juliamom2009 started the topic Sketchbook Shorts for Girls – Sizing? in the forum oliver + s: sketchbook 10 years ago

I’m about to enter the dreaded/ugly world of uniform sewing. We have a pretty strict requirement….no sneaking in any cute linings, etc. Navy blue and white. The end.

For those of you who have made the sketchbook shorts for girls, did you use their regular size, or did you size down? They have to be mid-thigh length, but I know my kid will…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Invisible zipper in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

I usually buy long zippers and just cut them to the length I need so I don’t have a big inventory of different lengths. You can simply zigzag over the teeth at the length you want, or you can buy metal stoppers to place at the end of the zipper. If you use a pliers you can also pull out the extra coil, but it can take a little fiddling to do this…[Read more]

Awww, thank you Sandi and Sharon.
I ~finished~ Zara’s (15) skort, hurrah!
So excited about this as I stupidly drafted the pattern to her tiny waist (size 6) instead of her hips (size 10)!

With some careful unpicking and removing some darts I j u s t got enough ease to make it work.

If I had had enough of the lovely grey linen I think I would…[Read more]

Nicole replied to the topic Has anyone added extra booty room? in the forum oliver + s: class picnic 10 years ago

I would wonder about a rugby knit for the main and a woven for the facing Katy….
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I am so glad you got to sew Masha. We are all thinking of you here.

I finished Zara’s shirt and it looks lovely on her. I fiddled around with the fit, taking it in at the high waist, letting it out over her bottom and taking some fullness from the sleeve.

Next up, a grey linen skort, Simplicity 1370.

I find if I carefully stretch the main to match the binding, just a bee’s whisker mind, there are less puckers.
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I will pin her down Britters, I don’t think I have ever so anyone something and received such an ecstatic result.
It is so nice.

Heidi, it’s a pity you are not closer, my mending pile is huge! 😉
