Kathy started the topic arm facing too short? in the forum liesl + co: breezy blouse 2 years ago
My arm facing pieces are about 2 inches too short for the the armscyes. I made minor alterations to the armscye, but nothing like 2 inches. The instructions don’t say anything about easing, so I was expecting a 1:1 fit.
Can anyone suggest where I’ve gone wrong? Many thanks!

Kathy started the topic Cuffs flaring out? in the forum liesl + co: all day shirt 3 years ago
Hello,
Does anyone have any idea why the cuffs on this all day shirt sleeve are flaring out? I’ve double checked that the interfaced cuff is facing the outside. Did I stretch the facing too much? Is there anything I can do other than recut some cuffs and facings and redo it?Suggestions welcome!
Thanks,

Kathy started the topic shortening the sleeves? in the forum liesl + co: chaval coat 3 years ago
Hello,
I’d like to shorten the sleeves approximately 5 inches. I’m not sure where best to do this, as there’s no lengthen/shorten line. Should I divide the 5 inches between two locations on the sleeve? Am I correct in assuming I should shorten in approximately the same place on the under sleeve and upper sleeve?
Thank you!Kathy

Hi,
I’m making a Classic shirt, but I would like to remove the back pleats and add back darts, just like on the Recital shirt. Can I substitute the Recital shirt back for the Classic shirt back? I seem to remember reading that these patterns were related.Thanks,

The small size All Day Shirt with added length fit very well, but the neck was too small and he couldn’t get the collar button done up.
What pattern alterations could I do to give him more room in the neck?
Thanks,

The muslin was successful and the shirt hung normally. After a few tweaks to the length, I’m well into the final product.
Thanks for your prompt response!

Kathy started the topic Back wider than front? in the forum liesl + co: all day shirt 6 years ago
I’m making a small (with added length). I discovered when I was measuring the (nearly) finished muslin that the back is wider than the front and the side seams are not at the side.
Going back to measure the pattern, the back – from the fold to top of side seam – is 12-5/8 in, total 25-1/4 inches.
The front – from the cut line to top of side…[Read more]
