Just got patterns for Maritime Top and Gallery Tunic. At first glance I can say the instructions look to be SO much clearer than other commercial patterns I have tried (with failure). I would appreciate any and all tips on adjusting patterns, particularly in the “armscye” area(had to look that one up). Lots of info on fitting for large busts…[Read more]

I love the maritime top – I wear knits most of the time, and I really like the bateau neckline of that top. Also I’m obsessed with stripes.
I also really like the gallery tunic. It reminds me of the Tova top, which I just made a few versions of and which turned out pretty well. The gallery top has a curved hem, though, which I’m really…[Read more]

I received my city stroll skirt in the mail. It made me so happy to have my actual hands on an actual piece of tissue that I can actually use right away! Just so everyone knows – it is the same high quality production we know from the Oliver + S patterns.

First…YAY Team Paper!!! I loathe PDFs and am so happy to be able to buy paper patterns!

I was lucky enough to be a tester for the skirt. I’m only 5’2″ and the skirt is a good length for me. It is a really fun, quick, and easy sew for anyone that is wondering about that. It does feel a little “open” when I wear it. However, I wear a pencil…[Read more]

I am still waiting for my mother to return from States to get hold of my Lisette patterns, so those would keep me busy for a while! However I would love to try the gallery top, it looks really comfortable. It’s my favorite from the new releases. I would love to try the skirt as well, I love the style. Maybe blue chambray.
I don’t get knits easily,…[Read more]

I absolutely love my gallery tunic, but I have the same reservations on the dress length. I love the tunic with skinny pants and shorts to balance out the loose ness. There are very good instructions on full bust adjustments.

The city stroll skirt is awesome. It’s fun to be a little short. Admittedly, I got to test it and wore it all winter long…[Read more]

I like all of the patterns. I’m not in a hurry to make any of them though. The maritime is a cute classic style, but I really like it in stripes, however I cannot wear stripes. They make me look wider. The skirt is very cute, but it looks too short for my lifestyle. I’m 5’7″ and I teach so I kind of need to move around a bit. Up and down off…[Read more]
