Nicole replied to the topic Herringbone question in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I made these for my baby girl https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/17417326175/in/album-72157649752898567/ ( not O+S, blush) and I pointed the Chevrons downwards even though they were across the grain on the fabric.

I made my older daughter a coat from the same cloth ( I purchased a bolt) and I did the same. Both garments are wearing well with…[Read more]

@AmyF how very kind of you.

If she is only 8 I am wondering of she is only really after width? I have sewn for a obese child and her I found that was he case for her. I think what I would do is too split the front dress panel in half and add a few inches to the that.

I would add the same to the front bands and add quite a bit to the waist one…[Read more]

I got so many compliments when I wore my coat to work – from other teachers AND from students so its appeal crosses generational lines! I just got some wool/cashmere fabric from Mood (by mail) and it is so lovely I might cry a little. I am planning to make another in the next week or two.

I hope you guys can help me!

I’ve been asked to sew a baptism dress for an 8 year old little girl, that is a size 14/16 youth. She is overweight and already developing, so the mom likes the style of the garden party dress to hide her buds.

I made this dress in a size 10 for my daughter, so we tried the dress on her and it was tight. We…[Read more]

I finally squeezed in a B&W project! Going to Flickr to upload it now. But you can also see it in my blog post here: http://skirtfixation.com/2015/10/star-wars-t-shirt-diy-kids-clothes-week-day-3/

I have a wonderful herringbone wool. I have never used herringbone and I have a question about how I should look at this pattern.

I am not sure whether I should look at this pattern as lots of “V” going across the fabric, or I should look at this pattern as lots of upside down “V”, like an arrow that is missing a straight line in the middle,…[Read more]

So, before I get cracking, is this what a flat felled seam should look like from the outside? I’ve never done one before! This is not ironed and seam allowances weren’t measured, just having a test! Thank you.

Just wondering about the definition of a mashup. Is it limited to combining 2 or more Oliver and S patterns or can it also include changing up an Oliver and S pattern and combining an Oliver and S pattern with another pattern.
I hope and suspect that all these options are fine as we are a generous and relaxed community, but I thought I’d just check 🙂

This is just a playful ( no pun intended!) question to Liesl and her team. The ‘Play’ section of your website is something I have not seen on any other sewing pattern website; do you have plans to add some of the newer styles to the dolls’ wardrobes?

Thank you so much for the suggestion, I will try binding the piping seam allowance.

😃 @jwo until you’ve tried to intubate a rabbit, you know nothing of difficult airways!
I’d find all of that fascinating!
JWo replied to the topic Tips for fabric shopping in New York in the forum off topic 10 years ago

@lightningmcstitch, I’m sure you are!!💪🏻💪🏻 I’m going for a conference but with a bit of imagination there could be something in it for you:
“The difficult airway: no larynx in view, now what do I do?”; “obstructive sleep apnea and ambulatory surgery”; “problems in geriatric anesthesia”; and “anaesthetic neurotoxicity: can we reduce the…[Read more]

Sounds good😀

I also looked at the date and thought May 🙂
Feb is great, it gives me my favourite sewing month.
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Tips for fabric shopping in New York in the forum off topic 10 years ago

@jwo I’m very strong and good at carrying bags! 💪😃
nzsewist replied to the topic Monochrome Project- B&W in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

For a second there I was thinking… “Wow! We’ve got until May!!! I can go all out with this one!”

Then I realised it was just a dating convention difference.

2/5 is 2nd of May to a New Zealander. But 5th February is fine for an end date too. 🙂
JWo replied to the topic Tips for fabric shopping in New York in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I’m going to NYC for a week in mid-December although I imagine I will have to rely on your recommendations for great shops. I love Purl Soho and the garment district and can’t wait to look for the button shop Sarvi mentioned…
