Lightning McStitch started the topic Finished waist too small in the forum liesl + co: girl friday culottes 11 years ago
I thought I’d start a new post for my problem, so it didn’t get confused with the opposite problem previously reported in another thread. I believe @Ejensewchat has had the same problem (unsure of which size she was sewing)
I’ve made the size 14 Girl Friday culottes and the finished waist has turned out about 3 inches smaller than intended.

Please, please don’t feel bad. You could not have put your question in a more apologetic or humble way. I really felt for you but I had no answer for your predicament.

Our school is tiny (only 130 students) but I am very proud to share that my son, Hugo, won the Student of the Year award last night, at our Presentation Night.
He made a brilliant off-the-cuff speech, so very very proud of him.

I can feel your frustration but your over riding love for the pattern.
My special friend Deb gave me the tip of three rows of gathers to help smooth and ease a sleeve cap. I wonder if that may help here? -
Nicole replied to the topic Fabric shelf life in the forum off topic 11 years ago
I think there are a lot of variables. I have some knit that is easily 20 years old and fine!
Wash it and give the fabric a good stretch, if it doesn’t recover its shape it has probably had its day.

Oooh, looking at the size chart you may be pushing it… but since you already have it cut, I would chance it.
Maybe do a narrower side seam? -

Nicole replied to the topic Odd placement of notches in the forum oliver + s: book report 11 years ago
Becky, I checked out my notes on this pattern and I have made the large size and the small and I have not made mention of any discrepancies.
I am sorry not to be more help. -
Nicole replied to the topic Lace trim in the forum oliver + s: sleepover 11 years ago
I am happy to share, I was given the contents of a drapery section of a small country shop. It posts very cheaply.
Let me know what you are after and I will see what I have. -

They shrunk in the wash
