Thank you for the email. Heidi is right. It is another reason to love this. Also an errata makes me feel better. I was like.. hmmm… am I insane? Can I not sew?
Now off to download my new digital copy with the errata fixed! Another reason to love it. I get a new “fixed” copy of the pattern!

I haven’t sewn at all yet today. I am tossing up what to do. We have an event next week and I need to make something special for the baby but what pattern? At the moment I am swaying between the garden party and the library dresses. I am not sure how the garden party goes in terms of fit on a baby of 6 months so I guess it means measuring and…[Read more]

Oh, Sarvi! I love that idea (and…a new website browse).
Heidi, good point! I have that one and plan to use it. I never have great luck with knits holding up as well as wovens, but will absolutely make a few.
Thanks!

Don’t forget the parachute Polo, it’s got a collar and looks great 🙂

catherinel replied to the topic What to do with 1/2 yard cuts of Liberty in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago
You could piece it together (if they go together well), or with coordinating solid or stripe or gingham in large horizontal bands and make the popover sundress.
The voile is usually not a good bottom weight, but if you underlined it you could get a sailboat skirt out of half a yard. -

I just finished cutting out Field Trip Raglan tee and Playtime leggings in organic wool jersey for pajamas (natural color). I live in San Francisco, so our “winter” is in the Summertime, when the fog rolls in nightly — it gets super cold and wet.

How about the lawn/shirting weights from Yoshiko Jinzenji (sp?) — they make terrific little shirts and aren’t too hot.

Sew Alongs 10 years agoHere’s my skirt! I made it out of a scrap from a (now outgrown) dress that I had made for my little girl. This is a size 5, and she’s really losing her baby fat. I had to pull that elastic tight!

I’m more a fan of versatile basics than prints (with the exception of liberty of course). HOWEVER, my boy starts kindergarten this fall and dress code dictates that he must wear a collared shirt each day. I thought to make things a little more kid friendly I’d buy a few cute prints for shirts for the school wardrobe. So…what are your favorite…[Read more]

Hi all,
So I think I figured out why the polo placket was giving some of you issues. We’ve issued an errata for the pattern, so check the page before you sew your next one. However, rest assured that if you’ve already started sewing one it will still work without the corrections! You’ll just apply the collar a little differently and start from…[Read more]

Thanks for responding! Unfortunately, I don’t still have that piece. I think I cut out the size 4 thinking that still “saved” the other, smaller sizes (since it does on the side seams, etc.).
