Deepa replied to the topic After School Pants Pattern Issues in the forum oliver + s: after-school 10 years ago
I have made the size 5 three times. I had the issue being discussed in this forum, on the first pair, which was a medium weight twill type cotton. I just trimmed off the excess from the bottom. The second and third were made from apparel weight cotton and went off okay. Maybe it has something to go with the amount of stretch in the fabric weave. I…[Read more]

Sew Alongs 10 years agoHeidi, I feel better knowing I am not alone in the fold/unfold the placket issue!
Brittney, did you wash and steam the neck before adding the collar back on to see if it would rebound/fit? Or was this after?
I think I am going to cut a a larger sized collar in muslin and see if it fits. I just can’t figure out what I did wrong. But as I will…[Read more]

I’m with @Inder–use it or trim and yokes and details and you’ll get lots of mileage out of it! But I love @with-love-heidi‘s list! Can’t wait to see it.

I think it’s a matter of personal preference, yes. I used this method for the instructions because it’s less fiddly. But if you prefer the single fold bias method that’s an easy change to make.

Oh, thank you Todd!! Well, last night, I took matters into my own hands, and using the Sketchbook pocket and facing pieces, I added pockets to the Butterfly Skirt. Making this, officially, something I would wear any day! LOL! Maggie likes the pockets too. It was very easy and fast to do. Modeled pics coming to my blog soon, I’m sure!…[Read more]

Sew Alongs 10 years agoI messed up on my first one too and had to unpick:) I threw mine through the wash and steamed the neck with an iron. It seemed to help. On both sizes I made, I clipped the collar just a bit in the front to help ease it in.

Sew Alongs 10 years agoMy collar was a bit funny, I had to remove it because I had both packets folded out. I seem to remember fudging it slightly and relying on the stretch of the knit to make it work. Sorry I can’t be more specific 🙁

cybele727 replied to the topic Parachute Polo Sew Along in the forum
Sew Alongs 10 years agoSo I am hoping for some help here.
When I was attaching the collar, I sewed both the front (button hole) placket and the back (button) placket folded back. That worked for the front, but obviously not the button one which needs to be NOT folded back behind the main fabric.
As I was pinning, I remembered thinking wow, the neckline is much…[Read more]

Did you see Liesl’s recent tutorial on the blog?
adding pockets to the parachute sweatpants (and the butterfly skirt)
Not sure this is exactly what you want, but it could be a starting point.

@kookiblah a Lazy Days skirt, a 2T or 3T Popover Sundress (at least the main part of the dress), I’m wondering about the Seashore Bloomers, all of the O+S doll clothes, hair accessories.
