Sarvi replied to the topic Elastic length for Sleeve casing in bigger sizes in the forum oliver + s: class picnic 10 years ago

Sorry, I guess I’m not clear on the relevance of the grandmother’s size? I’ve made the size 5 and found the elastic to be fine. It is a pretty gentle sort of elastic that fits in there (you’re not meant to use that very stiff, heavy waistband type of elastic) and it’s really just giving a bit of gentle gather/ease for dressing to a bit of the…[Read more]
needlewoman started the topic Elastic length for Sleeve casing in bigger sizes in the forum oliver + s: class picnic 10 years ago

Currently, I’m making a number of Class Picnic tops, including a size 8 that will be sent interstate. I’m concerned that the length of the elastic suggested for the sleeve casings in the larger sizes is the same as the smaller pattern range; ie. 5″. Can someone who has made the CP blouse in size 6, and up let me know if the length of elastic…[Read more]
needlewoman replied to the topic Bias casing, Pattern piece 5 missing in the forum oliver + s: class picnic 10 years ago

Hi Charlene, isn’t that annoying when a pattern piece goes ‘walkabout’? The dimensions of the bias casing pattern piece are 8.5″x 1.5″ for all sizes in your pattern’s range. You’ll find this cut piece is very generous for the smaller sleeve sizes; obviously you cut two, on the bias. Hope you will post a picture of your finished garment.

Thank you so much, Liesl. This is fantastic. I originally got the pattern for the dress but I happened to have one of the amazing wools you suggested (the Carolina Herrera salmon-beige-orangeish color – it is very unusual color). So I really want to try the coat (it is cold in NYC!) and am happy you are doing a sew-along. But I am a few steps…[Read more]

@nzsewist Thanks for the heads up re- Todd’s comments. I was sorely disappointed to see the larger Music Class gone so quickly. I’ve just made the size 2 for my girl & can’t stop admiring it. It’s SUCH a classic beauty. Somehow I think I may end up with the PDF afterall though…. 🙁

Oh yes it does😀 And it would be nursing friendly (not like a rtw cross over top I tried nursing in and the tiny press stud popped off first go😱. Thank goodness for Aunties with safety pins😜). I think I need it😉.

I think I also need to (seriously) trace the 12-18 month size of the puppet show shorts as (sigh!) I finally finished the (very cute if…[Read more]

Tamara replied to the topic Monochrome Project- B&W in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Well that could be a real “out of the box” type thing. It could be colours, the kind of fabric and print of fabric and also the pairing of fabric and sewing pattern. It could be a really surprising project to undertake (and take a look at). I guess it could have the potential of what it would be like to make something in the kitchen without so…[Read more]

Oh yes I think we should definitely brainstorm lots of ideas @justsewit.

I love it when geometric (especially stripes) and floral prints are paired together. Maybe an unexpected pairs challenge? Kind of tricky to define ‘unexpected’ though.

I think the wool melton I used is a TINY bit too stiff but I am still happy with it.
