Liesl Gibson started the topic pattern testing "try outs" in the forum off topic 10 years ago

We get emails from people wanting to be pattern testers all the time. Here’s your opportunity! I need a few people to test a women’s skirt for our spring collection. The pattern has already been tested, but I want to be absolutely sure it’s correct since we had a little grading glitch the first time.

If you’re SERIOUS about wanting to be a…[Read more]

@kgiff, new teacher. I may as well earn a few Brownie points 🙂

@with love Heidi, flexibility but responsibility. Roots and wings, as Jed and I like to say. 🙂

@EllenMCM, it has been so very hot here it seems a bit bonkers to be sewing trousers.

I made a tiny Tea Party for Beatrix today, purely as sewing therapy after the dress for my cousin. It was palate cleanser indeed.

Next up, some nighties for Trixie…[Read more]

Dawn R replied to the topic pattern advice: costume jackets for tweens/teens… in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

I would have used felt and paint. That blue painters paint works well on felt. I do a lot of the costumes for my son’s school and at play time, I feel like I have a full time job sewing. Last year for Hairspray, I made something like 16 dresses as well as a bunch of other pieces. Wouldn’t have been so bad if they weren’t all different sizes…[Read more]

I have made myself three dresses and a lightweight coat last year, so I want to continue to make as many clothes for myself as I can so I don’t have to buy much. I want to perfect fitting and learn bra making. I also want to continue making clothes for my youngest granddaughter but also get into making garments for my two grandsons- bought…[Read more]

The second Ottobre blouse is now underway, with the placket all done. It’s a busy week at work, so I’m taking it in small chunks. Sleeves and side seams tomorrow.

Nicole, I have some field trip trousers on my to-do list as well, for my dd who loves her field trip shorts and for my nephew who is two and is refusing to wear anything else. But I’m…[Read more]

My serger theading method is closer to Nicole’s than to the video’s. That jet air looks dreamy!

I love this thread, by the way. Any video requests for this year?

Nicole, I like that “you can change your mind until it’s cut.” Lots of oppituinty for discussion and working out what you want 🙂
It looks like another day of summer storms. We’ve had about 1 a fortnight here for the last 6 weeks. I don’t rember so many summer storms other years.
I want to sew a small messenger bag, finish my bathers, sew a scarf…[Read more]

I want to learn to sew with knits and install zippers.

I will sew something for myself that isn’t pajamas:-). The Sorbetto top is on my list if I can figure out how to do the FBA on a one-piece pattern…

@motherof5 wow that is quite the undertaking!

I want to make the Bistro for me.

I need to make 3 pairs of Afterschool pants for my daughter. She loves that pattern and I love that I can fit her no butt, no waist, no hips body so that they actually STAY up and don’t flash butt crack.

I want to take time to really learn from my Craftsy classes to help with fit. (I got Joi’s Fit class, and…[Read more]
