Still sewing Winter coats. Onto Elsa’s in a red wool with purple Duchess satin lining.
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Enjoy sewing your shirt Ellen. I think a smart shirt is lovely on a fellow (and I love sewing them too).

Don’t panic, re the Tea Party dress, Tamara. Trixie is 8 months old and I can just squeeze her into the 0-3 month if she is wearing a disposable.

I finished a vintage coat for Lidia and now I am on to one for Elsa. 1960’s I am guessing, by…[Read more]

I saw a blouse that reminded me of this style in Madewell yesterday. Now I want to make one for myself!
Nicole replied to the topic Pick stitching? in the forum oliver + s: art museum 9 years ago

Is that what that stitching is? Our accountant had a smart new suit on and I noticed it.
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Pick stitching? in the forum oliver + s: art museum 9 years ago

Oh, ok. Well, a pick stitch is basically a backstitch that has lots of space between each stitch–it travels on the back side so you have long floats. (If that sounds like I’m speaking Martian, sorry.) I’ll definitely do a tutorial soon.

The vest looks great! Happy graduation!
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Pick stitching? in the forum oliver + s: art museum 9 years ago

Oh, I’d love to teach you how to do this and I’ve always meant to do a tutorial for it! Let me see if we can find time to do it in the next couple of weeks, ok? Or is that too late? I think I recall an article in Threads magazine years ago about it if you need it sooner. They were pick stitching a back zipper on a dress and adding beads to the…[Read more]

Could you make a pointed tie on sash?
Nicole replied to the topic French seam on gathered sleeve? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

Really lovely.

I made a Carousel dress for Liddy (11),today.

I used sand coloured velvet/uncut cord (not sure what it is) with red topstitching. It has quite a medieval feel to it.

I am sorry Masha.
If it is any comfort, the moonboot offers a lot of support. Jed polished all our timber floors wearing one.

All the best with the birth, I will be thinking of you.

Nicole replied to the topic What do you think? Feedback welcome. in the forum Sewing for Yourself 9 years ago

I love the Gallery so much, I just wish it was a two piece collar. I can see it becoming another Portfolio dress. Hunted down and sort after.

The Maritime is divine, such a slimming and flattering style.

The skirt is so cute, I am concerned how it will look on me as I have a very thick waist and poochy tummy but I love it.

I can see how much…[Read more]
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic What do you think? Feedback welcome. in the forum Sewing for Yourself 9 years ago

Thanks, Sarvi and Cat! Courtney, the skirt is designed to sit at your natural waist, but it’s really a matter of your preference. Just like if you tried things on at a store, you get to decide how you want to wear your clothing. If you prefer it to sit a little lower, that’s up to you. Mine sits at my belly button or slightly lower, yes.

  Thanks Liesl! I was trying to attach a picture, but I don’t think it worked.
Liesl Gibson started the topic What do you think? Feedback welcome. in the forum Sewing for Yourself 9 years ago

Hey all, I asked Todd to create this group so we’d have a place to easily discuss sewing for ourselves. So first question: feedback on the new Liesl + Co patterns? Are these styles you want to sew for yourself?
