Oh why is this fabric so blue?

Todd Gibson replied to the topic problem matching up back pants piece with bottom back panel in the forum oliver + s: field trip 8 years ago
As Liesl mentioned, there was indeed a minor grading issue on Piece 3. It was most pronounced (about 1/4″) on the smallest sizes.
We have updated the digital pattern to fix the issue and have issued an errata notice which is now available…[Read more]

Thanks! I thought that was right, but wanted to be sure before I made my buttonholes!

@madelouisville hi Lyndsey, the top corner of the button placket template should line up with the top corner of the finished button placket and then the buttonholes marked from there.
From memory the template doesn’t really have a bottom, it just continues… So long as the lowest buttonhole is well and truly on your placket then you’re right. If…[Read more] -

I just wanted to check. I know the button placement template says “copy placement to finished placket” but the template is much longer than my finished placket. Am I doing this correctly or should I have marked the placement before attaching?
Thanks! -

I took a quick glance at this and it appears to be a grading issue. My apologies that we didn’t catch it earlier. As soon as I have time I’ll address it and we’ll issue an errata, ok?

I have version 3 of the digital pattern of Cargo Pants. I am also having the same problem as someone from three years ago.
The bottom of the back pants does not fit with the top of the bottom back panel. I have checked orientation and the pattern.
I do not see any errata about it.
I can cut the sides down, but wonder why there is no fix for…[Read more] -

Jenni Scott started the topic Suiting the cloth to the pattern – hints? in the forum oliver + s: building block dress 8 years ago
I have been given the lovely task / challenge of making a dress for a friend’s little daughter (1 year old) – using African wax cloth, which is rather stiff! I was hoping that the Building Block Dress book, which I have just bought and received, would give me some good ideas, but it doesn’t (at first read) talk very much about how to match up your…[Read more]

Ava started the topic making a blouse from the block in the forum oliver + s: building block dress 8 years ago
If you want to make a blouse similar to the butterfly blouse style, do you just extend the bodice more into an A line from the building block book? I see there is a option to change the back to one similar to the butterfly blouse. Hoping to do a blouse with a bell sleeve, just want to get an idea of the proportions of the blouse compared to the…[Read more]

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Bistro dress in the forum liesl + co: bistro dress 8 years ago
@lisachawk so sorry to hear about your difficulties with the pattern.
That definitely sounds like something is off. Are you working with a digital copy of this pattern? If so, be sure to check the scale measurements on the copy you printed to make sure that it has been printed true to scale. You also might want to check the finished measurements…[Read more]
