Liesl Gibson replied to the topic I *really* want to sew a tent/trapeze dress — which Liesl + Co or Lisette?? in the forum Sewing for Yourself 10 years ago

That’s a cute dress! I love Rachel Comey’s designs.

It’s difficult to see the details in the photos, but I’d tend to start with the Gallery Tunic if I was doing it. It’s the closest silhouette to this dress, but you’ll still need to do some work to get the right look. I hope it works and you keep us posted on your progress!
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Making a sleeveless gallery tunic in the forum liesl + co: gallery tunic + dress 10 years ago

Typically a sleeveless pattern has a much higher armhole than a pattern with sleeves, so you’ll want to raise the armhole when you try this. You’ll probably also need to do a little work to eliminate gaping at the armhole, so I’d definitely recommend making a muslin if you’re going to try this. But if the pattern fits properly across the chest you…[Read more]

I felt loved! 😉

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….
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Waistband too short in the forum liesl + co: city stroll wrap skirt 10 years ago

Depending on your fabric, you may need to ease in the waist a bit to fit the waistband. To do this, you would just add a gathering stitch to the top edge of the skirt and pull up on the thread tails to cinch up the fabric a bit. Then you’ll just smooth the fabric so you don’t have any puckers before sewing it. Does that make sense?

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]

Still sewing Winter coats. Onto Elsa’s in a red wool with purple Duchess satin lining.

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]

Has anybody made this? I usually make an 8 plus 3/4 in FBA in the woven patterns. Could I get away with a straight 8 in a knit?

I saw a blouse that reminded me of this style in Madewell yesterday. Now I want to make one for myself!
Sarvi replied to the topic Pick stitching? in the forum oliver + s: art museum 10 years ago

I found this video from Threads that shows it very nicely: http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/32606/video-how-to-sew-a-pickstitch
Sarvi replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Ellen, just think how easy it will be to ease things — sleeves, hems — with all those long seams. A nice break from hemming size 0-3m sleeves with tweezers 🙂

I am prancy with excitement over the Gallery tunic and am working on the FBA while watching an interesting documentary by Ric Burns (who knew there were two of them!) about NY.
