Todd Gibson replied to the topic digital pattern scale in the forum liesl + co: metro t-shirt 4 years ago
There are times when the calibration of a printer’s driver is just off by a bit. We’ve seen cases of this happening more than once.
If you want to double check the file vs. what the printer is saying about the size of the test square when printed, you can turn the rulers on in Adobe Reader to measure the size of the square within the software. I…[Read more]

For clarity sake, can you say whether you were printing the A4/letter version, or 36″ wide roll, or A0 standard paper sheets.
If someone tries to fit the US 36″ wide (darn you US rebels) to an international standard A0 sheet the scaling could easily end up whacked.

Angela started the topic digital pattern scale in the forum liesl + co: metro t-shirt 4 years ago
I think it’s worth a mention… just had the digital pattern for the Womens Metro T-Shirt printed by my local print shop. It took 3 tries to get the 1-inch test square to the correct size. The final print was at 103%. They use Adobe Acrobat software to size, scale, and interface with their printers. And, they noted that this was a first for having…[Read more]

Thank you for pointing out that there is a whole separate piece for the front button placket…duh! I also thought the 1″ piece cut off was the piece to interface and I’m like, that’s too narrow… I am grateful for this easy to use forum! I didn’t have to scrap my sewing plans for the day!!

dubhels2003 started the topic Marais in non- stretch woven in the forum liesl + co: marais knit dress + top 4 years ago
I’m interested in sewing the marais dress in a non stretch woven fabric. I can size up, is there anything else I would need to do? I could cut some bits on the bias, but feel this would be option rather than a requirement?
I’d welcome any thoughts and ideas, and I’d love to hear if any testers used a woven.
Thank you.

Also, because of the way the top is constructed, you can easily make more tummy room by slashing and spreading the middle piece from the bottom up, in addition to grading out at the side seams.

Hi Cybele! My measurements are UB 37, FB 41, Waist 33. I sewed up the L D-cup as a muslin and was surprised to see that it fit pretty spot on (I was expecting the upper chest and straps to be too big/wide, and that I would have to adjust the seams, but neither of those things were the case). Your full bust is a little bigger than mine, but…[Read more]

HI ALL::
Long time no chat!
I love the Marais. Is it better to pick the size based on upper bust or full bust and do FBA/grading?
UB 37 (sized M)
FB 42 (between L and XL)
Band: 37 (sized M)
Waist:39 (XXL)The fit point on this seems to be shoulders and bust.
Do I start with a M in the shoulders…Then do a bit of an FBA on a D cup?
Then…[Read more]

Susan replied to the topic Verdun sleeves in the forum liesl + co: verdun woven t-shirt 4 years ago
I am not replying to the Verdun Sleeves but to the use of Rayon in the presentation of the Verdun T. Did you know that Rayon production was banned in the United Stated in 2013 by the EPA because the manufacturing process was so toxic to the health of the workers. I think it may have involved the use of formaldehyde. Also it is a cellulose fiber…[Read more]

The two are completely separate patterns, so I can’t say for sure. But you could certainly try it!
