sarsourour started 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

When I was in NYC recently, I purchased a bunch of 1/2 yard cuts of beautiful Liberty of London fabrics from Purl Soho (love that store, btw). In the moment I felt I had already spent so much money on fabric (at Mood) that I thought I could get away making things with 1/2 yards. What was I thinking?! I ALWAYS buy 2 yards at a time. So anyway.…[Read more]

Great to know — I am about to draft a pair of size 5s and I’ll keep an eye out for this issue.
Erin S replied to the topic After School Pants Pattern Issues in the forum oliver + s: after-school 10 years ago

Thanks so much for looking into it! I made another pair last night and ended up just adding 3/4″ to back and side panel pieces and 1.5″ to the front piece and now everything matches up perfectly. Not sure what’s going on, but that fix works for me!

Our friend, Brittney, is here to walk us through how to sew the Puppet Show Shorts. This originally appeared on the blog as part of the Size 5 Project.

We all know how great Liesl’s instructions are. They are what taught me to sew, so we will be following them to the letter. Sometimes it helps to have photographs, though, and sew-alongs…[Read more]

I just finished my first Jelly Roll Race quilt top! 3 hours start to finish, including cutting 40 2.5″ fabric strips and the pressing at the end 🙂
Back to work tomorrow, I probably won’t get nearly as much sewing done during the week 🙁

Oh my great big post didn’t post!

I know it is early days Masha, but I am thrilled there has been such progress made! It may be a long road or a short one but whatever the length I hope it is a successful one in that he regains much (preferrably all) movement, enough to be able to feel healed. It can’t be easy, but aren’t these glimmers such…[Read more]

Oh yes! @sahmcolarado I did! Thankfully they had put it aside for me. And because there is still 30% off all dress fabrics at Spotlight, I “splurged” and bought a metre of purple double velvet! I’ll make something special but what I am currently unsure.

Masha, I have been thinking of you constantly since you posted your news. I am so glad there has been improvement and that you seem to have a really awesome network of support. It is probably for the best that Niko is having formula some of the time.

Of course like Janice has said in her post above, the success rate of recovery from strokes is…[Read more]
