your makes with our patterns

You have busy sewing these past several months and we wanted to highlight some your creations here today. You’ll find lots of examples to inspire your creativity and to help keep your sewing fresh. Isn’t if fun seeing the fabric other people select for sewing different patterns?

Oliver + S creations

Let’s start out with Rachel’s first Oliver + S creation. She’s an heirloom sewer and smocker at heart. She wanted to try to add smocking to the Hide-and-Seek dress, which was an experiment, with fabric she had left over from another project. The smocking is gorgeous and very well done. For more smocking inspiration, be sure to check out our Smocked Dress Round-up and our Smocked Pocket tutorial.

  2. Those Henley t-shirts are brilliant! And I’m reminded by that beautiful dress that every summer I intend to make the Cinema Dress, yet I never seem to get to it. This summer for sure!
