Well that is an option thanks Nicole and Jess.M. I helps to ask others who’ve trodden the path before.

I have no idea what I did just now….
Help, Hugo!

Did it again.

Nicole replied to the topic Swingset top fit in the forum oliver + s: swingset 11 years ago

I made the tiny size for Trixie but she only wore is a few times. It was the getting on that was the problem, it was fine once on but chubby baby arms don’t always bend the way you want them too.
And my babies are very placid and easy to dress.

I would make the 6-12 month in your position, you have it for next summer as well then. Also, if you…[Read more]

Sounds exciting!
@lilypadmontana, if you use cloth nappies, make the bodysuit in the second size. It will fit for longer. And you want it to fit, it is so cute!

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic softening linen?? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 11 years ago

Linen will continue to soften more and more with each washing, and that’s one of the beauties of it. I wrote a little bit about it a while ago on the blog: http://oliverands.com/community/blog/2013/04/fabric-friday-natural-fibers-used-to-make-fabric.html

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Any thoughts on the Sunday Brunch Jacket from flannel? in the forum oliver + s: sunday brunch 11 years ago

I think flannel would be really cute and cozy!

Add one more to your list, because there will be a new one for spring! And that’s all I’m saying…

Tamara started the topic Swingset top fit in the forum oliver + s: swingset 11 years ago

I have this pattern and haven’t yet made it. I was thinking of making it up even though the weather has turned and is definitely not strappy top time.

I’m wondering about how the top would go with a bodysuit underneath?

I plan to make the 3-6 month size at the moment with a view of sizing up as she grows.

I am up to setting in the sleeves on the puppet show dress.

Do you mean May and June? If so then I’m in – was going to start sewing the 6-12 month range the. Anyway so why not start with the skirts?

I think I know someone, I will drop them a line.

Nicole replied to the topic How much is too much? in the forum off topic 11 years ago

I am always very grateful for pretty hand-me-downs 😉

I typed a great long post and the internet ate it but, in a nutshell, if you are worried about too many posh dresses, sew the school shirts.
Use beautiful fine cotton, Liberty facings and pearl buttons.
I enjoy sewing Hugo’s work clothes almost as much as Trixies pretty frocks as I use lovely…[Read more]
