Nicole replied to the topic Has anyone resized the bucket hat for size 0-3? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 2 years ago
@Bonnie I found the hat was on the small side (or my babies have enormous heads) I would make one and see. You can always pop it away for a few months. They grow so fast.
Good luck. -
Nicole replied to the topic Liesl and Co Woodland Cape in the forum liesl + co: woodland stroll cape 3 years ago
It is very roomy @sewrosey61 as it fastens with a side button.
This lovely pattern is my go to as a teacher gift. My last version was sewn for a AUS size 20.
(My tip, attach the button with elastic so it has some ease)
Alternatively, I think you could make a wee tab that has buttons on each end.Good luck!

Nicole replied to the topic buttons? in the forum liesl + co: all day shirt 3 years ago
@lrnbckmn, do you have an old shirt in your rag bag that you can salvage the buttons from?
Or you could try an Op-Shop?
Maybe ask around your friends? Many of the mass produced shirts have those little collar buttons as standard. -

@macaronquilts Out of interest I got my 23 year son to try on his sisters. Way too short (I had shortened the leg) but they fit in a low waisted way.
He is not overly tall and an average muscular build.He, too, liked the pockets and said he would happily wear them.
I hope that helps!

The Roller Skate would be a great back drop to appliquéd bunting.

@softwareandstitches I found this one https://www.craftsy.com/sewing/patterns/a-guide-to-schmetz-sewing-needles/236850 I couldn’t search for you yesterday as I was on my phone.
My favourite is size 10, It seems to sew best on my machine, a Bernina semi-industrial. I am pretty fussy about changing them after hitting a pin or 12 hours sewing time.…[Read more]

@moushka26 My apologies in not replying sooner. I have had a bereavement.
I hope your mother continues to improve.

Nicole replied to the topic Ideal Needle Size in the forum oliver + s: building block dress 6 years ago
That will depend on what the fabric you are sewing.
For lawn and voile, I use a size 10, a size 12 for most other fabrics and a 14 for denim.
If you google it, you should find a good chart that will recommend type and needle size.
Good luck.

@moushka26 I checked my notes and this was a straight size 8. The top she is wearing is a size 12 Hopscotch t-shirt.
I hope that helps.

How about the same way as the Fairy Tale dress is sewn?
I have a few photos here that may help.
PS I have not sewn the Library dress *yet*

I have made a few baby boy Sketch book shorts, utterly adorable but they were a bit firm for a chubby babies neck. The Music Class would definitely be roomier.

This jacket is quite roomy, my daughter is 11 or 12 in this photo and you can see it fits nicely still.
The sleeves are good and long too as they fold back on themselves in a deep cuff.

Nicole replied to the topic Clipping into Staystitching? in the forum oliver + s: roller skate 6 years ago
@MaggieH absolutely nothing wrong with slow sewing. Far, far better to have one good dress than half dozen rushed, ‘okay’ versions.
I will keep a look out for it and I am very keen to see your lace version.
Perfect your skills and pattern and you WILL have something you can see up for that last minute invite.
Good luck

Nicole replied to the topic music class blouse for boys? in the forum oliver + s: music class 6 years ago
I would have definitely put this on my boy.
For up to 2 years I would make it as it is. (2+2 blouse would be adorable too) after that age I would consider leaving off the tucks and trimming the excess from the side and front to match the yoke.
I would keep the width at the sides for a chubby boy or trim the side too for a slimmer child (drafting a…[Read more] -

@MaggieH how did it go?
I dismissed this pattern as a bit of a dull sew UNTIL I sewed it.
Very red faced, it is just lovely. -
Nicole replied to the topic Clipping into Staystitching? in the forum oliver + s: roller skate 6 years ago
Stay stitching is a support for sewing, once the sewing is done it has done its job.
Clipping the curves is important for a nice neat turn and curve.
On a very sheer fabric, where the clipping will show, I trim the seam very closely and it will curve nicely but you need to be a bit careful.
I hope that helps?
