I made a Colette Mabel Skirt in half an hour before work yesterday in fleece, except for the seams. It worked but even though I went up a size to account for the lack of stretch in the fleece it was too firm for comfortable movement. I’m thinking of cutting 4″ off the bottom and adding a ruffle to give me more movement as I’d love to have such a…[Read more]

Johanna started the topic Waistband too short in the forum liesl + co: city stroll wrap skirt 10 years ago
I’m finishing a size 12 City Stroll Wrap Skirt. The waistband seems to be too short to fit on the skirt. The waistband piece is 21 1/2″ and is cut on the fold so would end up 43″ minus 1″ after sewing together the ends before turning. The waist on the unfinished skirt is 43″ so I’m short an inch. I can cut another waistband but wondered if it is…[Read more]

I’m trying to get a copy of Kerstin Martinssen’s Kwik Sew Book of Swim and Activewear, which is out of stock. There is an Australian Website which has the book for 28.99 AUS and 5.00 shipping but they will not ship to the U.S.
I am more than willing to send in return for the book and shipping Oliver and S patterns, Lisette patterns and/or…[Read more]

Nicole, I’m eagerly awaiting the big reveal of the coat!
I had a bit of time on my hands last night while waiting for dough to rise, so I sat down with a cut Maritime and started hand stitching it with button thread, Chaninesque. Not doing the embellishments, just basic construction and tacking down the seams. Going to try it on and then see…[Read more]

MaryC replied to the topic What do you think? Feedback welcome. in the forum
Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoJust got patterns for Maritime Top and Gallery Tunic. At first glance I can say the instructions look to be SO much clearer than other commercial patterns I have tried (with failure). I would appreciate any and all tips on adjusting patterns, particularly in the “armscye” area(had to look that one up). Lots of info on fitting for large busts…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoI love the maritime top – I wear knits most of the time, and I really like the bateau neckline of that top. Also I’m obsessed with stripes.
I also really like the gallery tunic. It reminds me of the Tova top, which I just made a few versions of and which turned out pretty well. The gallery top has a curved hem, though, which I’m really…[Read more] -
