@dubhels2003 You got your wish! She’s a Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

I think the Diana-part was a given, more or less. I’m a Charlotte myself (well, Charlotta to be honest, but close enough) and I don’t mind.

I made a banner for mine Jenny. My chaps just cut felt and glued it on.

Nicole replied to the topic Garden Party Front Yoke in the forum oliver + s: garden party 11 years ago

Sometimes you can lose some seam allowance if the seam is not perfectly flat. Perhaps try dampening in and rolling it under your fingers.
Is the the step you are referring too?

Nicole replied to the topic Sewing Library Dress with vintage silk in the forum oliver + s: library 11 years ago

Another that has not sewn the Library dress but I have made many outfit from for my children.

I adore sewing the stiffer silks, they are easy to handle and sew well.

First up, decide how you want to launder your garment, pre-wash and stick to that method. If you chose to hand wash (…[Read more]

How is this format working for everyone? We thought it would be nice to give the sew-alongs a home where they’ll be easy to find, especially if you have questions about the pattern. Plus, it frees up the blog for other exciting things!

And agree with Cat75 – good point about crotch length
Nicole replied to the topic How to adjust sizes in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 11 years ago

I concur
I over altered the Field Trip cargoes for my daughter and lost a lot of hip room , they are okay but it did spoil the patten some what
I did lengthen the Art Museum trousers for my tall skinny girl very successfully adding length to the waist and the ankle
( I just checked , size 7 with a length of 12)
I guess as long as the hips are…[Read more]
beachmom replied to the topic How thin is too thin for knits? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 11 years ago

I’m like Masha…I prefer cotton/lycra knits when I sew for the kids. It’s relatively easy to work with and seems to hold up well. My personal rule of thumb is to use 8-10 oz. weight fabrics for tops and dresses. 🙂

Nicole replied to the topic Sewing with Liberty in the forum off topic 11 years ago

@dubhels2003, do you have a link?
I wonder if it is the place mine comes from. I buy ‘seconds’ for the children’s sewing and the flaws are negligible.

Thank you!

My pleasure @Cheri, I look forward to your beautiful creation.

Hey all, I just sewed my first entredeux and was SHOCKED at how easy it was! I’ll do a little tutorial for the Butterfly Dress sew-along. I was thinking I’d do a little pintucking tutorial, too, using a double needle and a pintucking foot. All these new (to me) techniques! Very fun, and so much simpler than I expected.

  What? You are kidding right? They are so simple you are right but you know I thought the same when I first tried them. They are such pretty techniques. I am very glad there are tutorials coming about them all. But, I thought the butterfly was a top?
- Liesl Gibson replied 11 years ago
  
  Ack, yes, the Butterfly Top! No idea why I said dress. In any case, I love these techniques.
