Does a similar standard exist for adult patterns?

During the years I lived in the Chicago area, we would often brave the wind chill and go down to Michigan Ave.

My most spectacular holiday experiences would definitely have to be the few times I spent NYE on…[Read more]

snag – sausage
loo – toilet

That’s hopefully remembering correctly – it’s been over 10 years since I’ve lived in AUS! I’ve had too many influences on my colloquial English over the years and now have a mishmash vocabulary (and a currently Chicago/Midwest accent). I find myself adopting the lingo of wherever I live, but for the…[Read more]

Nicole, I actually just bought that pattern a couple weeks ago and can’t wait to put it to use. My daughter is on the petite side and I don’t like buying clothes that have “room to grow” because she takes forever to fill them out. It will be nice to sew pants more appropriate to her measurements.

I read back a few pages and all the projects sound so lovely.
I recently went to the mall to purchase some long pants for my almost-3yo daughter and was just so discouraged by how little I could find that met my standards for quality and fit – and I’m…[Read more]

Introduce yourself! in the forum off topic https://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/introductions/page/22/#post-16024 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 10:36:26 -0400 Hi everyone, I’m pretty new around here! I discovered Oliver + S through my sister and absolutely love the designs. I am currently just sewing for my two little girls (a 2 year old and a 9 month old), but hope to branch out into more tailored outfits for myself as well. It’s hard to carve out sewing time with my two eager “helpers”, but slow and…[Read more]
