Lately, I think playtime dresses have been the most worn. Comfortable and easy, she can put them on herself and they still look enough like dresses to be liked, but are easy to play around in. Ice cream gets a lot of wear in the warmer months, I think. On a day like today I can’t even remember what it feels like to be warm.

The bedtime pjs or is…[Read more]

I think my most worn garments are the two matching floral Jump Rope dresses I made when Sofia was 3. They both wore them a lot and now Sofia has started wearing the pink one I made Isabel.

Least worn was also an After School set, and the Class Picnic shorts I made Isabel. But Sofia found those and started using them for gym so all hope isn’t lost.

Such an interesting topic. What is it about certain garments that gets them so much wear, and others so little? Fabric is a big part of it, as mentioned above. I made an After School top in a very light cream cotton and piped the top — the body of it was so light that the shirt became top heavy and was always skewing off one shoulder. Then I made…[Read more]

My sweet Liddy turned 11 today and I made her a red sunhat, at her request.
It was the Sunkissed sunhat but I did go all LTTS bucket hat on the construction.

My older daughter wore her School Photo Dress for school photos and then never again. She did not like the high collar. My youngest daughter wore her Apple Picking Dress to shreds. It was also the first O&S item I made! All of the class picnic shorts get worn daily by both girls in the summertime.

Great topic Nicole! I think my most worn items would be all the Class Picnic blouses I’ve made. Not only does my little fusspot love the style, they seem to fit for years and then get passed on to my niece who wears them for years. Great for summer but equally good layered for cooler months. My least worn item would have been the Pinwheel dress…[Read more]

Piper loves her PJ’s. I have made two pair and they are worn on frequent rotation. @juliamom2009 one of P’s pair is a crop pant as well. 😉

Least worn, nearly everything else. She will wear most things, once or twice but that’s about it. She is very particular about fit and fabric and I usually get it wrong. It’s one of the big reasons I have…[Read more]

No worries! I’ve been in meetings all afternoon so I’m just now getting back to this. Thank you so much!

Sorry you have been waiting for a reply, I just now logged on and saw your question. Fabric requirements for the small bag are: 1/2 yard fabric for the outer, 1/2 yard for the lining, 1/2 yard for the straps, 1/2 yard canvas for backing Fabric A (optional), 4 yards 1/2″ wide bias binding.

Hope that helps!

So pretty! Love it!

I learned my lesson, if it’s an O+S pattern made out of knit, Sophie will wear it. She actually wore out a pair of nature walk pants last week. Hopscotch, sailboat top, leggings, and playtime tunic have all been popular. Things made out of flannel are also well received (either pyjama pattern or the class picnic made into a dress).

I thought hard about this one, cause it’s a great question – then, I realized that the answer was right in front of me – 100% definitely, the most worn and least worn are from the same pattern – my daughter has worn these pajama bottoms probably about 5 days out of 7 – they are now half-way up her shins, yet she still wears them. The flannel is…[Read more]

I think I’m a bit new to oliver +s to play this game, but here goes anyway. Most worn are class picnics, and baby number two (5 months) is today wearing these sailboat trousers which got heaps of wear first time round, and will certainly do so again.

Worryingly they are size 12-18 months.…[Read more]

My babies wore lots of these for every day wear…

And, lots of bloomers and diaper shirt/short dress type things.

For longer dresses, we always had matching bloomers. Once they are down and crawling around you can bunch up the end of the dress and tuck it in the bloomers in the back.…[Read more]
