Adrienne started the topic Cutting confusion… How many back pieces? in the forum oliver + s: roller skate 10 years ago

Hi!
I’m preparing to cut the fabric for my first “Roller Skate Dress”. However, I’m already confused. On the pattern piece it says to cut TWO?? of the lining and the back dress piece? I’m reading that incorrectly, right?
I should only need to cut …
– 1 Front
– 1 Front Lining
– 1 Back
– 1 Back Lining

Thanks everyone!! I’ll check that all out!
Amanda started the topic Putting piping on the center skirt panel in the forum oliver + s: tea party 10 years ago

I have a question about the instructions for putting the bias tape on the center skirt panel. In step #1 of that section, it says to baste the bias tape onto the sides of the center skirt panel. I assume with 1/2 inch SA because it doesn’t mention otherwise.

Then, in step 2, it says to machine- or hand-baste the piping in place using a 3/8 inch…[Read more]

What do you do w/ your unwanted fabric?

I’m in the process of cleaning and consolidating my sewing room. It had kinda got out of hand (again). Over the years, I’ve been given plenty of fabrics, but most of it isn’t suitable for my needs. I also have plenty of larger scraps but the cuts aren’t nearly enough to make a garment. I don’t have any…[Read more]

Thanks, @Jennifer That was perfect, and I scooped up a few other paper patterns I wanted in the larger sizes. 😀

Thanks for the tip! Although they do have it in-stock, they don’t ship overseas. Darn! The hunt continues…

Apologies for any typos and the lack of a proper link, i’m topping on my phone.

If you can’t find one in the USA then there might be one at http://www.brightonsewingcentre.Co.uk They sometimes have some of the out of print patterns. I have no idea if they ship overseas. Good luck with your hunt.

Have any of y’all seen an online shop that sells the paper pattern for the larger Sailboat top/pants? I realize it’s a discontinued pattern (now available in digital), but I want to find it in paper! I wonder if I’m just out of luck (for the time being), or if someone has stumbled upon one for sale recently? I’m in the USA.

Thanks!!

Thank you all for reminding me.

I am a tad particular too. Once I left univerals, the quality of the stitch was much improved. But in this case a universal would be perfect.

I had the best day at work today, I got to spend all day in the woodwork/metalwork shed at school making wooden swords! I haven’t done any woodwork for over 20 years and that was only one term at school. I used the plane, hammer, chisel and files as well as the belt sanders, and drill. I really enjoyed the physical hands on of woodwork 🙂

Okay; finally tried this, yesterday. No luck! Those suckers wouldn’t lay flat. I had already felted the fabric, so no need to worry about felting it (again)…

I realized I have two options; leave it off completely, or hand-sew it. It’s pajamas…guess which one I chose. 😉 She woke up saying last night was her most “confident night” (meaning com…[Read more]

Thanks @KAREN. Going on a camp is probably the Australian way of saying an extended excursion. They are going to Ningaloo https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ningaloo_Coast.
