Tamara

I’m due late May – just about nine weeks left. The time is just speeding by. I am impressed with your ability to sew post-baby, Tamara. I am expecting not to have any time to do so in the first few months at least!

Third-trimester insomnia has kicked in. I crept out of bed at 11:30 and spent an hour and a half sewing a teeny Geranium dress for my sister-in-law’s baby-girl-due-in-July. Unsure how I want to trim it, though, so I am heading back to bed. If anyone is around, feel free to take a peek and give me a suggestion! Three photos, set starts here:…[Read more]

I assume double-faced gauze is the same as double gauze, but as I’ve never bought one of the fabrics labeled the latter I can’t confirm. The trouble with it is that although it’s not knit, its loose weave and the fact that it is two layers of fabric tacked together here and there, make it unrelentingly shifty under the presser foot. I should…[Read more]

In general I have found O+S patterns to be a tad bigger than ready-to-wear. The only Sunny Day Shorts I have made were in a size 2T and that was the case there. I don’t think they are so much bigger that you have to make a size up, though. Just a little roomier. The key would be the waist measurement for the elastic, and since you have those I…[Read more]

If you have the Village Frock I am definitely interested! Possibly in Bedtime Story and Ice Cream too depending on size.

Heidi, I love the cards. Are you going to do the whole table?

Finished the layette bodysuit; thanks for the push Tamara! I think it will be very comfortable for the baby as it is made of double-faced gauze that was a major pain in the patoot to sew. Major. But it’s all done and maybe tomorrow I will finish the pants. Check!

I second the After School as definitely worth a go. The back yoke on those is fabulous for giving sufficiently high back coverage. So much so that I’ve used the back half of those mashed to other pants fronts.
I imagine if you use a yoke, like Nature Walk, you can shape that how you like, then add a straight hemmed skirt underneath.

The Hide and Seek is my favorite style but I don’t own the pattern yet (because we are on the cusp of outgrowing the smaller size and I’m telling myself to wait until it makes sense to buy the longer … though I probably need both since my girls tend to be 2s or 3s for width in O+S.

IN any case, my FOE arrived, I finished the last of my diaper…[Read more]

I am FINALLY making a Hide and Seek tunic – of course, I bought the pattern in the smaller size and just realized that the kiddo is going to be out of a size 4 any second. Good thing this is a generous fit and I added a couple of inches in length…it’s coming along wonderfully; I’m using fabric from Tula Pink’s new line along with a ponte de…[Read more]

I’d sew the blazer too 🙂 A knit cardigan would be wonderful as well – they are my personal favorite thing to wear so my girls get new ones each year (store-bought). Now that I have dipped my toes into the waters of swimsuit sewing, it occurs to me that an O+S swimsuit pattern with a couple different views would be awesome …

A pair of pink dresses in need of a new home….
I have some options for rehoming but these are both such Oliver + S dresses that I prefer to offer them here!
