Working with knit fabrics can be intimidating for adults, but that didn’t scare Jessika off from introducing a knit pattern to some of her youngest students. She is here to explain why a pattern intended for knits is the perfect starter project for the beginning garment sewist.

It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for this week’s edition of Weekend Links.

Pattern adjustments can feel daunting, but the more you do them, the easier it gets. Masha shares her fitting adjustments, and how long it took her to make them, for a Gelato Blouse she sewed for herself.

In this week’s Sewing Small Talk, Liesl asks about favorite fashion designers. Do you have one? Who?

Elisabeth stops by to share fitting details and her favorite part of sewing the new Saint-Germain Wrap Dress pattern.

Liesl is here today with her first Weekend Links post for the month of February.

Announcing a sew-along for the Saint-Germain Wrap Dress, February 17-21! Grab your pattern and supplies, and meet us back here in a couple of weeks to get started on the perfect dress to greet spring.

In this week’s sewing small talk, Liesl asks if you have ever upcycled a garment.

We have recently re-released another selection of patterns from Liesl’s first book, Oliver + S Little Things to Sew, as digital styles. We’re happy to make these items available again if you weren’t able to get a copy of the book before it went out of print.

Claire sewed up bespoke wedding outfits for her children using two of our patterns, including one that you wouldn’t expect!

In this week’s sewing small talk, what TV or film inspires you with its use of fashion?

How many ways can you think of to style a shirtdress? Claire is here to show you seven different ways to wear her new dress sewn from our Camp Shirt + Dress pattern.
