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!

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.

I do have the Field Trip raglan but haven’t made it yet. I just looked, and it also calls for 25% stretch. And particularly thanks for the neckline tip…my grandchildren also seem to have big heads! I can make this work.

Will the heavier fabric work? Will it stretch enough? The amount of stretch is not listed.

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…

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]

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]
