Nicole replied to the topic Smocking in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago

@FrancesSuzanne, I did a lot but it was pretty simple and quick.
I love silk thread.

Let me know regarding the mags, no hurry, I have a huge storage area.
Frances Suzanne replied to the topic Smocking in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago

Oh my, girl…..you’ve probably sewn more with smocking than the two of us have combined!!! We LOVE AS&E, and have some of the magazines. We might be interested to take some off your hands :)…but would have to check our stash first! Thanks for the offer…
Nicole started the topic Smocking in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago

I feel a bit of a fraud here 🙂 I was heavily into smocking and embroidery in the late 90’s and early 00’s but my style has changed somewhat.
My claim to fame is I grew up in the town that Country Bumpkin was started and went to school with Margie Bauer and Lib Rayner’s daughters (the clever sisters who’s started A S&E).

Hugo (18) had smocked…[Read more]

Loving this discussion – about heirloom techniques and technology!!! We hope to crosshatch without filler….but since we’ve yet to do it, that is yet to be determined.

@cybele27 EXCELLENT IDEA on the garden party for the preteen ladies!

Lotta, your food sounds so amazing!

I made this soup last week, https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143880130031/, I substituted light sour cream and used extra garlic.
Five hungry little Keller’s knocked off a double batch for tea.

A new year means new patterns for me.
Last year’s are all looking twee
I just have to buy more….
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 11 years ago

I have been working my way through the mending pile, wearing my hair shirt. 😉

I really hope to start a Music Class blouse for Liddy today. sigh….

Nicole replied to the topic Full bust adjustment in the forum liesl + co: woodland stroll cape 11 years ago

*I have not made this* but I have seen lots of different versions on lots of body shapes. I think it has enough ease not to need a FBA.

I am very happy to be corrected 🙂
Nicole replied to the topic Finishing a lace edge? in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 11 years ago

This is definitely Melanie’s field, @Willanna. I have a blog post here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143875948321/ in which I underlined velvet spotted tulle.

However, I would use this method http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/added-a-skirt-lining-how-do-i-sew-the-zipper for the lining.

Good luck!

@cybele727 …. can’t do the link or attachment either.
Maybe we should ask @FrancesSuzanne to do tips on heirloom sewing AND internet stuff. One of them is a graphic designer and can rock the web!
cybele727 replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago

@Deb
I still can’t figure out how to insert a link or an attachment of correct size.

I am like magneto at times. I just approach it and it doesn’t work.
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Fit on Sunday Brunch in the forum oliver + s: sunday brunch 11 years ago

I’d call it more of a blazer than a jacket, per se. You probably wouldn’t be able to layer a sweater under it, but you could wear it over a light blouse or T-shirt.
justsewit replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago

Don’t worry Deb, I’ve only just learned how to do it – really savvy me!

What about a pintucked feature down the side of a pair of trousers?
Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago

@cybele727
When I click either link or reply nothing happens.
I truly think the internet is part voodoo, part magic and for me, most of what I try to do is jinxed 🙂
cybele727 replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago

Deb,
Maybe it is just me, but when I click on that link, I am told I don’t have access to that account. I think you posted a link that is for the author of a page, and since the blog id is a number, we can’t search for the blog…..
Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago

Dang… my last post entry was directed to Frances/Suzanne but the link didn’t appear. Ooops.
Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago

The hem tucks I was referring to are also called growth tucks. I use that method every chance and a tute is here:https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5163707322010726966#editor/target=post;postID=5881343318468516870;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=100;src=postname

Tucks on the garden party dress. That bodice is perfect for that. Some awesome box pleats or narrow pintucks.

I think for the preteen girls it is a really flattering top because it can disguise new “growth” that they might not yet be comfortable with.
cybele727 replied to the topic Most and Least Worn O+S Outfit? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 11 years ago

Gigi’s most worn was a pair of afterschool pants. Teal baby corduroy embroidered with hot pink roses.

Least worn/loved? Book report dress.
