Hi Victoria, have you seen the errata note for this pattern?
If you go the pattern in the shop then you’ll see the tabs for details, photos, reviews etc There’s a tab for errata.
I’ve seen this shirt a few times and found it works fine, but when the pattern first came out there were a number of people who experienced difficulty fitting the collar…[Read more] -

Wondering if anyone can help. I’m about to put the collar on but it isn’t long enough to go round the top of the shirt and meet at the front. I’ve checked my pattern pieces and I’ve cut out all the right size although its like the back piece is too wide at the top. Disappointed because I was so proud to have done the placket!

Shawn Quinn started the topic Cuff Facing for Builing Block Dress in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 7 years ago
I am sewing this dress for the first time for my eight year old daughter. The 1 inch cuff facing is just too small for a half inch seam and quarter inch fold over. I resized it to 1 3/8 but am curious what this measurement should be.
Thanks

I also love my Bernina, BUT feel that Brother gives you more machine o a whole lot less money and Bernina’s are no longer made in Switzerland, but in Vietnam.Brother has the true self threader and the cost is far less money.

Hi Kate,
Yes, it did end up working out for me, although I ended up having to unpick a lot and work with smaller seam allowances due to my ill-advised corner-cutting.
If you lay the dress flat and roll just as Liesl describes it will work. It’s not difficult, it just *looks* counter-intuitive. I found it pulled through quite easily (I sewed it…[Read more]

Thank you Lucy!!! I am also at wits end at this point and found your post with the answer. I will try again with Liesl’s answer. Did it finally work for you because I’m about to cry? Thanks – Kate

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Bodysuit finished length – chart error? in the forum oliver + s: lullaby 7 years ago
Well, it appears that the error correction contained an error! So sorry about that. The correct length measurements for the bodysuit are as follows:
- 0-3 M: 14″
- 3-6 M: 15 1/2″
- 6-12 M: 17″
- 12-18 M: 18 1/2″
- 18-24 M: 20″
The previously issued errata for this has been updated.

Also, I’d like to note that I am a lawyer. Which means I follow rules and instructions. So for me to customize is a big leap. And I’d never have ever developed the confidence with Liesl and the Building Block Book. 🙂

So funny because as I stared at the pattern and envisioned what I wanted, I realized that because it is a folded piece, it would be too bulky. So I cut the pattern below the fold line and I spread it like a “bell shaped” sleeve instructions. Because of where it sits on the dropped sleeve, that should do the trick.
On an interesting side note,…[Read more]
