Thanks for heads up Sarvi, that is not a good look.
How does it fit if you shorten the dart? Less taper?

Hallo Tiina, I am so glad you joined. I have girls too (well, one boy) and I have started pulling out O+S clothes I made for older siblings, for the younger ones. I love that!

What patterns do you sew for your husband?

I made this and had the exact same problem. Very hard to get on. I am going to have to cut through the waist area opening it up about three to 5 inches. I will do something like what Mimi did.

This seems to be a common problem, maybe the pattern should be tweaked.

I have had similar problems with other oliver + s patterns and wonder if they…[Read more]

Hi gals,

I’ve made a 3/4″ FBA on a size 8 Gallery tunic, in semi sheer white fabric. I feel as though the bust darts are a bit too long, or something. Feels a bit like two paper airplanes pointing at my nipples! Not quite the look I had in mind. Could I make them shorter? Would I make them wider to compensate?

I was ekeing out some Bedtime Story pajama bottoms from too little fabric and I accidently cut it right side up instead of wrong side. Had to piece to create one of the legs…still came out cute though!

Here’s an old photo of Julia in her first year of pre-school….and a recent one in a lovely dress made by Sarvi!

My daughter too is in her last year at her current Montessori school and heading off to the big bad world of public schools in the fall!

Hi! My name is Tiina and I live in Finland. I have two daughters (ages 6 and 3). I have been sewing for a long time and I sew for my daughters, for myself and sometimes for my husband. I discovered Oliver and S patterns three years ago and love them. Finally decided to register.

@Liesl — I know, I covet most of Rachel Comey’s designs!! I love the simple minimalism of them.

Oh my goodness Nicole, look at how little they were. They grow too fast. 🙁

Nicole, messy is MESSY. From the outside, it’s neat. On the inside, I have one point where the topstitching is an inch away from the stitching attaching the cuff to the sleeve, and the cuff is wrinkled up. I like your method better. I think I’m going to re-cut the cuffs entirely.

I found this today when I was tidying (not O+S though)

Thank you Sarvi, the feeling is entirely mutual.
Sarvi replied to the topic Babies growing up in the forum off topic 10 years ago

And just saw the photo of your cute girl — and great sewing!
Sarvi replied to the topic Babies growing up in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Oh Jane, me too! The most striking ones for me are Jeanne’s daughter and Nicole’s son. From toddler/little boy to young lady/young gent!I have a special spot in my heart for ‘our’ kids. Lucky folks, who get to wear O+S from the beginning.
Nicole replied to the topic Babies growing up in the forum off topic 10 years ago

What a darling!
I love seeing ‘our’ babies grow.
Thank you Jane.

The fifth and final day of the Butterfly Blouse sew-along is now up!
Jane started the topic Babies growing up in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Today was P’s last day of preschool. She did not have an O+S original for her last day, but she has worn a lot of O+S throughout the past two years. I am always so surprised when I see pictures of our little ones on Flickr and think “how did she/he get so big, weren’t they just a toddler.” Since it is nearing the end of the school year in the US,…[Read more]
