thejennigirl replied to the topic Seam finishes when overlaying with tulle in the forum oliver + s: garden party 9 years ago
I did something similar the first time I made this pattern.
I had to sew the skirt side seams in layers; the base fabric was french seamed, the overlay was french seamed, and then I put the 2 layers of skirt together before attaching to the bodice. For the bodice, I basted and then sewed the side seams wrong side together, ironed (I have an iron…[Read more]

dubhels2003 started the topic Seam finishes when overlaying with tulle in the forum oliver + s: garden party 9 years ago
I’m making a garden party in slinky lilac/blue synthetic fabric, which I have overlaid with a nylon lilac/blue tulle. I have cut the tulle longer than the dress.

I should have updated with pictures, eh?
I didn’t have enough time to make and finish the chain mail shirt, but he claimed that the shirt would have been too uncomfortable and itchy after he wore the fitted chain mail hood all day. I am glad the weather was beautiful and unseasonably warm on Thursday for the fair itself, as there was no school on…[Read more]

Sew Alongs 9 years agoI want to leave my tunic sleeveless. My plan was to simply finish the arms with single fold bias. Will that work?

Sew Alongs 9 years agoThank you for that photo in Step 7! I wish I was better at visualizing these things from the words alone, but my mind seems to need those visual aides!

Imogen needs a new swimsuit and in a hurry, so I have downloaded some Jalie patterns pdf style and plan to make…[Read more]

Sew Alongs 9 years agoHi! This is my first time participating in a sew along, however, it will be my second Gallery Tunic. I was hoping you could give a recommendation/share what type of interfacing you typically use for the placket/collar/cuffs. The interfacing I used on my first tunic was definitely too stiff (I don’t remember exactly what it was!). I have Pelion…[Read more]
