Enbee started the topic Mix interlock with jersey? in the forum oliver + s: field trip 9 years ago

I like to turn adult-sized fun graphic tees into new shirts for my little guy using upcycled shirts for the contrasting sleeves. I have a new tee in jersey fabric for the main body, and I happen to have an old shirt of mine in the perfect color for its sleeves. However, my shirt is a fairly stretchy interlock. Think that would cause any issues?…[Read more]

Hopefully someone will post details about where and when the samples might be purchased?

Enbee replied to the topic Bucket Hat in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

I’ve made a bunch of these, and for the very last one, I pinned the life out of the Fabric B cap and attached it while doing the final edgestitch step. It wasn’t perfect, but then I’ve never had great luck getting that edgestitch to look great on both sides of the cap, anyway!

Next time I make this (and it’ll be soon, as my little guy has a real…[Read more]

Oh, I like the idea of a sale on the forums!

Thanks – I’ll pick it up and give it a try!

Enbee started the topic Pants front pocket placement in the forum oliver + s: after-school 9 years ago

Hi, all – I’m thinking about picking this pattern up, so I flipped through the Flickr archives to see what it looks like in various sizes and fabrics. What kept jumping out at me was the placement of the front pocket, or maybe the width of the waistband. The pockets look so low! Is that just my perception, or has anyone had their child complain…[Read more]

Amazon sometimes sells fabric by the bolt.

Enbee replied to the topic Parachute and butterfly available! in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

@needlewoman, I’m still fairly new to making clothes and sewing in general, but a walking foot really reduces the intimidation factor in sewing knits. I have a generic walking foot (cheap on Amazon), and it and my 30 year old, 2nd hand machine (no special stitches) can tackle knit sewing just fine. Add in a double needle for hemming, and I’ve…[Read more]

Thanks, everybody!

@mkhs, @cybele727 – Oops! Yeah, I can see how the title is misleading on a sewing forum!

Hi, all – different forums have different preferences, so I thought I’d check before doing this here. If I have a question that’s related to an old thread, would the moderators rather I bump the old thread or start a new one?

Enbee replied to the topic New here? Introduce yourself! in the forum off topic 9 years ago

/delurk!

Hi, all! After going years without sewing, I dusted off my middle school Home Ec skills in order to sew some clothes for my son. I stumbled across Oliver + S by way of the Bucket Hat free pattern, then again when I decided, for some reason, that my 3 month old needed a trench coat for his Halloween costume. I’ve since picked up a few…[Read more]
