Amanda C started the topic Garibaldi slip skirt pattern in the forum liesl + co: havana pajamas 1 week ago

Hello all

I’m a bit confused about the garibaldi slip skirt – how does the waist stretch enough to go over the hips when putting it on? There isn’t a pattern adjustment mentioned – or did I miss it?!
I’m guessing the waist is equal to the hips, and pulled in by the elastic?
Thanks for any hints

Hi. The bottoms don’t have lengthen/shorten line, do they? How do I draw it?

Hi, yes, the X is the position of the button! It’s always a little inside the edge of the buttonhole.

Hi. According to the buttonhole template, each buttonhole is vertical and has an asterisk above its midpoint. Is it the location of the button?
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic How Do I Cut Havana Top's Placket Template? in the forum liesl + co: havana pajamas 2 weeks ago

From your second post it looks like you’ve done it correctly. You simply cut along the dotted lines on the paper template and place it over your cut paper in order to transfer the lines and trim the bottom edge, just like with a pattern piece. You’re doing great!

Hello, and yes that looks correct! Well done! I hope they’re going smoothly for you. Cute fabric!

Hi. Since it’s my first time sewing a placket, I would like to know what the wrong side of it looks like.

Are the outer edges of the plackets not stitched down?

Hello.The template for the Havana shirt placket doesn’t have a clear cut line like other pattern pieces. How should I cut it? I understand that I need to place this placket template above the placket fabric in order to mark out the stitching line and center cutting line.

Hi Amy,
It’s not so odd at all, but very common for men’s shirts to need a sloping shoulder adjustment.
It appears he could use a minor adjustment on his left shoulder and obviously a more dramatic one in his right side.
– my husband also has slightly sloping shoulders with a big drop on the right side due to a (twice) broken collar bone!

My fiancé has a dislocated collarbone which has caused a 1” displacement compared to his other shoulder. There are drag lines on that side and I’m not sure if I can fix it and what I need to do in order to fix it. Also, is there an adjustment I could make when I make other shirts for him? Thanks in advance!

Hi Leah, I’m not clear which part of the instructions or illustrations are not clear. The illustrations show each step of the jacket as it is being constructed. The illustrations were made using photos of the jacket as I sewed it. All components are included exactly as they are in the pattern. I’m more than happy to help, to add photos, to do a…[Read more]

As a new user of Liesl pattern ( although an advanced sewer) I think you should amend the directions for the Yanaka Jacket . You should picture the jacket front pieces in your drawings and tell when they should be attached. These two components were left out of the directions. Leah
