I have messaged you.
Sarvi replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Nicole, I’m eagerly awaiting the big reveal of the coat!

I had a bit of time on my hands last night while waiting for dough to rise, so I sat down with a cut Maritime and started hand stitching it with button thread, Chaninesque. Not doing the embellishments, just basic construction and tacking down the seams. Going to try it on and then see…[Read more]

THanks Robin!
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Plaid match up in the forum oliver + s: forest path 10 years ago

There are three places it would be nice to have plaid match, but unless you alter the pattern or are very lucky you’ll probably only manage two out of three.
The 3 areas are: Horizontally across the two front panels. That is to say, if you follow a line of plaid across the body from left to right it should match.
2: Vertically across the front…[Read more]

Still sewing Winter coats. Onto Elsa’s in a red wool with purple Duchess satin lining.

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]

Has anybody made this? I usually make an 8 plus 3/4 in FBA in the woven patterns. Could I get away with a straight 8 in a knit?

Good morning! For those of you who are following along with this week’s sew-along, day 2 is now up 🙂

I found this video from Threads that shows it very nicely: http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/32606/video-how-to-sew-a-pickstitch
Sarvi replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Ellen, just think how easy it will be to ease things — sleeves, hems — with all those long seams. A nice break from hemming size 0-3m sleeves with tweezers 🙂

I am prancy with excitement over the Gallery tunic and am working on the FBA while watching an interesting documentary by Ric Burns (who knew there were two of them!) about NY.

Is that what that stitching is? Our accountant had a smart new suit on and I noticed it.
mcholley1 replied to the topic Pick stitching? in the forum oliver + s: art museum 10 years ago

So it goes all the way through both layers?
mcholley1 replied to the topic Pick stitching? in the forum oliver + s: art museum 10 years ago

It would be too late for this one…it is for preschool graduation. But, I’m planning another in a flax linen for a wedding mid-June and would LOVE to know how before then! YES PLEASE!!

I ended up under-stitching everywhere I could reach on this one, and I think it is going to work out fine. Now to pick buttons and a shorts pattern. I’m on…[Read more]

I’m working on a vest and have decided that edge stitching with my machine gives a more casual vibe than I’m going for. However, it annoys me greatly when the lining rolls out on the edge. So, I thought about pick stitching like on men’s suits. Does anyone know of any tutorials or done this before? Is it just a running stitch?

Who’s sewing the Butterfly Blouse with us this week? If you’d like some inspiration for fabrics for this project, have a peek over at the Butterfly Blouse + Skirt Round-up where you’ll see many versions sewn up in both the ruffle and cap sleeves.

Here is the daily plan for the Butterfly Blouse sew-along:
