So if we develop and release patterns for men, who is volunteering to sew from them for me?

Hi Sarah,

I replied to your email but thought it might be helpful to post part of my reply here to help others with similar questions. I hope that’s alright!

Regarding your questions about fabric: it sort of depends on the style you’re sewing. Actually, a lot depends on the style/pattern you’ve chosen.

If you’re making the Cappuccino…[Read more]

My sewing machine’s gathering dust …

I would use them, if only…
Nah, eff it! Las Vegas, or bust!

Moving on!

Vacation is three weeks away!

I’d love to sew for my husband, as he is very hard to fit (barrel-chested), but short.

I’d make him more jeans and dress shirts, but i’m happy for any Liesl pattern!

Liesl, would it be pretty simple to change the width of the spaghetti strap? Feels like an easy modification.

Racer backs are great for working out. Easy to wear with a sports bra.

I tend to shop by feel and drape so I am not much help with names…

May I say, if anyone makes you feel bad, they are the jerks, not you!

You ask your questions, only a stupid person stops learning.

Shirts with two piece collars and cuff plackets are always on my radar.
I would love your instructions for these.

Cargo shorts, something like the Field Trip with no waist band/elastic back casing would be great as work/casual wear.

We love our food @lisamm Thank you for the suggestion. My Biggies were ‘Smash’ fans so when we saw the exhibition flyer, we booked extra days accommodation so we could see it.
Nicole replied to the topic another question! in the forum Sewing for Yourself 9 years ago

My girls and I love racer back tops. We work out and have nice shoulders and want to show them.

I don’t find visible bra straps a problem and younger women don’t mind at all.

Spaghetti straps are very pretty too. I wouldn’t wear them to sit in the sun all day but otherwise, very cool and comfortable.
Tamara replied to the topic Marilyn Monroe exhibition at Bendigo Art Gallery in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Would love to go but I’m in the west so it would be a hefty drive. Had the season been much better for us last year, we would have been able to plan a trip to Victoria to visit family and look around. I hope there will be something as equally fantastic in the future so we might be able to “take a jaunt” out there and look.

Ok, I need your input again. What are your feelings about spaghetti straps. For yourself, I mean. Will you wear them? And what about shirts with racer backs? Too hard to wear with a bra?
Susan Okurowski replied to the topic sewing for men in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

Yes please! Would love to make dress shirts & board shorts for my son and husband

I have two boys and one husband who have outgrown Oliver and S (ha!) I make mostly casual items, like sweatshirts, swim gear, and sleepwear for them. I also do dress shirts because I hate the options in stores. I’d love to see men’s pattern that start at the top of the boy sizing, as in, they have sizes like XXS and XS, because it is impossible to…[Read more]

Sorry for all the typos! I’m currently sitting outside (i’m blaming the sunlight!)and on my phone.
SarahGreen started the topic Sewing with smooth/slippery fabrics in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I am wanting to upgrade my sewing capabilities for myself, especially in my fabric choices. I’ve noticed that the fabrics I gravitate towards while shopping for blouses or dresses for myself tend to be polyester, silk, and I think rayon– al fabrics that I typically avoid sewing with. And when I see the construction I think, I could make that, if…[Read more]
