Sure, but be warned the sewing queue is long! I’ve got three bear suits and a Goldilocks dress to sew for next month’s Melburn-Roobaix

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!

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.

thank you. This is exactly what I needed to know. L D cup with slash and spread! THANK YOU!
Masha Richart replied to the topic Picking the right size for a petite curvy girl!!!! in the forum liesl + co: marais knit dress + top 4 years ago

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.
Masha Richart replied to the topic Picking the right size for a petite curvy girl!!!! in the forum liesl + co: marais knit dress + top 4 years ago

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]
