Rhythm, I have bought at least a dozen O+S patterns now, and I notice that I am a much better sewist after making them up. I learn new things with each one. The tutorials and the forum here help a lot, too. It’s been a great way to learn. Best of luck to you.

BeckyinFL started the topic Need thin piping cord. Where to buy? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago
I’ve been looking for some time for very thin cord to use for piping on baby clothes. Any suggestions? I would prefer something that doesn’t shrink, but if cotton is all I can find, I’ll pre-shrink it. I’m about to buy some cotton yarn to use, though it is a bit too soft for the use. Many thanks.

Fiber Club! 10 years agoI am also an obsessive reader of project notes on Revelry before starting something – I usually at least scroll through every picture on the project pages and click on a few. I love it when people leave really detailed notes about finished measurements so I try to do the same with my projects. With shawls I think I have found that I needed to do…[Read more]

Fiber Club! 10 years agoI am a frog-er when things don’t go right in knitting. Nice yarn is expensive and I am cheap! It is true, though, that after I frog a project I tend not to want to pick the needles back up for awhile. I always end up going back to it, though. There is something wonderful about knitting, curled up in a chair, with a cup of tea or coffee at your…[Read more]

Fiber Club! 10 years agoHow about going back to knitting some basic, easy stuff that you can complete in the blink of an eye, using gorgeous colour yarn, from a good manufacturer? Nothing too big, say child’s size to start so you get quick, satisfying results- get your enjoyment from using beautiful yarn instead of complex stitch or garment patterns. Pick something not…[Read more]

Hiya Rhythm!
I don’t know how experienced a sewist you are, so difficult to answer straight off. Also, what do you need to learn about- fitting skills? Things like different seam finishes,setting in zips and making buttonholes or more complex stuff like tailoring? Are you experienced using all the different machine feet you can get? Do you want…[Read more] -

I want to invest in some quality sewing books to learn to be a better sewist. This forum is full of immensely knowledgeable people, so where better to ask! What are your recommendations?

Brittney replied to the topic Question on moving darts for the Bistro dress in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago
I must confess, I don’t own this one (yet, still nursing), but in the comment section on this post it says there is a SBA included: http://oliverands.com/community/blog/2014/10/introducing-the-liesl-co-bistro-dress-pattern.html
I apologize, I should have sourced that the first time, but I was on my phone.

I’ll look up the sba adjustments, thanks!
Brittney, I will look up the adjustment in the pattern, I was pretty sure I read it through, I must have missed it in my panic to get it done! thanks for the head’s up.

Fiber Club! 10 years agoAs an example of everything that’s wrong with knitting: I started a shawl project at the beginning of the soccer season (I can’t lug my sewing machine to the field, after all) and it was close to finished, so I motivated myself to finish it off. Lovely pink Tosh yarn, pretty pattern with lots of excellent reviews on ravely, not too hard, not too…[Read more]
