I’m really pleased your husband is making some progress, that’s great news.

8 Weeks and 4 update queries/complaints later it’s finally acknowledged that my fairly sizable Mood fabrics order is ‘lost in transit’. The previous order they sent me $90 of neoprene that was someone else’s order. Not very impressed and mostly frustrated that the boucle…[Read more]

I really like the tulle overlay skirt. Although the idea of a black and white polka dot dress sounds pretty good too 🙂

The coverstitch machine should be a lot of fun.
Tomorrow, I’m surprised there they have access to mobile phones! The last high school camp I went on in Feb all the mobile phone confiscated on the first day and only given back once a day 🙂

Oh that sounds like a wonderful toy to keep you sewing with Masha! I am so glad your hubby is home. I have been thinking of you over there and wondering how you have been coping. The doctors appointments will get fewer as improves I am sure but of course right now they are very relevant and required.

I did join now and it says something about the group being searchable but members and posts are only visible to members. Or something to that effect.

Thanks!

@justsewit yeah, Tamara, I’m more of a Facebook reader than poster – I do belong to several sewing groups…some informative, some drama (which I then leave). A good way to learn new…[Read more]

I just hit the “purchase” button on a Brother 2340cv coverstitch machine!! My siblings (I have four of them) and father were very generous for my birthday last month. I hemmed (ha ha) and hawed over buying it, but when the hem on my newly sewn Colette Mabel snapped today while I was giving the kids a bath, it was the last straw. I can’t wait…[Read more]

Sample sale is almost ready!! Starting tomorrow the sale will start in rounds. I will be posting things each day in an Etsy shop until they are sold out. I will be post up when it’s already tomorrow with a link. There is so many beautiful items I can’t wait for everyone to see!!

Well we did close it – but I don’t see why we would reject anyone at this point unless they were spam/scam accounts. I’d be interested to see if it shows up in searches for Oliver + S on Facebook, so if the link above doesn’t work anymore, that’s another way to join if it does. I’m pretty new at this so I’m open to suggestions!! 😀 we can directly…[Read more]

@juliamom2009 when the group is closed does this mean invite only? I scrapped my facebook account because I have stalkers! But, if the stalkers went away, I would happily be hoping for an invitation to this group!

I don’t believe there is any harm in asking to join. But then the fear of rejection can take its course and people may not bother…[Read more]

The Playdate dress with black on the bottom and sleeves with a white bib yoke with tucks on either side of the center. A tuxedo dress! The pattern goes up only to size 8, though.

How lovely of you to put this together! Facebook keeps making it more and more difficult for us to reach our fans, so we really appreciate all your efforts.

You may want to consider changing your group from “Public” to “Closed” – personally, I don’t need my non-sewing (like work, basketball, soccer etc.) friends seeing my posts/comments in sewing groups….not that there’s anything wrong with sewing…I’m also weirded out when my non-sewing friends follow me on Instagram as well – maybe it’s just me!…[Read more]

How fun! Black and white is so sophisticated! I like the idea of a black and white color blocked school photo dress with the scallops on the top. I believe there was a blog post about it once. It was so cute.

Music Box jumper (the full version) in black handkerchief linen. Three narrow white cotton twill tape or cotton lace bands at bodice and hem.

OK, this is perhaps a smidge (actually a lot!) inappropriate for a recital, and possibly also for a child… but the idea of a black and white dress done a bit ‘differently’ caught my imagination. I have a completely daft desire for a frothy black tulle overlaid skirt (search pintrest, drool!). How about fairytale dress with a black tulle…[Read more]
