Hi Pam, sorry to hear you’re feeling confused. Can you be more specific with your question? At what part are you unsure?

Also, thank for calling my attention to the missing snap tape on the envelope. In the 18-ish years that the pattern has been out no one has mentioned it. I’ll make sure we fix that.
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Tea Party Dress and Play Suit in the forum oliver + s: tea party 6 days ago

Hello, and I’m glad you’re enjoying the pattern! Honestly, I didn’t know that snap tape came with the snaps different widths apart! I’ve only seen and used one type. Another option would be to use individual snaps. Maybe that would work better in this instance?

Hi!

I have made the Tea Party Dress twice– each time it came out great. Attaching photos below. I really appreciate your notes in the pattern and the amount of detail you provide.

I am now making Option D, the Tea Party Play Suit. The pattern doesn’t list snap tape in the list of notions needed, so I wasn’t sure what kind to get. I purchased…[Read more]

Oh, that turned out so cute! Well done! Thank you for posting.

This is 21 wale corduroy, so not an exact match to what you’re proposing. I interlined with flannel and lined with quilting cotton, and the coat as a whole definitely does have more drape than the version I made out of wool coating, but it’s held up well (the photo is from ODS, and YDS probably wore it for the last time this winter, 10 years…[Read more]

Will 6-8 wale corduroy work for this pattern? I don’t want it to look sloppy because the fabric has too much drape.

I know the forum doesn’t see much action anymore, but I’m no longer on Facebook or Insta, and I’m just so pleased with this make that used not only this gorgeous pattern but also two past blog posts that I wanted to say thanks here.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Kyoto in the forum liesl + co: brunswick jacket 2 months ago

I think they could work well together, yes! The Brunswick has very simple lines and could be a great layering piece, especially if you coordinate the colors or the fabric. I hope you’ll show us!

I want to make Kyoto for a casual wedding next month. Due to unsettled weather, I was considering the Brunswick jacket. Do you think they will go together?

Thank you for your help and I’ll look at the customizations. I did take out the school bus tee pattern yesterday and I placed the tracing of the hopscotch over it. I noticed that the pattern pieces are straight, rather than shaped at the waist, and the neck line is higher. Im thinking about making a neck facing like the girl on the go too.

14 things to do with our basic t-shirt patterns

This one has lots of t-shirt options and there are links to blog posts about lengthening and making A-line
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Making a size 6 in the forum oliver + s: girl on the go 2 months ago

Hi Kim,
Three granddaughters to sew for, what a treat!
I feel like using the Hopscotch pattern as a base for a dress that you want to look like the Girl on the Go is over complicating things a bit. Not that that’s not what I normally do!
Here’s a few other options to think of:
1: just make the size 8 for the size 6 kid anyway. It’s a t-shirt dress…[Read more]
