@dubhels2003, do you have a link?
I wonder if it is the place mine comes from. I buy ‘seconds’ for the children’s sewing and the flaws are negligible.Thank you!

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoHey all, I just sewed my first entredeux and was SHOCKED at how easy it was! I’ll do a little tutorial for the Butterfly Dress sew-along. I was thinking I’d do a little pintucking tutorial, too, using a double needle and a pintucking foot. All these new (to me) techniques! Very fun, and so much simpler than I expected.
-
What? You are kidding right? They are so simple you are right but you know I thought the same when I first tried them. They are such pretty techniques. I am very glad there are tutorials coming about them all. But, I thought the butterfly was a top?
-
Ack, yes, the Butterfly Top! No idea why I said dress. In any case, I love these techniques.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic How thin is too thin for knits? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
That has happened to me so many times! Knits come in such a range of weights and qualities, it’s really difficult to judge the weight when you’re purchasing on-line. Right now my fabric closet has a pile of really slinky knits that were intended for projects that require a more stable knit. Frustrating, to be sure.
If the fabric doesn’t feel…[Read more]

But, bother! The Postman is late!Do I make first the polo or pants?

I knocked up some very sweet Puppet Show shorts for Trixie in scraps of linen. One pair charcoal and one pearl pink.

That should say ‘slub’ knit! 😉

Hi Sandra.
I am definitely not a knit expert and I have not made the Parachute polo yet but I would wonder about popping those fabrics in your stash.
Thinner knits looks stunning once sewn but can be a bear to handle. Perhaps not the best choice for a new pattern make.
That said, I made amy daughter a Field Trip tee from club knit and it sewed up…[Read more] -
Nicole replied to the topic how much ease on patterns – sail boat top in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
Hi Katy, welcome!
It is a little while since I made a Sailboat top but I found the fit spot on for my little one but I know I had to add length to the sleeve the older sizes. Maybe it is designed to be shorter?
I am in camp ‘one size up’ for a new pattern, with the theory being it will eventually fit.
I will also come onto the forum and ask…[Read more] -
