Nicole replied to the topic Lining the Hopscotch in the forum oliver + s: hopscotch 8 years ago
I would have used a circle lining if I had not cut out the pieces three months ago… 😬 Now as the weather is getting colder I would like to add the second layer and have to figure out how. If you say it should work to add the lining within the last steps I will go on stitchting the skirt together and use the outer skirt as a pattern piece for the…[Read more]

Hmmm, I just made this pattern yesterday so it’s fresh in my mind…
The placket is the very last thing you do, so I can see two ways you could line it without changing the order of steps.
One would be to effectively underline each front and back panel and have the lining enclosed in the hem. ie treat the lining and main fabric as one when it…[Read more] -

Hello!
Is there anybody out there who tried lining the skirt and keeping a working button placket?
I only lined Geranium/Washi dresses so far and have no idea how to do it for the front of the skirt and if I have to change the order of the working steps.
If you have some advice I would be pleased to hear.

I didn’t really intend the pattern with long sleeves, but I suppose there’s no reason you couldn’t adopt the armholes and sleeves from the Metro Tee if you were so inclined…

It would be an interesting exercise to see if the Bento sleeves don’t fit right on there… But then I don’t have the pattern to hand. Yet. 🙂

It may be possible? It’s kind of a Dolman style, the band at the bottom is what creates the sleeve look.

It looks like it is an inset sleeve, which means you have a few options.
1) take the short sleeve and lengthen and narrow as it you would like; or
2) find a sleeve you like and take the pattern’s sleeve cap and draft that onto that sleeve pattern.
Although, looking at the pictures (I don’t have the pattern) it looks like it might be a boxier…[Read more]

Any possibility of adding 3/4 sleeves to the Chai Tee? I would like to make it for fall (and also don’t wear short sleeves). Suggestions? – is the armscye a normal shape/size so one could add a regular sleeve?

I recently made 2 Building Block Dresses with a reverse scallop as shown on page 25. I struggled with the idea of how to get the points and finally came up with an idea that worked. I made a facing out of scrap material and sewed it with a basting stitch, turned, clipped and pressed. Then I removed the stitching and there was the scallop ready…[Read more]

Sizing this coat up may not be easy to do. You could always use the Grainline Cascade Duffle Coat pattern instead.
