Chris Colavizza started the topic Yanaka broad shoulder adjustment in the forum liesl + co: yanaka jacket 4 years ago
Hello. I’m making the Yanaka jacke and have broad shoulders, which I knew before I made my toile. Any ideas how to adjust the shoulders. The length is good and can’t really tell about the rest of my jacket, yet.
Thanks for any help.

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Assembling PDF patterns in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 4 years ago
Our PDF patterns are a little different than others in that you do not assemble a whole, large pattern sheet with all the pieces on it. Instead, you will be assembling the individual pieces one by one. (Why put them all together in a large sheet only to immediately cut them apart, right?) The tiled pieces do not fit together into a single sheet,…[Read more]

I don’t have experience making these shorts for kids at the upper end of the size range, but I have made them in knit with good success – that would provide a bit more ease. I think you could also fairly easily just widen the pattern pieces (maybe just the back panel, maybe both) and add a little onto the waistband.

I’ve made loads of these for my grandchildren, I love the pattern and have recommended it no end of times. Howeveer, I’m coming unstuck on the oldest one, now 7, she has always been very tall for her age, now over 4’6″, and is also now quite shapely. The largest size on the pattern is 12. I can easily add to the length, as I think they’ll be a bit…[Read more]

I am noticing the same thing! It made sense on the collar band but sewing the cuff and facing together 1 in into the sleeve creates a strange jutting out cuff that rolls the placket pieces inward! I am ignoring directions as written and just sewing the curve.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Marais in non- stretch woven in the forum liesl + co: marais knit dress + top 4 years ago
As far as I know it hasn’t been done. The pattern was specifically designed for knits, so I’m afraid I can’t offer any advice here. It may be worth a try if you’re willing to fiddle with it, but I can’t offer any assurances since it’s outside of the scope of the pattern itself.

I made a laptop case for my son recently as he needed a soft pouch with pockets for mouse and charger and earbuds. The Field Trip Cargo pocket instructions to the rescue to help me create a bellow pocket!
I never cease to be impressed how often the Oliver + S instructions can help out! -
