cybele727 replied to the topic Sewing for a seven year old in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
I was going to suggest the hopscotch. You can make a shirt or dress. You can color block. My almost 6 year old loves the two I just made. She wants them as nightgowns so comfy.
But yes input it key. It is their ownership of the garment. But I limit choices. I present an either or Or best of 3.

What a stunning color of a muslin. I want a dress in that color. And the back was a lovely fit. I can’t wait to see the dress!
Yes, I need the book!
I just finished a hopscotch. One was done except hems. I think I will probably never hem a knit again and will always lettuce them. So easy. I do it a touch differently than the tutorial.…[Read more]

Wow. Everyone sounds super busy. I wish I had the time to see more. I have 3 hopscotch dresses in various states. And a bunch of in a clutch too. I really need to get the book for the messenger bag.
Today I am home with the sick- not really sick daughter. She broke out in a rash last night. Since so many childhood diseases start this way,…[Read more]

Would a wool jersey work? Or something like this:

I have a sweater of similar cut as this coat that my mother covets. I’d love to make it in a sweater or lighter jersey so it can be worn indoors during the winter. It gets cold here in the Northeastern US.

I found it plenty for the size 5 and 6. My girl has a decent sized noggin and she’s no fan of the tight neck hole.

I’m sold! I will wash and dry my rayon!

cybele727 started the topic Sewing with Rayon- Fabric Care in the forum off topic 9 years ago
Hello everyone:
When sewing with Rayon what do you do?
Do you pre-wash?
Do you pre-wash only if you intend to wash?
Do you intend to dry clean rayon?
Can you/should you wash rayon?
How do you handle it??

I think @lightningmcstitch will do the round up. Where is it most easily searchable for a tag??

Hi All,

Details:
Reveal date: Feburary 5, 2016 Because end of year craziness and you have PLENTY of time to brainstorm, plan, and execute.
“Rules”: Mash-up one or more O +S pattern. Because we are so “rule” bound over here! 🙂
FAQ: Can I use non O+S? Sure… but the idea is that it is…[Read more]

@withloveheidi-
Mash up- must be substantially one or more oliver and s patterns?
So other patterns would be ok.
I mean I have a dress from McCalls with jumprope pockets. That’s not much of and O + s pattern mash up. 🙂
But I am open to group rule!

Mash-up challenge:
“Reveal date”: 2/5/16?
Flickr tag: “oliverandsmashup” ?Any other rules/parameters?
Although we want something new, should we go back and tag old stuff, like my jumprope with library sleeves, because so many of us have mashed up without thinking of it that way?
Once we set them up, I will start a new thread!

cybele727 replied to the topic Monochrome Project- B&W in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
Pattern mash-up sounds quite challenging. I know that when I did the jumprope and had to mash up Library dress sleeves with the jumprope sleeve head I was quite satisfied when it turned out loverly.
I do know that that type of work takes more time, and we are approaching the holiday hectic season… at least here in the states, you have…[Read more]

Color I would never sew in is a great challenge! I’m always eyeing my palette for repetition and freshening.

Oh Reeni!
Just post to Flickr with #oliverandsmonochrome.
We’d love to see it no matter the date!
