Exciting! Which will release first, O+S or L+C?

We’re waiting from confirmation from the printer yet about when everything will be ready, but we’re tentatively planning on the second week in September. We’re at that point in the process where it’s mostly up to how fast the trucks can move back and forth across the country.

May I ask, what have you tried and what has been recommended to you by the repair person?

I have a Janome and I know that even though mine doesn’t pop, when the machine has come undone somewhere in the threading, it won’t chain well. Sometimes it kicks itself out of a hook somewhere and you wonder how the heck it happens but then I just have to…[Read more]

Shouldn’t be long now. It is usually around mid September to mid October.

@dubhels2003 I just posted an answer for you on the lisette forum. I hope its helpful.

@nzsewist I haven’t really decided as yet. I might make a butterfly skirt or pair of sailboat pants but I am thinking of doing separates anyway in order to mix and match with other pieces in her wardrobe. I’d like to do a couple of dresses also but it is all down to how much time I have.

I have a backlog of things being worked on at the moment. I have a white class picnic top awaiting hems to be sewn a d elastic to be put in. I have a family reunion dress and puppet show dress both in floral lawn of different prints waiting for their sides to be sewn as the sleeve have only just been attached. I have two pairs of jeans to complete…[Read more]

Its cute fabric. Do you have ideas as to how you are going to use it?

I am in the process of making a white class picnic blouse that believe it or not was cut and started before the challenge was mentioned. I am tossing up what to team it with.

May I ask if we can (at some stage) do the same challenge but for the big people too? We could use the…[Read more]

@dubhels2003 a dress but not a dressup? I am immediately thinking that if your little one is turning three and is obsessed by Alice, why not make her an Alice costume? Or does she have one already? Vothgirl did the same for her miss E who turned three recently – her’s was sleeping beauty I think.

Do you have enough of the Alice liberty to use…[Read more]

Personally, I love grey so much I consider it a “colour above all others”. But it’s not really, is it. Certainly fits on the monochrome spectrum. After all a black and white image is really variations of grey! I stuck with black and white only for my blog post, but only because i could lose myself in the greys badly!
Here’s my Pinterest board…[Read more]

Could you classify silver as part of the spectrum? Do you think it would pass as a sparkly grey?

Could you classify silver as part of the spectrum?

Would really like to know because I have an idea involving silver.

Thanks @cybele727 I was thinking it needed it’s own thread.
I’ll have a blog post up soonish for son inspiration and with my (first) monochrome creation.
If you use Flickr tags or instagram then tag with #oliverandsmonochrome then we might have a round up of projects at the end.
I found some great pics on pinterest and started a board.

Oh gosh I am SUCH a legend! I am in the middle of constructing the most gorgeous family reunion dress for Chloë Jayne Elise and am up to attaching the neck facing. This is the bonza moment when one realises the beautifully stitched in the ditch tab is (oh no!) too high!

Off to unpick and have another go – and read the instructions!

Not quite summer vacation time, just a mid semester break.

I’m in too but as yet undecided – I think I shall be mysterious! Yah! Likely story! It is still to be decided upon.

We could turn it toward the recital topic though by incorporating the music theme into it maybe? Or we could one just for that …. maybe?

That will give us a bit of time to sort out something. The final week of September is busy for me so the week before would be more convenient. I would say this is an anytime sew along though it would be good to sew along with everyone else.
