Tamara replied to the topic a c-thru metric ruler… seems to be elusive in the USA! in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

Whoops sorry @liesl I completely forgot you already carry one😳. I have one similar but it is only in inches not metric also. They are very handy little gadgets but sometimes you need to revert back and “translate” and with mine it is sligtly tricky without the use of a calculator (and even that is a mindbender).

Thanks, @justsewit !That does make sense, and I’ll make sure to post how things turn out after giving it a try. @liesl, I’ve learned so much from your patterns already!

Now I am waiting impatiently for the Fall pattern release!
Thanks, @liesl for all you do to encourage sewists and to assist us in learning new skills.
Addie replied to the topic Has anyone paired the B6183 top with the Everyday Skirt? in the forum liesl + co: everyday skirt 9 years ago

Thank you @motherof5, @liesl and @justsewit! I would definitely be interested in a blog post including this topic Liesl.

I have started: I cut out the skirt in the print fabric and will get sewing it today. I plan to try come color blocking on the top by using the print for only the front-side panels with the rest of the top pieces solid. (At…[Read more]

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

Addie replied to the topic Gallery Tunic + Dress Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

@liesl — Thank you for your reply. I did end up adding the placket, sleeves etc. and it fits just fine as is, yay! It’s really cute and I may even wear it out (even though it’s made out of a vintage sheet!). I just need to hem it and then it will be done. I am really looking forward to cutting out the pattern in my new Japanese double gauze. I…[Read more]

Thank you, Rachel. I’ll give a try.
@liesl, I don’t see a picture… It’s also dark for me, I also live in Madrid…!
Thanks for your help. I hope I can catch up during the weekend.
Jessamy replied to the topic Gallery Tunic + Dress Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

@liesl Thank you so much for your response! There is always so much to learn, and I did not realize that the interfacing should not really change the hand of the fabric. I used a much lighter interfacing (the 906 F I mentioned is a “shear weight”) than my first tunic, but it is definitely still too stiff. I’ve already sewed the side seams up, and…[Read more]

@blacktabi: ohh I also had this same issue with the FBA dart. Luckily I realized while I was doing the FBA on the pattern, so I could just redraw it. Still, it’s my first time doing any of this so let’s see how it comes out.

@liesl, I am sooo sooo excited. Yesterday I managed to catch up on the sewalong, and being my first time sewing anything…[Read more]

@Liesl Oh, please, please DO a video showing how to do a rub-off of jeans that already fit! Dream come true!!
Tamara replied to the topic your wish list in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

It’s really good to hear that we will get to sink our sewing teeth into something with a bit of bite to it. I can see how you’d be frustrated by people wanting simple minimal pattern piece designs Liesl. If they wanted that then really it would be a no pattern piece situation and just make a sarong or something – or do what my daughter does and…[Read more]
Enbee replied to the topic Women's jeans patterns in the forum off topic 9 years ago

@Liesl – have you ever looked at Mood’s denims (they have a physical store in NYC, right)? If so, are they not a good source for the quality you’re looking for?

(full disclosure – I have no idea what high-end denim feels like. I buy inexpensive jeans because I’m hard on them. Still want them to fit better, though!)

Well that’s the best case scenario {sigh of relief}! Thanks @brenda1652 @justsewit @liesl
Tamara replied to the topic your wish list in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

@liesl that is very exciting news! I will definitely be ordering this when it released then as my daughter requires one for school – so the umbrella will have to do for the time being.

@caraskates cord can look especially lush if you reverse the nap a la @liesl 🙂

@ginny3wI am so glad you got the right advice, I can’t wait to see what you do.

Thank you @liesl
Cat replied to the topic Lisette B6244 Coat Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 10 years ago

@liesl, thanks for the information about the twill tape. I got some and will try it. I finally was able to upload a picture of the pattern for the larger size and wanted clarification on how this should be cut. It seems like piece 2 is on the fold and 1 and 3 are not — is that right?

Thank you!
