I understand but in this case, you’d want a 6-12 month size (if baby fits the measurement of course). Some pattern pieces won’t require sticking together in the smaller size range. They are still nested but fit onto the page and it would be say a bodice piece if this were the case.

It will save time should you revisit the pattern later on because…[Read more]

Hi Suzanne @theartsypaul

The PDF patterns are all nested, meaning the sizes are all together as you assemble the pattern. So with this in mind, tracing would be a great option in order to have your size and preserve the pattern for when different sizes are required.

Hope this helps

My eldest preferred hers with buttons at the front.

Hmm. I think this should help?

You can find any errata on the page for that pattern.

Asmita, you just need to enter the shipping address in the United States on the page where you enter your shipping and billing address.

With the billing address of the card in India, the payment will process for you, and with the shipping address in the US you will get US shipping rates.

Looks like you did it perfectly! A boxy dress with dropped shoulder is going to have a boxy fit. Thus the lines. It’s normal for this style. The dress looks great on you!

That’s the right photo, @joslyn. You can see the full worksheet for the dress on page 20, including a sketch of the skirt on that particular dress–it’s added to an empire waist in this instance.

Linda, please email information@oliverands.com with information about where you purchased and proof of purchase and we’ll get you all taken care of here.

Hi @fitdoc Ava

May I suggest Farmhouse fabrics http://shop.farmhousefabrics.com/stores_app/Browse_dept_items.asp?Shopper_id=773110202142467731&Store_id=198&Page_id=17&categ_id=31&parent_ids=0&name=Corduroy,+Prints

Apologies for the silence, @dids! I’m traveling, with limited access to my computer. If I recall correctly, you attach the elastic to both front edges of only the fabric A jacket. So right side and left side. Does that make sense? I hope it helps.

The dress looks awesome @caraskates. I’m assuming the embroidery was done by machine?

Ok, sewists, I need your help! I’m ready to send out testing packages for our next Liesl + Co patterns, and I’m looking for two specific sizes:

I need someone who wears a C-cup (2″ different between your high bust and full bust) for a shirt pattern.

I’m also looking for someone who wears a size 16, 18, or 20 to test a shorts and a skirt pattern.…[Read more]

There is an errata notice for that pattern that might address this issue:

Errata
In the first printing of this pattern there was a minor error in the instructions. In the second column on page 4, the bottom two illustrations have the fabric right side-fabric wrong side shading reversed. Where you see the fabric right side illustrated,…

Yeah, you might even want to measure the pattern at various spots and compare the measurements to spots on his legs if you don’t want them to be tight. Since everyone is built differently, it will also depend on how muscular or thin his legs are.

Hi Sharon

I was just looking at the body measurement chart and if your son has a 25″ waist then he would fit into a size 12. I have only made the smaller sizes and for a little girl (of course because my son doesn’t ask for creative ideas for costumes). They are true to size I think and so if you were to pick between an 8 or 10 I would certainly…[Read more]

@reeni Thanks. My daughter drew me a picture of what she wanted and the Metro will fit the bill for what she wants. However, you could do the raglan and I actually (when I was looking for inspriation) looked at the carousel dress design lines to see how this would work. I am seeing cold shoulder tops that are fitted t shirts and also strappy tops…[Read more]

Well okay then. Between you and me, I’m working on it!
