Darcy Struble replied to the topic Little Layette in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

Ok quick update! I did mash up the puppet show and tea party play suit and I’m posting a picture of the results! I’m pretty pleased, except that the fabric I chose is pretty awful. But that’s what I get for trying to shop my stash. I guess I’ll just have to make some more. Also, I think I’m going to hand embroider some sail boats on the front. Is…[Read more]

I love what this clever girl has done

The elegant colours with the white hem and white pocket tops. Just lovely!

We are going through potty training at the mo. Lady E decided she just wants to wear frozen pants not nappies, which is fine. She has combined it with getting chicken pox, which means there is a naked spotty bum whizzimg around our front room. She’s pretty fine about the pox at the moment, I think it will hit her tomorrow. Then M will get it, and…[Read more]

Robin replied to the topic Sketchbook Shorts for Girls – Sizing? in the forum oliver + s: sketchbook 10 years ago

Sophie’s got 4 pairs in heavy rotation right now. She’s got a long rise so I added an inch to the back. I did shorten them by 3-4 inches, but went by hip size.

prideandjoy, I have a sewing notion (looks similar to pliers) that is called a pattern notcher. It makes a 1/16″ wide x 1/4″ long notch where needed through my fabric. The notch is then very visible. Thank you for your suggestion.

Awesome Heidi. You are a brick!
Nicole replied to the topic Help Fairy Tale Tulip Sleeves in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

I have not made this gorgeous dress with the sleeves but I will try and help. My apologies if I am not much use.

If it was me, I…[Read more]

Janice, I used the size that their measurements corresponded to. It worked out well!;)
Nicole replied to the topic Sketchbook Shorts for Girls – Sizing? in the forum oliver + s: sketchbook 10 years ago

When fitting jeans, I sew the crotch seam first and then fit the side seams. I was given the tip from a clothing designer, it works really well.
I would wonder if the inseam may need a little pinched out.

They are great shorts. I made Hugo (17) five pairs with an added fly and he wore them until last summer and now the Twins (15) wear them. I…[Read more]
