Hi Annie. I think I would probably put in the seam for the best fit, and then end up with a slit opening instead of a keyhole. . But you could try doing the adjustment without a center back seam, and then take out the excess at the neckline with darts.

I’m planning to make the breezy blouse but am cautious about how a high round back adjustment will affect the keyhole opening in the centre back. In the past I’ve made a centre back seam or a yoke to accomodate the adjustment on tops and shirts. I’d prefer not to have too many back seams on this delightful design but not sure what to do.

Karin replied to the topic shortening the sleeves? in the forum liesl + co: chaval coat 3 years ago

Since no one else is jumping in here, I can only offer a bit of insight from lengthening things, which is that when you change the length, the width (or circumference) changes a bit too. So my tendency in the case of shortening a sleeve would be to do it in a way that ensures the sleeve is the width you want at various points on the arm. Not sure…[Read more]
Karin replied to the topic Pattern size – height in the forum liesl + co: yanaka jacket 3 years ago

For what it’s worth, I didn’t find that information on the pattern I bought either. I usually need an extra inch or two (or three) spread through the torso, and so I look for waist length info. The best I could do was to measure the pattern and hope for the best!

Others here have spoken of making a muslin, which I admire but will never be…[Read more]

I just purchased 3 of your patterns and can’t wait to start sewing, the instructions are really thourough and well thought out.

I am sure the info is somewhere to be found, I just have not managed to: Which height are the patterns made for? I am quite tall and allways neeed to adjust, it is only a matter of how much.

Kathy started the topic shortening the sleeves? in the forum liesl + co: chaval coat 3 years ago

Hello,
I’d like to shorten the sleeves approximately 5 inches. I’m not sure where best to do this, as there’s no lengthen/shorten line. Should I divide the 5 inches between two locations on the sleeve? Am I correct in assuming I should shorten in approximately the same place on the under sleeve and upper sleeve?
Thank you!

Thank Liesl; sorry to be slow to respond. That helps to figure out how much I should lengthen the bodice. It’s a slight problem that the pattern measurements don’t specify what the finished waist length is in each size. I lengthen as a matter of course anyway, but it’s sometimes hard to know how much!
Nirmala D started the topic Confusion about sleeve cuff in the forum liesl + co: classic shirt 3 years ago

I am just not getting it! While I successfully sewed the collar stand, I cannot seem to sew the sleeve cuff and facing together as instructed. I’ve looked at the instructions and the sew-along carefully a couple of times and tried and ripped out. It is the part where we are to re-sew the 1 inch seam that previously attached the interfaced cuff to…[Read more]

Hi Bonnie (@bonlou)
This is not really the place to ask as it’s not a pattern from this company.
A quick internet search for your pattern came up with a YouTube video tutorial. I suggest you try that.

Sorry about that–the waist is the narrowest part. It gets wider for the hips…
