Reeni replied to the topic Husky in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
the sandbox pants only go up to a size 8, but the Parachute and Art Museum go higher, but only to size 12. You’ll want to add crotch depth as well as width so that when they are worn, the pants don’t ride up or down. Something that looks fine standing still quickly becomes a problem when boys move!
Looking at size charts, a size 14 boys is about…[Read more] -

Sew Alongs 9 years agoHi Marsha
The beauty of these sewalongs is that even when they nave finished, you can still sew along.
I’m sorry you had trouble posting a photo. Sometimes like you say the file is too big to be loaded. Do you have a flickr account? Maybe we could see your photo in the group?

Reeni started the topic just a note: it works without the back opening! in the forum oliver + s: 2 + 2 9 years ago
I made a 2+2 blouse with some vintage fabric, a pretty floral-print eyelet. There was not enough fabric width-wise to have the eyelet run in the same direction front and back; after some fiddling it occurred to me to see if I could eliminate the back opening and cut the back out as one piece, and just make the front slit/neckline a little bigger…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoPhoto 7 instructions. Let me know if these worked for you. I am making one right now in a demon linen. Seems a little tight in the bust so letting that out.

and there it is…. look at that. Whew. I saw the paragraph “finish the dress” and assumed I must have the missed the step earlier, when indeed, those instructions are in that final paragraph. Thank you 🙂

You’ll hand stitch the lining to the zipper in one of the final steps.

Hi all…. I am 3/4 of the way through my first fairy tale – and for the life of me, can’t figure out what to do with the bodice lining on either side of the zipper. It’s attached at the neckline and armholes, and I am just getting to the skirt lining, so it will be attached there – but on either side of the zipper – it is folded and meets the…[Read more]

Oh Thank You Tamara! I love your pictures of them ‘in action’. I have two big girls and one toddler to sew for between myself and my sisters so these are much appreciated to make idea boards.
