Looks terrifc Nicole and I am so glad she is living in it as that means it was worth the trouble of sewing it for her (not that it would be trouble at all).

I have a parachute polo cut out of city weekend interlock that I want to sew this weekend. I have already made a pair of parachute pants and they are so cute and very worthy of two hours at…[Read more]

@EllenMCM it was a really good sew.
I used the Lisette blog sew-a-long method and bagged the lining. I had started with the paper pattern but got stuck on the zipper insertion. The paper pattern is incorrect.
Once I went to the blog I zoomed along.
It was 6 hours sewing time and I altered the waist for Zara (15). I think it would be good to alter…[Read more]

I was able to cut a Roller skate tunic size ten out of one yard this afternoon:)

Thanks so much Heidi for sharing these lists! The number of Oliver + S items that can be made from one yard of fabric is impressive!

Me too. All the wrong size but now I want to make a pink finewale cord Apple Picking dress!

I love what this clever girl has done

The elegant colours with the white hem and white pocket tops. Just lovely!

Isn’t he divine! And the wedding photos look wonderful too!

Awesome Heidi. You are a brick!

I have not made this gorgeous dress with the sleeves but I will try and help. My apologies if I am not much use.

When the sleeves are cut, you should have two, mirrored, if you placed your pattern on the fabric, double layered, right sides together.

The notches would be invaluable here so that you can determine front and back.

If it was me, I…[Read more]

Janice, I used the size that their measurements corresponded to. It worked out well!;)

When fitting jeans, I sew the crotch seam first and then fit the side seams. I was given the tip from a clothing designer, it works really well.
I would wonder if the inseam may need a little pinched out.

They are great shorts. I made Hugo (17) five pairs with an added fly and he wore them until last summer and now the Twins (15) wear them. I…[Read more]

Julia has that same derriere going on! So I will go by hip size – I have in my mind a picture of the way I’d like them to fit; we’ll see if I can make it work!

Lucky girl, I was eyeing a few off my I don’t need them, just want them!

Lovely photos Lotta, thank you!.

I didn’t Janice, but my girls have very curvy derrières.
I would make the size that corresponds to her hips and then taper the leg (inner and outseam)
