs, sewing, designing handbags and everyday life left me with very little time, but a little time spent on this endeavor is better than not spending any time. (New Years Resolution)!

Here’s a look at the top 13 tutorials viewed this year!
