Hi everyone! I’m out of town at a conference, so my apologies for the slow replies. @dubhels2003, I think you mean easestitching? It’s a basting stitch that you can remove after you finish the seam. Easestitching allows you to shorten an edge slightly without causing puckers or gathers. How is everyone doing so far? I’m wishing I had packed my…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic FBA without adjusting waistline…? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Yes, you’ve got it, Heidi. Generally that additional width is handled with the combination of a dart and more contouring at the side seam. I hope that helps, Rebecca!

How nice that you’re going to do that! I’d suggest referring to our measurement chart for waist sizes. If you have some of our other skirt patterns they might be helpful for lengths, but children vary so much in height at each age that it might be a good idea to make some longer and some shorter skirt. It’s tricky when you don’t know the sizes of…[Read more]

Right on, @lightningmcstitch! The drape is important for this one. The fabric can be relatively thick as long as it’s not too stiff. @Ginger, I’d suggest going to a fabric store and looking at the coatings section so you can see the type of fabric we’ve recommended for this pattern. That way you’ll know what to look for when you shop your stash!

I sometimes use tailor’s tacks and sometimes use tailor’s chalk. Depending on the fabric, they can both work.

We’re huge fans, too. S has worn them since she could walk. We buy a pair every spring and they last and last.
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Mix interlock with jersey? in the forum oliver + s: field trip 10 years ago

Interfacing usually works well for me when it comes to hemming. You might need to adjust the tension on your machine for the double needle, too. I usually have to crank up the upper tension by quite a bit to balance things out. Good luck!
