I am so sorry, I can’t see the problem.
Does the underarm side seam match up?
Nicole replied to the topic Late Lunch Tunic – short sleeves? in the forum liesl + co: late lunch tunic 10 years ago

I think your fabric choice is the key to that decision.
Both sew up beautifully in a draping fabric (wool, silk) but I think the Late Lunch is a bee’s whisker more flattering in a firmer woven (linen, chambray)

I wonder if the collar doesn’t look a bit snappier in a woven too.

Just my opinion, of course.

That’s a great idea, Brittney! That way you get the reminder that it’s been updated but it all stays in one place. Thanks for the suggestion. And I hope the flatlock works out! I think it’s nice to have that seam stitched down somehow, and the straight stitch works but the flatlock is fancier!
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Parachute Sweatpants Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 10 years ago

Yes, I was wondering about that myself. Rachel (@nestfullofeggs), maybe it’s better to add a new post for each day of the sew-along? I think the updates get lost otherwise. In other words, maybe each day of the sew-along should be a reply to the post instead of modifying the original post? Do you think that would be better, @georgeandizzy?

Nicole replied to the topic Long sleeves? in the forum oliver + s: garden party 10 years ago

I have been trying to answer but had locked myself out!

I would try laying one sleeve over the other.

I love making mens shirts Ellen.

Nearly finished Beatrix’s sewing turn and then on to Matilda.

Time to glue the Carnival PDF together.

Nicole replied to the topic Late Lunch Tunic – short sleeves? in the forum liesl + co: late lunch tunic 10 years ago

It is a good question. The sleeve is kimono style and on a bias of sorts.

I think I would shorten by measuring from the sleeve cuff back, taking equal amounts from the sleeve front and the sleeve back. I would suggest leaving then sleeve a little longer then you anticipate too. You can always cut more off.

The hem on this sleeve behaves a little…[Read more]

Reading between the lines… the bodice buttons at the back so the front and the back will not be the same….
Is this the problem?

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic How thin is too thin for knits? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Even with the right fiber content, different knit qualities will feel and drape differently, so there’s no simple answer to this. Unfortunately. You really just have to feel them!

I made a banner for mine Jenny. My chaps just cut felt and glued it on.

Nicole replied to the topic Garden Party Front Yoke in the forum oliver + s: garden party 10 years ago

Sometimes you can lose some seam allowance if the seam is not perfectly flat. Perhaps try dampening in and rolling it under your fingers.
Is the the step you are referring too?
