Did you hold the gallery and the cinema together to see they fit? Just clarifying as that is what I think you mean. If they are a perfect fit, I can’t see why you couldn’t just swap them, but that’s just my two cents.

You fold your raw edge up to the inch you want. So if it says fold a half inch and then an inch, first fold your raw edge to the half inch all the way around and then fold to the inch. If you’d like I could pop up a pic on flickr.

Have you ever tried a hem gauge? They are life changing (IMO). I have this one and use it all the time.…[Read more]

Sarvi replied to the topic Garden Party Dress – some changes to in the forum oliver + s: garden party 10 years ago
Just a tip — if you post these changes in the caption of the photo, they will be more easily available for anybody who searches the flickr pool for inspiration and comes across your dress. You can include notes about what size you made and what fabric you used as well, people often are curious about that.

Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoI really like both top patterns and will be purchasing as soon as I have a little extra “me” money. The Gallery top looks like it would be the perfect top (made in a voile or gauze) to throw on over a tank top or camisole for the slightly cooler summer nights at the beach. I probably won’t make it as a dress as I like my dresses to be more…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoI love the Gallery so much, I just wish it was a two piece collar. I can see it becoming another Portfolio dress. Hunted down and sort after.
The Maritime is divine, such a slimming and flattering style.
The skirt is so cute, I am concerned how it will look on me as I have a very thick waist and poochy tummy but I love it.
I can see how much…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoI am so excited about the new tops. In fact, my patterns arrived this afternoon and I have the Gallery all traced off waiting for the kids to go to bed. #teampaper 🙂
I have been nervous about sewing for myself, but I KNOW with your patterns I don’t need to worry. They will be drafted well and come with great instructions. I have made the…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoThanks, Sarvi and Cat! Courtney, the skirt is designed to sit at your natural waist, but it’s really a matter of your preference. Just like if you tried things on at a store, you get to decide how you want to wear your clothing. If you prefer it to sit a little lower, that’s up to you. Mine sits at my belly button or slightly lower, yes.

I LOVE both tops and if this month were not so insanely busy I’d have ordered and made them already. I absolutely love the Maritime top, it’s one of my favorite styles and I have a few that all have something sligh…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoHey all, I asked Todd to create this group so we’d have a place to easily discuss sewing for ourselves. So first question: feedback on the new Liesl + Co patterns? Are these styles you want to sew for yourself?

The Kaffe Fassett shot cottons make lovely play shirts. They only need the lightest of ironing once made up.

If you are finding it hard to get a nice turn, try basting a turning guide with a long stitch (#4). This will no only give you an accurate fold line but will gently ease the fabric.
If it is not enough ease, you can gather the stitches, just a bee’s whisker. - Load More
