Hi everyone! I’m out of town at a conference, so apologies for the slow replies. @dubhels2003, I think you mean easestitching? It’s a basting stitch that you can remove after you finish the seam. Easestitching allows you to shorten an edge slightly without causing puckers or gathers. How is everyone doing so far? I’m wishing I had packed my coat…[Read more]

@Tamara, That’s Ontario. The link is to retailers in Canada. It sounds like you can buy them in a lot of places, just not a lot of flavour choices. http://timtamslam.ca/where.php

Apologies if I have missed it, but what is Easestitching (step 6)? Is it sewing a loose large stitch that you can pull to then help ease in? I am probably being an idiot, I just don’t want ot get this wrong!

Cake flour can apparently be made at home – http://joythebaker.com/2009/09/how-to-make-cake-flour/ from the looks of the directions in the link it’s all-purpouse flour mixed with a bit of cornflour/cornstarch.

Thanks for posting those recipes and instructions @reeni! I’m bookmarking for reference.
Tamara replied to the topic Size 3–How much fabric for different top and bottom? in the forum oliver + s: playtime 10 years ago

Are you using fabric from your stash or shopping specifically with this dress in mind Lynda?

Generally what I do when I am figuring out how much fabric is required, is to lay some out (in alot of cases I audition fabric and check to see if I have enough that way) and place the pattern pieces on top to try and fit them.

You would need enough…[Read more]

I am making the dress out of woven fabric–top and bottom–how much fabric is needed for the top and how much for the bottom?

Hello, friends! I’m so glad you’re joining me for our Lisette coat B6244 sew-along. This is a really fast sew: with only three pattern pieces, no lining or facings, and a minimum of seams, we’ll be spending more time on flat-finishing the seams than on anything else. If you’ve never tried a flat-felled seam before, I think you’re going to like the…[Read more]
