Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Parachute Sweatpants Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 10 years ago

Yes, I was wondering about that myself. Rachel (@nestfullofeggs), maybe it’s better to add a new post for each day of the sew-along? I think the updates get lost otherwise. In other words, maybe each day of the sew-along should be a reply to the post instead of modifying the original post? Do you think that would be better, @georgeandizzy?

Nicole replied to the topic Late Lunch Tunic – short sleeves? in the forum liesl + co: late lunch tunic 10 years ago

It is a good question. The sleeve is kimono style and on a bias of sorts.

I think I would shorten by measuring from the sleeve cuff back, taking equal amounts from the sleeve front and the sleeve back. I would suggest leaving then sleeve a little longer then you anticipate too. You can always cut more off.

The hem on this sleeve behaves a little…[Read more]

Is this the problem?

Could you either upload a smaller photo or link to a photo hosted elsewhere (flickr allows for pretty big files) — I’m afraid I’m having a bit of trouble picturing the problem you’re describing.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic How thin is too thin for knits? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Even with the right fiber content, different knit qualities will feel and drape differently, so there’s no simple answer to this. Unfortunately. You really just have to feel them!

Nicole replied to the topic Garden Party Front Yoke in the forum oliver + s: garden party 10 years ago

Is the the step you are referring too?
