Nicole replied to the topic Sewing for crawling babies in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

I found dresses just bunched up above the waist, it never bothered any of my babies.
Perhaps make one and see how you go. 🙂
Nicole started the topic Most and Least Worn O+S Outfit? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

As I s q u e e z e d Trixie ( 6 mnths) into her Puppet Show tunic (size 0-3 mnth), for the very last time this morning, I reflected on what a lot of wear she has had from it.

It was a good sew. She wore it as a dress as newborn through to a blouse today, with Tea Party boomers.

The teeny Swing Set only got a few wears as she chubbied up too…[Read more]
lattemama replied to the topic What's for Tea Today, Mum? A cooking thread. in the forum Cooking and Baking 10 years ago

There was a quarter piece pie left over and I was looking forward to eat that tonight, but Isabel claimed it so I was stuck with cheesy broccoli quinoa and balsamic glazed chicken which I had had for lunch today and yesterday and there is still a serving left! (I made a huge batch over the weekend.)
lattemama replied to the topic What's for Tea Today, Mum? A cooking thread. in the forum Cooking and Baking 10 years ago

I made a salmon, leeks and fennel pie for us last night. It was really good and my eldest would have eaten it whole if I had let her. The little one was not very impressed.

I used smoked salmon in thin slices, some sautéed leeks and thinly sliced fennel.
The only negative thing was that I had forgotten the salt in the pie crust. Need to remember…[Read more]

Afraid it is just a no name voile from Spotlight (Australia) – which was bought a few years ago – it is lovely though, isn’t it?

Nicole has also made some lovely thing with it:

(Hope you don’t mind me linking, Nicole!)
Nicole replied to the topic Cotton Lawn in the forum oliver + s: music box 10 years ago

Oh, that fabric is lovely!
The Music Box is such a straight forward sew you won’t need a tute.
(But we are here if you need us) xx
Justine J replied to the topic Cotton Lawn in the forum oliver + s: music box 10 years ago

Oh, wasn’t expecting them to post here! 🙂

And the fabric you have chosen is lovely – it will be perfect

Oh wow, some sweet dresses and equally sweet little girls.
Justine J replied to the topic Cotton Lawn in the forum oliver + s: music box 10 years ago

It will make a lovely music box dress – I have used lawn/voile for this pattern three times, and it makes a lovely, floaty summer…[Read more]
Nicole replied to the topic Is there a name for this style? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

This is pretty too http://sewing.patternreview.com/Patterns/9786 ( but I don’t have it)
Nicole replied to the topic Is there a name for this style? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I have a Burda pattern, with a separate bolero, you may have.

http://sewing.patternreview.com/Patterns/9785 if it will work.

I do see it goes from an 11…. may be a bit big.
Nicole replied to the topic Cotton Lawn in the forum oliver + s: music box 10 years ago

Hi Erin. Lawn is lovely to sew with but may I suggest you spend a little more and look for a Japanese lawn? It will have a little more body and be easier to handle.

If you are new to sewing children’s clothes, may I be so bold as to show you my tute’s for some of the O+S patterns? I go through the directions, step by step and you can email me if…[Read more]
Todd Gibson replied to the topic Out of print in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

@dubhels2003 I think she has a list she keeps and works from when she’s going to do one. I’ve already passed on the question to her.
Todd Gibson replied to the topic Oliver + S Colouring Book in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Thanks so much for doing this Lotta!
Todd Gibson replied to the topic Out of print in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

That pattern has just been an OK seller. It was only selling at about half the monthly volume we would need to see to justify a reprint. And it doesn’t sell very well in digital format.

People who sew it seem to really like it, but it’s probably our most difficult pattern. And that puts a lot of people off. Easier patterns always sell better than…[Read more]

Thanks SO much for doing this! It’s downloaded, printed, and being colored in by my daughter right now – perfect for the “I’m bored” morning she’s having today.
beachmom replied to the topic Oliver + S Colouring Book in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Thank you so much for compiling all the line drawings and sharing them, Lotta! You’re awesome!
