I know the forum doesn’t see much action anymore, but I’m no longer on Facebook or Insta, and I’m just so pleased with this make that used not only this gorgeous pattern but also two past blog posts that I wanted to say thanks here.

I think they could work well together, yes! The Brunswick has very simple lines and could be a great layering piece, especially if you coordinate the colors or the fabric. I hope you’ll show us!

I want to make Kyoto for a casual wedding next month. Due to unsettled weather, I was considering the Brunswick jacket. Do you think they will go together?

Thank you for your help and I’ll look at the customizations. I did take out the school bus tee pattern yesterday and I placed the tracing of the hopscotch over it. I noticed that the pattern pieces are straight, rather than shaped at the waist, and the neck line is higher. Im thinking about making a neck facing like the girl on the go too.

Hi Kim,
Three granddaughters to sew for, what a treat!

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Sinatra Top/Dress in the forum liesl + co: sintra halter top + dress 8 months ago
Hello! The Sintra top/dress is unlined, so the pattern and instructions don’t include lining instructions. I would suggest interlining it if you’re adding a lining. With regard to piece 6, there are two size groupings in order to read the details more easily, so you only need to find the piece that includes your size. I hope that helps!

The fabric I have selected is a cotton voile and the dress will need to be lined. Do you have instructions to line this dress? Also, if lined, I may not need the pattern piece #6…but in case I do, or for future reference, could you please tell me how to determine which piece #6 to use? There three different sizes availalbe. I am making a size…[Read more]
