Great clothes Fiona!

my sewing has just taken a turn I didn’t think it would for another year or so. My girls decided they wanted American Girl dolls for Christmas. This weekend I tried my hand at making some party dresses for them. I found a jumper pattern online that used to be sold by the company. It is very similar to the O+S Music Box…[Read more]

I am chiming in rather late. I eliminated the back seam by cutting on the fold and then adding a small inverted pleat at the top where the seam line would have been. It worked fine.

Or here’s a thought, since those reading here are probably interested in Oliver & S products, try one of these:

Perhaps the other companies’ sites would be good places to advertise their products and sales, as I…[Read more]

@needlewoman I made the raven hoodie for Imogen in pink faux fur. I actually sized it up and it fit her for a good two years. She had outgrown the sizing but was still in the Oliver and s ranges. I found it so easy to put together and if truth be known, I think those patterns run a big bigger than oliver and s. I made the finch shorts also but…[Read more]

Nicole has definitely made the pants! She has made a number of their patterns for her girls and loves them 🙂

You are marvellous Fiona! All these things for the children are just lovely. I had to pop onto the forum just to see thumbnails because we are currently experiencing a lag in internet speed, so the emailed pictures you sent haven’t loaded enough.

All of them are wonderful! Lucky kids and parents I say!

Nothing like a mom who likes fun, colorful clothes to inspire you, eh?

I’ve finished off the first of five bear carriers, the other still need buttons and velcro. So tempted to take a break and make a new dress, to add to the closet full of pretty dresses that are worn once a week, at most. Sensible is sensible, but it isn’t much fun.

Yes, I noticed this pattern, too! Very stylish, and looks very straightforward to sew.

In same vein, Clever Charlotte has a 20% discount on their patterns until Christmas Eve. I’m guessing the stock will go quickly so be ‘foxy’, and go to the website now.

I’m seriously considering purchasing the Raven hoodie/pants; has anyone sewn this pattern?…[Read more]
