Lara started the topic Antwerp pullover blending sizes in the forum liesl + co: antwerp pullover 1 day ago
I am struggling to figure out how to blend sizes for the Antwerp pullover when the center front and center backs are different for the different sizes.
I need to go from size 14 shoulder to size 10 waist/hip. If I blend the center lines (the fold lines), it will become a curve and I won’t be able to cut on fold anymore.
Is there another way to…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Seam allowance on Belgravia dress in the forum liesl + co: belgravia knit dress 3 days ago
Hello, and my apologies that we missed that! Seam allowances on our knit patterns are 3/8″, while patterns for woven fabrics are 1/2″. So year, the 3/8″ is correct for that pattern. We’ll be sure to correct that, and thanks for bringing it to our attention.

In the Belgravia dress instructions, the general instructions on page 5 say “seam allowances are included in the pattern and are 1/2″ unless otherwise noted.” Then on page 6, the pattern says “Note this pattern includes 3/8″ seams unless otherwise noted.” I assume the 3/8 on page 6 trumps the 1/2 on page 5?

Helen started the topic Sizing help please! in the forum liesl + co: fira dress + top 2 weeks ago
Hi,
I’ve just bought the Fira top/dress but am very confused by the sizing. I love that it comes with different cup sizes, but don’t know whether to choose my base size using my bust size or to go backwards from the D cup bust size? Does that even make sense! My upper bust is 34inches and my bust is 38inches, so I’d go for a D cup. However, the…[Read more] -

Incidentally, there is a sew-along for the Classic Shirt, which uses the same sleeve technique as the Camp Shirt, so maybe this will help? But it sounds like there must be another issue someplace.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Camp shirt short sleeves. in the forum liesl + co: camp shirt + dress 1 month ago
That sounds really frustrating! I’ve just measured the pattern, and there is less than a 1/10″ difference between the length of the armhole and the sleeve, so I’m not sure why you’re finding it too long. I imagine you’ve checked to be absolutely sure you’ve cut the right sizes for all the pieces, right? One additional thing you could try to…[Read more]

I’ve sewn this style mostly with cotton jersey, so good recovery is not strictly necessary, but obviously a fabric with more spandex will retain its shape better. I hope that helps!

Does the Tribeca Cami require fabric with good recovery? I see that it’s recommended for knits with at least 25% stretch, with no mention of recovery – not sure if that implies that good recovery is not essential?

Kj started the topic Camp shirt short sleeves. in the forum liesl + co: camp shirt + dress 1 month ago
I have checked the pattern, cut out the sleeves size 12 but they don’t match up with the arm hole. There is one side about 1 1/2 in too long on the sleeves. Any suggestions? Is there a video on attaching the sleeves?
