And indeed you are! I don’t have my copy handy but can check for you when I get home. Jeb, look up at the top of the page and you will see it says discuss>Apple-picking — that will help identify which pattern is being discussed. Also there is only one pattern which has a neck tie, or am I forgetting one?

Aw, that’s so nice to hear! Thanks!

@liesl I loved it and the Jumprope is my favourite pattern out of all my sewing patterns, not just O+S.

I have finished my daughter, Elsa, turn on my #sewingrota http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/elsa-round-up.html and now I am onto Zara, her twin.

Today I started a knit jacket with welt pockets. The instructions were very scant so I pulled out my Art Museum pattern.

Totally agreed, Tamara! I’ll let you know how it goes.

I think this is the pattern I’m going to try:

The seller has training in foundation garments, which gives me confidence that she knows what she’s doing. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Good memory, Nicole! That’s a really cute one.

What about adding a pleat down the back to take up the excess, and add bias binding to both edges of the front. Before you turn and finish the binding you could sew both bindings together at what will become the outer-most fold so you get a seam down the center. Like this quick sketch.

Is the fabric plain or patterned? Can you add add a small front strip panel, just a cm or so, to join the front pieces?

Or can you sew the selvedges together?

Oh dear Heidi, I do feel for you.

Hi @willknitformath I would think you have safely got enough fabric for the size 3T depending on how much length you add.

There was a gorgeous multi fabric Jumprope made a few years back, I will see if I can find it in the pool.

For me, I would consider a white collar and placket to complement the different fabrics.
It will eliminate pattern…[Read more]

@vzgranier If you use the link Sarvi provided, you’ll see all the errata from the first printing. Everything is covered there.

You might want to have a peek at the older threads about this pattern. Folks who want a tuck-in style shirt often add some length, and there’s discussion there about how much to add for which size.

I don’t know whether there’s been a second printing…[Read more]

@rose-may the site has been extensively redesigned since that post was published six years ago.

You’ll now find a search box at the top-left of the page right under the Oliver + S logo. That will let you search the whole site–not just the forums–for results.

@justsewit and others,

Last Friday we moved the website to a new server (maybe some of you saw the maintenance notification) which has a new IP address.

Anytime you do this there’s an issue with both the internet as a whole and with people’s local networks caching IP address information. We do what we can on the server side to minimize…[Read more]
