Now there’s only 1 Oliver+S skirt pattern left for us to sew! This week we sewed up the Badminton Skort and Dress. Yep, another layering duo. We added sleeves to the dress, and we’d love to know what you think of them. And NOW it’s the last week to link up your own Oliver+S sewing creations and enter the Rafflecopter giveaway. Because we all…[Read more]

I felt loved! 😉

@motherof5 same thing happened to me! And when I try to mark them ‘read’ or delete, it won’t let me. Strange…

Well, that was a bit weird.
I just received six random notification emails, some were messages and some were thread comments, all from months back.
Spooky….

More babies in the Flickr pool, and twins! I love it, congratulations @jax.

Very happy to help. 🙂

I have messaged you.

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!

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]

Fitting isn’t the issue really, just my fabric choice.

I managed to fix up the piping sewing on the skirt and fuse the interfacing to the respective parts and then the baby woke up (after less than half an hour in bed and to the noise of the truck). So it has been a non eventful and non productive day so far. The kids are due home so I am hoping…[Read more]

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]

Thankyou Sarvi for uploading the link. I could actually work it successfully that time instead of through google search like I did before.

I can hear the “aaah’s” now! Looking forward to seeing all the pickstitching that will follow.

I found this video from Threads that shows it very nicely: http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/32606/video-how-to-sew-a-pickstitch
