Several pairs in rotation over two daughters and no complaints here.
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Parachute Polo Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

I think cotton jersey is great for polos and T-shirts, and I’m sure it will be fine here. This pattern doesn’t need a ton of stretch, especially with the woven details. So glad you’re joining us!

Thank you Lovely!
I just used a slightly longer straight stitch

Here it is on a svelte mannequin https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/13886701965/in/album-72157636708064826/

if you have a wee flick through this set you can see how much ease it had 🙂

I love it!
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Still plugging away at Elsa’s coat. Not so pleasant to sew wool with a stuffy nose and head cold.
Sewing for babies sounds much more fun but I have Zara, Hugo, Me, Jed and Gifts before it is sweet Trixie’s turn again.
It doesn’t stop me planning…..

Are you in a rush? You can have my copy.
I purchased it in case Trixie was a boy. I am happy to swop for that tee pattern.

This is cute and the boys look like an elegant tied version.

Just picked up my daughter, Elsa, (15) from work experience at an animal reserve.

She handled everything from pythons to possums and even minded a monkey!

Then perhaps consider a cloth with some stretch.
I made a maternity version in wool spandex and it gave me quite a bit of ease.

(I would post a link but I am worried the whole photo would appear and no one needs to see that huge belly here)

Can’t wait to see you Sarvi! Holler if you need anything when you arrive, and have a great trip!
Nicole replied to the topic Tips for fabric shopping in New York in the forum off topic 9 years ago

No tips but I wish I was coming to carry your bags.

They do sell Manchester/homewards online, V, but not fabric. I think you can mail order catalogue fabric though – but only from the current catalogue…
Justine J replied to the topic FBA bust darts on Gallery Tunic in the forum liesl + co: gallery tunic + dress 9 years ago

Timely thread – my (paper! Woohoo!) patterns arrived this afternoon and I was just reading the FBA directions on this – step 5 says to end the dart about 1″ from the marked apex, which seemed strange to me – but I guess your issue is why, Sarvi
