How lovely of you to put this together! Facebook keeps making it more and more difficult for us to reach our fans, so we really appreciate all your efforts.

@mcholley1 I was thinking of you, after your comment on my blog about your daughter eschewing bright colours, as I’m due to start work soon on a zebra print Fairy Tale dress! Mine is for opening night of Carnival Of The Animals where children are invited to dress up as their fav animal (I vetoed fake fyr onesies!)
A mad print like that on a Fairy…[Read more]

Very sweet! Now I know what to do with all those buttons I’ve let S buy over the years to reward her for her patience at the trim store…

@erysiphe well that’s maybe slightly better than what I was immediately reminded of: Swine Erysipelas. Disease of pigs caused by Erysipelothrix bacterium.
Perhaps we can invent the Greek muse of sewing AND powdery mildew and call her Erysiphe.
Welcome!

Thank you!

Welcome aboard! O+S patterns are definitely an addiction. What does your username mean? I thought it might have been one of the nine muses but I don’t recall there being a muse of cute sewing 🙂

I think it’s ok to link to public photos, we do that in the thread for pointing out great sewing we’ve recently seen. What a completely sweet little detail! Maggie always has the best ideas.

Ah, I have sewn for a Bay Area winter baby before! I made the pants in flannel, lined with double gauze and the other way around, gauze lined with flannel, worked out to be quite comparable to pinwale cord in weight. The mama reported they were a great weight for the weather there, should you find yourself fabric shopping for another set down the road.

Will join soon! Thanks for starting it!

Welcome aboard! Looking forward to seeing your photos. Many of us are at a similar stage of moving up to sewing grown up clothes. Please do share any tips you think of, they’re most welcome!

Ok, great to know — the very first set of patterns were a little bit different in how some of the info was presented, compared to the protocol used now, and I suspect that a box I’m seeing on my pattern sheet that has some numbers in it like 30201, 1/1 – 1/2 REV may be the older way that versions were noted, but I don’t know how to interpret…[Read more]

Good reminder to everyone who uses digital patterns. Ours are made with Adobe Acrobat and are guaranteed to work when you view and print them with Adobe Reader. If you use a different PDF viewer, the chances are good that the file will not print perfectly.

If any of the seams give you grief try ironing a small scrap of interfacing to stabilise the seam before sewing.

Good luck, they sound very groovy.

A very soft pinwale would be lovely. The pants fit for a long time too.

Congratulations Nancy, I am so excited for you.

I had my last lot made by Cash’s name labels. I think they are international, try Googling them.

Absolutely gorgeous, individually cut and iron-on-able.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! I don’t seem to be able to find my copy of that pattern, but there may be an easier way to determine which printing you have, as there are errata for the first printing.

Do you see this on your pattern piece #4 or are all the labels in order?

“Finally, please note that in the first printing of the…[Read more]

I’ve looked into this before, and for the small quantities I wanted, it was a bit more than I wanted to spend to get woven labels. There are lots of great option on Etsy for small batches of printed labels, but in the end I just had my daughter’s name printed a bunch of times onto a fat quarter from Spoonflower, and I cut them out as needed.
