Happy Mother’s Day to you too Nicole! And to everyone!

I went to church with (most) of my family and came home to find the house smelling of something burning. It turned out that the someone left at home (refusing to get out of bed) made a great stack of pancakes with honey and apple and had it ready and waiting for me on my return! Along with a…[Read more]

Well done!

You are kind Heidi.

Happy Mothers Day beautiful people!

I ignored the washing and sewed all day.

Today I traced off the carousel dress and hide and seek patterns in 6-12 month size. I plan to do some assembly line sewing.

Is it important to you to make what you wear? Or are you open to buying something?

My plans have changed a bit as I realize now that I will be taking a train from Penn Station earlyish in the morning, arriving back there lateish in the evening, and won’t have a chance to change in between. Luckily, this friend is as unfussy as they come and I…[Read more]

After making Tildy some dungarees I would like to bump @Helena’s suggestion of a dungarees/overalls/romper/playsuit pattern.

I love the new format of the little dotted lines indicating where to cut and also the indication of which pages to print for the view you need. Ts a time and paper saving idea that’s genius!

@DarcyStruble there was some discussion of how it could be done starting on this thread page: http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/your-wish-list/page/22
I fully intend to give this a go. I haven’t done it before but I think I’ve got my head around how it should work. I can do it for my next Oliver + S blog post. But that could mean about…[Read more]
