Nirmala D replied to the topic Fit advice for the Camp Shirt in the forum liesl + co: camp shirt + dress 5 years ago
Here are 2 new photos showing the sleeve back and front. I reduced the width of the top of the shoulder by about 3/8 ” tapering to nothing about 3 ” down the front and the back yoke. I think the front is improved with this narrower shoulder. But Please help me understand what I am seeing in the back. What are the wrinkles saying? I does not…[Read more]

Hello James,
As it happens, we have a blog tutorial specifically for this topic! I hope this helps:

James started the topic Belly adjustment in the All Day Shirt in the forum liesl + co: all day shirt 5 years ago
I’m making an All Day Shirt for a friend for his wedding. He’s a fairly big guy. I made a muslin in the XXL. Overall, I feel like the fit is pretty good-i like where the shoulder seams land, the sleeves need to be shortened slightly, but that’s an easy fix. It definitely meets, and I like the ease in the chest, but there is less ease at the…[Read more]

Kate replied to the topic Dress Variation O bow in the forum oliver + s: building block dress 5 years ago
Thank you so much! I’ll take a look. My daughter remembered my Pink Panther fabric in my quilting stash and requested that for the patch pocket instead of one shaped like a cat. 🤷🏻♀️ She has a vision…

I’m making these for the first time and they are adorable! I was wondering why, when finishing the rise, we are instructed to clip the seam between the notches and simply press open the rest of the seam, rather than finish the entire seam (steps 7 & 8 of Assemble the Pants Panels)? I’m a new sewer, so I’m inquiring just for my own edification.…[Read more]

Hi Kate (@matuhart), I’ve just moved house and everything is in boxes, so I don’t have my book on hand. But…
There is a free felt bow pattern here on the Oliver + S website under the Free Patterns tab.
If you want to use your dress fabric, you can still use this pattern. I’ve sewn it in fabric by adding a 1/4″ seam allowance, stitching and…[Read more]

My daughter has specifically asked
me to make dress variation O (with the cat patch pocket), including the bow. I looked through the book and didn’t find any mention of how I could make the bow. Any suggestions where I could find this? I’m also wondering if the bow could be made removable without resorting to pins. Any ideas?Thanks!

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Thoughts on using a large-scale print? in the forum liesl + co: chaval coat 5 years ago
Depending on the weight and thickness of the lining I think it could be great! Would love to see it when you’re done.

Reeni started the topic Thoughts on using a large-scale print? in the forum liesl + co: chaval coat 5 years ago
I ordered custom-printed canvas to make a long coat but I realized the pattern I had in mind has princess seams and all the pieced details of a trenchcoat. So now I am thinking the Chaval pattern instead will let the fabric shine — it is a large-scale anemone print in navy on natural color/beige ground. I’ll need to line it in something heavier…[Read more]
