Thanks Nicole 🙂 I got quite a few things finished today. The pram liner, a pullover from before I found Oliver and S, a purple panne velvet cape and I turned a small piece of Christmas patchwork and an off cut of towel into a trivet/hot pad!

Yes I made it and it worked fine. I ended up using silk dupioni for the yoke. https://www.flickr.com/photos/23557464@N03/8260534376/in/dateposted-public/

I’m attacking my WIP box! Most other it is at least 2 year old. So far I have finished a pram liner for over 2 years ago. Now what next?

Deepa replied to the topic After School Pants Pattern Issues in the forum oliver + s: after-school 11 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]

You guys should all be sewing this pattern. I am obsessed. I think my other boy needs one now too.

@cybele727 I washed/steamed before re-attaching the collar.
cybele727 replied to the topic Parachute Polo Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 11 years ago

Heidi, 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]
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic What to do with 1/2 yard cuts of Liberty in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 11 years ago

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.
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Neck facing puckering in the forum oliver + s: butterfly blouse + skirt 11 years ago

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.
Inder replied to the topic Has anyone added pockets to the Butterfly Skirt? in the forum oliver + s: butterfly blouse + skirt 11 years ago

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]

I 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.
with love Heidi replied to the topic Parachute Polo Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 11 years ago

My 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 11 years ago

So 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]
