Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Havana Bottoms – Lengthen/shorten line in the forum liesl + co: havana pajamas 2 weeks ago
Hello! To shorten the pajama bottoms, you can either fold a line perpendicular to the grain line or you can simply shorten from the bottom edge. The legs are quite straight, so shortening from the bottom won’t change the width very much. I hope that helps!

Hello! Are you referring to the bias slip skirt tutorial for the Garibaldi Skirt?
Because the fabric itself for this tutorial is cut on bias, the skirt will be stretchy. When you combine that with the elastic in the waist, the skirt adjusts to fit over the hips…[Read more]

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 1 month 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!

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.

Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Odd adjustment needed in the forum liesl + co: all day shirt 2 months ago
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!
