Liesl Gibson started the topic sewing for men in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

As I’m developing some new patterns I’ve been wondering: how many of you sew or would like to sew for the men in your life? And what would you like to sew for them?

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Cotton/nylon blend fabric? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Have you tried the Outdoor Ready series on our blog? As I recall, Ashley had a nice post there about sourcing fabric for purposes like this. I remember that Rose City Textiles was listed as an option, but maybe she mentioned others as well?

Well, it looks like I made a spelling error. So, for catching it, @lightningmcstitch, you have to take the next line:

Thanks, @sewgirl23! I’m glad you’re going to make it, and it’s really good to know that the photos help! Cheers.

Thanks for this, @snoutfair! It’s really helpful to us to know that these are useful to you, and the more feedback we receive the more likely we are to them again in the future. Thanks also for the reminder regarding the elastic; I’ll drop another email to Butterick to see if they can give me a number now!

Interesting, Sarvi! Thanks for the explanation.

Hey, will everyone who followed/follows the sew-along do me a favor and leave a quick note here telling us you made use of it? It will help a lot with deciding whether to do more sew-alongs in the future if we can gauge the level of interest and participation.

Cheers!

What’s May Grey, Sarvi?
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

And that’s a wrap! You’re going to show me your suits, too, right?
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

Hello, everyone. Hope you had a great weekend! Day 4 of the sew-along is up and ready for you…

I can’t decide which is my size
Do I go by my waist or my thighs?
I could measure my head
Todd Gibson replied to the topic spring 2015 patterns – when?? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

You can think of the book that will be out in September as one gigantic, huge Oliver + S pattern. Or a large number of Oliver + S patterns.

But that’s all I’m saying for now….

There is rumoured to be a new book
The cover, it has a good look
But I just can’t decide
If I step up or hide

@justsewit, you could always send her a friendship request. Once it is accepted you’ll be able to send a private message.
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Help with fitting at back please! in the forum liesl + co: bistro dress 9 years ago

Yes, I think @justsewit might be right. It’s difficult to tell from the photos, but you might want to try a swayback adjustment. Or maybe you just need to take in the hips more? It sort of looks like if you pin the hips, especially at the back, to be a little tighter you’ll eliminate the drag lines. It definitely doesn’t need to be looser–overall…[Read more]
