Nicole replied to the topic Has anyone paired the B6183 top with the Everyday Skirt? in the forum liesl + co: everyday skirt 9 years ago
I think if you got a good fit of your bust /waist it could look lovely. I am not tall or willowy so avoid too much ‘floatiness’. I did wear the skirt with the Weekend blouse but I had good bust/under bust definition.
This skirt sat really low on me, with looser tops I felt a bit ‘messy in the middle’.
I am not sure I am being much help…sorry. -

I wore my Everyday skirt through out my last pregnancy with a fitted black tee. I quite liked that silhouette.

You’ll hand stitch the lining to the zipper in one of the final steps.
If you read the last steps it should be mentioned there. Meanwhile, just follow the instructions and it will all come together beautifully. -

PS Interface the collar and facings as normal as well as the extra at the button holes.

Ha ha ha @Enbee, it gave me a good laugh.
I follow the rule you can make most woven patterns with knits (if you take great care) but not the other way.
I would indeed interface the button holes and where you sew the buttons (an extra square where they would go) and handle the fabric gently when sewing. Stay stitching the neck will be very…[Read more]

@thejennigirl How lovely you are.
As a girl I was very tiny but full busted and it was hard to find nice clothes.
You are correct, my Twins are quite a different size. They have full derrieres but are very small chested. They ‘out grew’ O+S pattern before they ‘grew out’ of the size range, IYKWIM?May I suggest the Liesl+Co Bento tee? I made the…[Read more]

Hi Ann, I found this and it seems like it might be useful:

Nicole replied to the topic Flickr troubles? in the forum off topic 9 years ago
@enbee I have found they change instantly. If one of my photos get tagged with one of those explore ‘awards’ I make the photo ‘private’ (which gets rid of the 50 random favourites and odd comments) and then change it back to public.

mcholley1 started the topic Lining a jacket in the forum off topic 9 years ago
So unfortunatly I’m sewing a non Oliver S pattern. I’m making a blazer. The pattern calls for a half lining but I plan to extend it full length. The lining has a pleat at the top to add ease. My question is do I extend the pleat down to the hem or do I blend it out as it extends down to the hem?
Thanks to anyone that has experience here.

Nicole replied to the topic Flickr troubles? in the forum off topic 9 years ago
@enbee I can only add my story. If I upload photos, privately, they seem to stay that way, even after I change the settings, for a period of time.
If I want a photo to be public, I upload it publicly.
Flickr can be a bit temperamental.
I am sorry not to be more help.

Masha Richart replied to the topic Increasing rise as well as length? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
I have had to do this a lot. It sounds like my daughter is built similarly to your son – if I was going by the size chart she would wear a 2 with the length of a 7! I was given a bit of advice by Liesl a couple years ago, though, to only size down the width a couple sizes from the length, to preserve proportions. I find that this works for…[Read more]
