I highly recommend the everyday skirt for sure and the Cappacino tunic as well. I love how this top can be sewn in a knit as well besides a woven.

I’m glad you’re here, @melissamlb42! I’ll be curious to hear what other members of the forum have to say, but I’d probably steer you toward the Woodland Stroll Cape or the Weekend Getaway Blouse next. Both of them are quite simple and straightforward but will challenge your skills to develop a little bit. And I think they both have a certain…[Read more]

I have finally finished my Ginger jeans and have cut out an Appleton top to hopefully wear tomorrow to try it out.

I am hoping the cone denim is in the mail tomorrow so I can get going on my second pair.

If not oh well it is a project for the weekend as term is ending and I have an extended school run to conduct on Friday.

I might, all things…[Read more]

Thanks Todd, that helps!

Body measurements are the same as they are for all our patterns since we use a standard sizing method. So check any of your patterns, and the book will be the same.

I hope it helps! Glad you’re here.

Also, can I just say how astonishing it is that we’re on page 400 of this thread, with nearly 6,000 comments? How wonderful that this community is so active!

Whoops- well, yes, I had seen that tutorial a couple of weeks ago, just forgot about it! (I saw your reply AFTER practicing with piping and then attaching it.) At least I got to try out my stitch-in-the-ditch foot for the first time- what a great little tool for stitching close to the piping! I’ll have to bookmark that tutorial so I refer to it…[Read more]

I did it and it turned out great. Could be a tad longer but she is wearing shorts underneath and the little belt works great.
Thanks for your advice!

That will be cute, @crb73! Are you familiar with the piping tutorial for that pattern? It’s right here:

customizing with oliver + s: after-school shirt with piping

I’m starting my very first Oliver + S pattern (After School Shirt and Pants) for my grand-daughter (12-18 mos size). Am making two pairs of corduroy pants to coordinate with one top. I’m going to try to add piping between the yoke and blouse and I’ll see what else I might do to the shirt to make it stand out a bit more. Can’t wait to see how it…[Read more]

I’m not sewing anything at the moment, as I’m washing winter blankets at the laundromat. It’s very peaceful and quiet here, and I’m very excited about getting the blankets so clean – our washer at home is too small to do a good job. Either that or our blankets are too big. I’ve been taking a class this month so when I get home, I’m going to baste…[Read more]
