I was thinking about this thread this morning while I was blocking something. It’s this pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/arlo

and it asks you to block to a schematic. I was thinking that there are only a few ways for a garment to not fit. One, it’s poorly designed. Same as with sewing patterns — it asks for too few inches for a…[Read more]

Oh honey — that is a whole, whole lot of no fun at all. Wishing you a lot of courage and a few moments somewhere, somehow, for yourself. All I can say is that this too shall pass.

Nicole replied to the topic Best O +S pattern to use to make jeans? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 11 years ago

Awww, thank you Melani and Shelley.
I agree, I think denim maketh the jeans, not just the pattern.

That’s such a fun and pretty yarn!

Linda is spot on. The only thing I would add is that some yarns are inherently very firm and some grow/bloom in counterintuitive way so also block your swatch. Even a half or a third of a stitch off (in width — row gauge is better handled in inches, I think) can add up so much more quickly than it seems it should.

I’ve been looking for notchers like that but have had trouble finding any in my part of the world. Maybe it’s an issue of translation – I have no idea what they would be called in Swedish.

If O+S were to carry them I would pick up a pair in no time!

Nicole replied to the topic placement of the waist trim in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 11 years ago

Perhaps into the dress but have it hidden inside the lining?
Sorry , on my phone
Nicole replied to the topic placement of the waist trim in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 11 years ago

Will these help?
Nicole replied to the topic placement of the waist trim in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 11 years ago

I know what I do but I am not sure what it is called….

I stitch a small stitch into the sash ( 2mm) and that goes to a longer running stitch in the dress lining (1 cm), pulling so it is firm but does not pucker.

I will see if I can find a picture for you.
