Thanks for your understanding. It really should be called out more clearly than that, so I’ve just added a box to the first page of the tiled pages. Anyone who likes can use their download link to obtain this updated copy. There’s been no change to instructions or pattern pieces.

Jolly good! In that case, it has all printed out perfectly. Thank you so much Todd. I can’t believe after all these years, I didn’t figure that out for myself!!

Katy,

The grid lines on the tiled pattern pieces are all 1″ x 1″. You can use any of those as the test square.

Hello,
Thanks to my very generous husband, I awoke to find the Cartwheel PDF in my inbox. I have printed it out but can’t find the size test square anywhere. Normally (and stated in the instructions) it is on the first pattern page.
Any clues?

many thanks, Katy.

I just started sewing (3 weeks ago) after a lifetime of interest and I just purchased the Block Dress Book to start my venture and thought of no better way to start my journey then to introduce myself to the community. In the next couple of weeks I hope to share my first completed dress I’ll be creating for my daughter.

Thank you,
Charles

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Help with Cartwheel Dress assembly in the forum oliver + s: cartwheel 7 years ago

Lucy, I was hoping to make a video to demonstrate this step but haven’t had a chance yet. The trick is to sew only one shoulder at a time and then turn it right side out before sewing the other shoulder. If you reach in through the sewn shoulder you can pull the dress right side out through the shoulder–it sounds crazy and will feel wrong when…[Read more]

I am at my wit’s end with sewing the armholes and ties. The directions and picture for rolling up the dress and sewing (step 2) is fine, but I cannot make out step three and the picture is not that clear. How I am to turn it out when the neckline and shoulders are sewn together?

Any guidance gratefully received.

Ingrid replied to the topic sleeveless version Book report dress? in the forum oliver + s: book report 7 years ago

Hi all,
thanks for your inputs!
Indeed I can finally opt for a bias binding but I like the construction of the yokes so I am still thinking of how to use this. The option from Reeni is definitely ok for the back which has an outside and inside yoke, however the from part is made of the frontpart of the dress and a yoke, so here I need to figure…[Read more]

Nicole, please forgive me not thanking you sooner for all your helpful suggestions. My ninety-year-old mother gave us a scare last week, necessitating a stay in the hospital. Thankfully, she’s well again, or at least we’ll enough to come home, but everything else went by the wayside. Sewing has been put on hold for now, unfortunately, but I’m…[Read more]

PS Excuse my lack of manners, thank you very much.
Nicole replied to the topic Enlarging the Brunch Jacket from size 8 to size 10/12 in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 7 years ago

@moushka26 I checked my notes and this was a straight size 8. The top she is wearing is a size 12 Hopscotch t-shirt.

I hope that helps.

Nicole, your jacket , and daughter, are adorable. Did you have to do much re-sizing on the pattern? The fit looks perfect.
