Sometimes you can lose some seam allowance if the seam is not perfectly flat. Perhaps try dampening in and rolling it under your fingers.
Is the the step you are referring too?

I really appreciate all the input! I haven’t made many pants that are supposed to “fit”, mainly just elastic waist ones, so they weren’t too bad before! I think I’ll measure up some of the pattern pieces and compare them to his current size and see what looks like it will fit the best!

Good on you Fiona. I expect you will put a plan in place to sew things for the Mayfair throughout the year. It feels quite rewarding when your things prove to be popular.

I started the hot pink hopscotch skirt yesterday and had fully intended to finish it also. Alas I think we have some pearly white teeth coming as my poor baby has been terribly…[Read more]

Another that has not sewn the Library dress but I have made many outfit from for my children.

I adore sewing the stiffer silks, they are easy to handle and sew well.

First up, decide how you want to launder your garment, pre-wash and stick to that method. If you chose to hand wash (…[Read more]

Reeni replied to the topic Sewing Library Dress with vintage silk in the forum oliver + s: library 10 years ago

I have not sewn this pattern but have had the fortune (or foolhardiness?) to sew with silk before. Get good fine pins and use a lot of pattern weights because it is slippery. If the silk is handkerchief weight/sheer you’ll need good quality lining that will take the same washing as the silk and keeps the fluid quality. some nice sharp needles for…[Read more]

How is this format working for everyone? We thought it would be nice to give the sew-alongs a home where they’ll be easy to find, especially if you have questions about the pattern. Plus, it frees up the blog for other exciting things!
Allison started the topic Sewing Library Dress with vintage silk in the forum oliver + s: library 10 years ago

Hi everyone,

I came across two packages of vintage silk at an antique shop–they’re packaged in their original plastic envelope and labeled “Silk of Siam.” They say that they were woven in Thailand and have an importer’s name on them. I’m not sure how old it is, but I believe it’s in good condition–just a bit of fraying and no smell. I still…[Read more]

I am in the final stretch of completing my first Garden Party dress and love how quickly it comes together – much faster than I anticipated. But I found when I was completing the front yoke that when I folded over the final piece on the front, that it wasn’t quite long enough to cover the stitching line (from attaching the yoke to the backside of…[Read more]

I love the idea of using the Sailboat pants/skirt to make overalls!
