Kathy Eastwood started the topic Will it work to add a closure? in the forum liesl + co: yanaka jacket 3 years ago
I love the cut of this pattern, but open jackets drive me crazy. Does anyone have experience (or just an informed opinion!) on whether it would work to add some sort of closure? Maybe a button and loop, or three?
Thanks!

Kathy Eastwood started the topic Having trouble adjusting neckline in the forum liesl + co: chai tee 3 years ago
Hi!
I love the way my chai Tee fits, but I’d like a higher neckline so that I get less sun on my chest (I’ve had too much sun over the years). I am trying to adjust the neckline on the pattern, and I have tried to measure the ratio of the neckband to the neckline in order to cut the neckband to the correct length.

Aha! Found it myself. On page 6, it says that the seam allowances are 1/2 inch for the tunic, but 1/4 inch for the leggings. I suspect it comes of having been split from one pattern into two…
cheers

Hi,
This is actually the first Oliver & S pattern I have sewn, even though I have purchased several. I recently purchased the digital version of the singles Playtime Leggings. I am now reading through the instructions to start sewing, and on page 3 of the instructions, under the Pattern Size Key, it states that the seam allowances are 1/4 inch…[Read more]

Help! I need some advice. I want to sew the jacket in Lisette B6169, but I’m having trouble finding fabric I like. I’m hoping for a botanical print on a light background in either twill or denim, but can’t find one. The closest I’ve found is some upholstery fabric at fabric.com, which is a medium weight 100% cotton. However, it is dry clean only,…[Read more]
