I have a pair of Layette pants and a bodysuit pinned to some Lisette lisette ready to make into pyjamas for baby Chloe. Both are size 0-3 months.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago@FrancesSuzanne that sounds very exciting – proof that great minds are very much thinking alike here!
So how are you going to do them? Twin needle? Folded? Please not corded (I don’t know if this will work with a crosshatch). I haven’t done the crosshatch either but I am intrigued and can’t wait for all to be revealed.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago@Deb Yes, tucks on the lullaby layette would be super sweet!! Don’t you want to do the math for US?? @withloveheidi Growth tucks = GENIUS!!! Must remember that… @justsewit Sewing crosshatched tucks are in our near future :). We’ve not attempted these yet, so wish us luck!

This is a fun thread! Thanks for starting it, Nicole.:)
Hands down, the most worn O+S item in our house:

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years agoI have always thought the yoke on the playdate dress would lend itself well to pintucks sewn in a crosshatch design …. but then it lends itself well to all sorts of methods.
You could use tucks on the picnic top instead of gathers to see how that would work. Or make a feature panel on the library dress.
Deb, are you sure you don’t know how to…[Read more]

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years agoWhenever possible, I use the tucked hem method on O+S patterns. On occasion, I’ve made 2 tucks on the hem and added embroidery on one of the tucks.
I’d like to see pin tucks on the Lullaby (onesie). You could figure out how much width to add to the front pieces saving me the effort (LOL!) because as you know my sewing room is in dispose.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years agoHi all! We’ve got an upcoming post over on the O+S blog about using the “heirloom technique” of tucks in Oliver and S Patterns. Not the ones that already have them….like the Family Reunion or Music Class…but thinking out of the box a bit more. Anyway, we’ve selected 2 O+S patterns to incorporate tucks within. QUESTION: Which patterns would you…[Read more]

Sarvi posted an update in the group
Cooking and Baking 11 years agoMy stepmom got me a CostCo gift card for Christmas. This might sound like a weird gift, but actually, I loved it. There certain things I’m weirdly stingy about, like Swiffers and Magic Erasers. I now have a lifetime supply of those. I did sneak in a few non-practical items, like an ENORMOUS bag of shelled pistachios. As I discovered the last time…[Read more]

Such an interesting topic. What is it about certain garments that gets them so much wear, and others so little? Fabric is a big part of it, as mentioned above. I made an After School top in a very light cream cotton and piped the top — the body of it was so light that the shirt became top heavy and was always skewing off one shoulder. Then I made…[Read more]

My sweet Liddy turned 11 today and I made her a red sunhat, at her request.
It was the Sunkissed sunhat but I did go all LTTS bucket hat on the construction. -

Great topic Nicole! I think my most worn items would be all the Class Picnic blouses I’ve made. Not only does my little fusspot love the style, they seem to fit for years and then get passed on to my niece who wears them for years. Great for summer but equally good layered for cooler months. My least worn item would have been the Pinwheel dress…[Read more]

I thought hard about this one, cause it’s a great question – then, I realized that the answer was right in front of me – 100% definitely, the most worn and least worn are from the same pattern – my daughter has worn these pajama bottoms probably about 5 days out of 7 – they are now half-way up her shins, yet she still wears them. The flannel is…[Read more]

Welcome back Becky, I hope the unpacking goes well.
I finished Tildy’s Field Trip outfit. Huge success, my girly girl loves her velvet farm trousers.
Next up a knit Music Class blouse and knit Lunch Box culottes for a sneaky school uniform for Liddy.
