Thanks so much for doing this Lotta!

That pattern has just been an OK seller. It was only selling at about half the monthly volume we would need to see to justify a reprint. And it doesn’t sell very well in digital format.

People who sew it seem to really like it, but it’s probably our most difficult pattern. And that puts a lot of people off. Easier patterns always sell better than…[Read more]

Oh, that’s a good point — the PDFs can reach a wider audience.You probably know about this shop in Islington already but I remember seeing them there, maybe they’ll have it? http://www.raystitch.co.uk/

Thank you very much, It’s lovely.

Thanks SO much for doing this! It’s downloaded, printed, and being colored in by my daughter right now – perfect for the “I’m bored” morning she’s having today.

Britteny’s right. The darts don’t start until the size 2T. Below that they’re left out ’cause most toddlers have bellies bigger than their chests.
I’d start with the 18-24m size and cut the lining fabric (assuming it’s a cotton voile or something not too fancy) and use that as a muslin. Baste it and if it fits then there’s your lining already cut.

Thank you so much for compiling all the line drawings and sharing them, Lotta! You’re awesome!

Is that for AUS?
Thank you so much you absolute darling!

I found a season 3 episode 1 here:

I know Sarvi I was surprised too. I think possibly, and Todd may confirm this, that it still sells well but in digital format. I wasn’t actually asking for me but for a friend who prefers paper. I actually prefer digital downloads myself as Oliver + S patterns are not easy to get in the UK. Other than a few places online there are very few bricks…[Read more]

You are all welcome! I’m so happy you like it. 😀

I’ve had parts of it sitting on my computer for months and months and it didn’t feel right not to share!

I’m so surprised this one didn’t have the needed sales for another print run! This seems like everybody’s go-to fancy dress pattern.

Fantastic idea!! Can’t wait to share with the nieces {although it may be used for more “coloring”, than designing….initially}!

This is going to make such a fantastic mom/kid project, thank you! LOTTA, YOU’RE BRILLIANT!

Exactly @meleliza, I admire the skill involved and the time taken to do this. I tend to hand ball (this sort of thing) to Hugo as I am complete dunderhead when it comes to computers.

How fun!
I’ve been tracing line drawings in patterns for years as a way of sketching out my ideas first. Eventually, I got good enough to draw them more freehand, but I still rely on tracing a lot of the time. I like the DOING stuff and completely lack your patience for extracting and PDF making – so thank you for sharing!

I shall give this to…[Read more]

You are amazing, Lotta! I am so excited to print these off.

I don’t think the smaller sizes have the darts, I think just 2T, maybe 3T have them. I have a paper copy and it’s in with a sleeping baby or I would check for sure.

Back to work on the shorts this morning!
