Nicole replied to the topic Sewing Library Dress with vintage silk in the forum oliver + s: library 10 years ago

Another that has not sewn the Library dress but I have made many outfit from for my children.

I adore sewing the stiffer silks, they are easy to handle and sew well.

First up, decide how you want to launder your garment, pre-wash and stick to that method. If you chose to hand wash (…[Read more]
Nicole replied to the topic How to adjust sizes in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

I concur
I over altered the Field Trip cargoes for my daughter and lost a lot of hip room , they are okay but it did spoil the patten some what
I did lengthen the Art Museum trousers for my tall skinny girl very successfully adding length to the waist and the ankle
( I just checked , size 7 with a length of 12)
I guess as long as the hips are…[Read more]

@dubhels2003, do you have a link?
I wonder if it is the place mine comes from. I buy ‘seconds’ for the children’s sewing and the flaws are negligible.

Thank you!

Cheri, I would do as the other girls have suggested
I blogged the dress here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/garden-party-dress-part-two.html if you wish to see the step the lovely ladies are referring too.

(Bravo Becky)

New patterns released, which is great!
The cooking and cleaning can wait
I must go through my fabric
It’s going to be magic
But, bother! The Postman is late!

Do I make first the polo or pants?
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I knocked up some very sweet Puppet Show shorts for Trixie in scraps of linen. One pair charcoal and one pearl pink.

Nicole replied to the topic How thin is too thin for knits? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

That should say ‘slub’ knit! 😉
Nicole replied to the topic How thin is too thin for knits? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Hi Sandra.
I am definitely not a knit expert and I have not made the Parachute polo yet but I would wonder about popping those fabrics in your stash.
Thinner knits looks stunning once sewn but can be a bear to handle. Perhaps not the best choice for a new pattern make.
That said, I made amy daughter a Field Trip tee from club knit and it sewed up…[Read more]
Nicole replied to the topic how much ease on patterns – sail boat top in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Hi Katy, welcome!

It is a little while since I made a Sailboat top but I found the fit spot on for my little one but I know I had to add length to the sleeve the older sizes. Maybe it is designed to be shorter?

I am in camp ‘one size up’ for a new pattern, with the theory being it will eventually fit.
I will also come onto the forum and ask…[Read more]
