That’s a good idea — I read much more than I comment, or I get busy but bookmark things for future use — but it must seem like radio silence from the other end!
Jen replied to the topic Lengthen culottes in the forum oliver + s: lunch box tee + culottes 9 years ago

Thanks @lightningmcstitch 🙂

I ended up making the 3T with a much smaller elastic (fitted to her). The back turned into a gathered back rather than the single pleat. According to the 4yr old, it’s “fine”.

I’m interested to remake it though, because my waistband was an inch too small. I cut a larger one to fit the culottes.

Saved the day thanks @todd

Interesting, Sarvi! Thanks for the explanation.

Hey, will everyone who followed/follows the sew-along do me a favor and leave a quick note here telling us you made use of it? It will help a lot with deciding whether to do more sew-alongs in the future if we can gauge the level of interest and participation.

Cheers!

I was able to change the title of the post.

Not to worry! it’s all good.@sarvi.
Sarvi replied to the topic Question about sending private messages in the forum about the forums 9 years ago

Hm, good question! I assumed as the thread starter you’d have an edit button somewhere, but perhaps I have made an ASS of U and ME as the old saying goes.

May Grey (and its buddy, June Gloom) are weird patches of overcast skies that come along between Spring and Summer here in Los Angeles. You’ve been having a nice time hiking in April, then you lose the blue skies (but oddly enough, not the penetrating heat of the sun — so if you look outside you’ll want to grab a sweater, but then you open your…[Read more]

  Thank you for this sew along! I made the 2 piece for my 18 year old. She said it’s the first swimsuit that she feels good In! She usually cries every year when we have to find a swimsuit. Without the sew along I would never had the courage to make this. You provided so many details that I didn’t even have any questions. I just can’t thank you…[Read more]

Yay! The suits look great. I love the boning and all the “grown up” lady aspects of this pattern. I’ll miss the sewalong deadline but I’m right behind you, just six months behind… 🙂
Tamara replied to the topic Question about sending private messages in the forum about the forums 9 years ago

@sarvi am I able to do that?

Thankyou🙂

What’s May Grey, Sarvi?
Sarvi replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

Those are really nice, I like the cut a lot particularly on the bottoms. That’s something I can wear. I am still looking for the right fabric — and sewing time — but would love to get a pair done by the time May Grey is over in Los Angeles.
Sarvi replied to the topic Question about sending private messages in the forum about the forums 9 years ago

Tamara, could I suggest editing the title of this thread to read “question about sending private messages” or similar as it appears Leslie might have mistaken this for a private conversation between the two of you.
Sarvi replied to the topic Sizing question in the forum oliver + s: popover 9 years ago

Looks like the Popover Dress size chart lists garment measurements rather than body measurements. Looking at the body measurement chart for another pattern, 22.5″ puts you in a size 4 — so it sounds like your cute dress with the size 6 chest can accommodate any surprise growth spurts this summer and perhaps take you through winter as well, with a…[Read more]
Sarvi replied to the topic Merino source in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I have bought from the Fabric Store and the quality is fabulous. I wonder whether Rockywoods would have anything suitable?
mcholley1 replied to the topic Merino source in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Thanks for all the great sources! It looks like the fabric store is the best price even with international shipping. Now to decide on weight…
needlewoman replied to the topic Sizing question in the forum oliver + s: popover 9 years ago

Well done, mum!! Will look out for the pic. Yes, the popover does run rather big but the lovely A line shape means that it doesn’t ‘show’ really.
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

And that’s a wrap! You’re going to show me your suits, too, right?
