Liesl, I am making a size 12.

Hmmm. What size are you making, @cat75? I’ll take a look at the pattern and see if I can figure out what’s going wrong.

KellyB started the topic Bucket hat fabric in the forum oliver + s: little things to sew 8 years ago
Hi, I’d like to make the bucket hat for my baby nephew, this will be the first hat I’ve made! I have some lovely ‘queue for the zoo’ Liberty fabric to use for it but it’s very light weight. Will this be ok to use or should I use fusible interlining on all of the pattern pieces?? I’d be grateful for any advice!

Cat75 started the topic soho shorts construction in the forum liesl + co: soho shorts + skirt 8 years ago
I am working on a pair of Soho shorts. It has gone together really well until now. I am trying to sew the waistband to the shorts but the front waistband is about 2 inches longer than the shorts. The back is perfectly fine. Now since there are pleats my first course of action was to look back at the pattern pieces to see if I did something…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic lined full skirt in the forum oliver + s: building block dress 8 years ago
Can you explain where you’re not clear so I can help? The skirt gets attached at step 4 on page 144, and then the side seams are sewn up after. But I’m actually wondering if you’d benefit from the Fairy Tale Dress pattern, since it includes a tulle layer as well. It might have everything you’re looking for, and in great detail?

I’m hoping to do a dress similar to the one on page 142 (want to get a ballgown feel and put lining and tulle inside) but I’m not clear where it tells you how to attache the skirt lining? Its clear for the bodice but hard to understand about the skirt?
Are there any additional tutorial about this? Want to do the zipper and all.

Thanks for the feedback, Pamela! We’ve been changing the format of our PDFs a bit, and it’s nice to know you like it this way.

Pamela replied to the topic PDF missing part ? in the forum liesl + co: classic shirt 8 years ago
Thanks! I’ll download the updated version.
The briefly missed part aside, I’ve really enjoyed this pdf. Love the ability to print out just the desired size, the well-defined cutting lines with scissor icon and background grid for lining everything up. It’s been a breeze compared to the other pdfs. This was my first Liesl + Co pdf purchase and it…[Read more]

Todd Gibson replied to the topic PDF missing part ? in the forum liesl + co: classic shirt 8 years ago
So sorry about that! Someone else pointed out that error to us yesterday. We’ve updated the printing guide page for the pattern to include page 37 for all views and cup sizes.
If you would like an updated version of the PDF with this change in place, you can use your original download link to download a new copy now.

Pamela replied to the topic PDF missing part ? in the forum liesl + co: classic shirt 8 years ago
Found it! It’s on page 37. The pattern printing index on page 3 only lists printing page 37 for a C cup. Which is odd as it contains the end of the shoulder and most of the armscye of the back piece (5A symbol) as well as the shoulder end for the C cup front piece #2. So maybe a typo on the printing index? Whew! So glad to find it! Now to finish taping. 🙂

I’m in the process of putting together the pdf of the classic shirt and can’t find the upper right part of pattern piece #5/ the shirt back. ?? I’ve printed out a size 2 and gone back and searched page files but just don’t see it. I feel so silly asking but could anyone else with this pattern please tell me where this part is? It should say 5A on it. TIA.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic FBA instructions: what am I missing? in the forum liesl + co: cappuccino dress + tunic 8 years ago
Thanks for your patience, Peggy. I finally had a couple of minutes to go back and review the FBA instructions for this one (it’s been a long time since I wrote them), and I think it’s quite straightforward. The technique is similar to the Cinema Dress but maybe a little easier? Also, if you’re struggling with fit, I highly recommend the Fit for…[Read more]
