Nicole replied to the topic Late Lunch Tunic – short sleeves? in the forum liesl + co: late lunch tunic 11 years ago

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]

Nicole replied to the topic Step 6 in the forum oliver + s: music box 11 years ago

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

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic How thin is too thin for knits? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 11 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.

First up, decide how you want to launder your garment, pre-wash and stick to that method. If you chose to hand wash (…[Read more]
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Parachute Sweatpants Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 11 years ago

How is this format working for everyone? We thought it would be nice to give the sew-alongs a home where they’ll be easy to find, especially if you have questions about the pattern. Plus, it frees up the blog for other exciting things!
Nicole replied to the topic How to adjust sizes in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 11 years ago

Nicole replied to the topic Sewing with Liberty in the forum off topic 11 years ago

@dubhels2003, do you have a link?
