Thanks, Liesl and Nicole!

Sounds good… just so I am clear, though, I don’t stitch on the area between the dots but on the stitching line I transfer from the pattern piece (even though the illustrations in the instructions show a stitching line on the area between the dots)?

Also, what do I do about the 3rd notch that’s in the illustrations…[Read more]

How about the Art Museum trousers, with a shiny stripe down the side, and an oversized Sketchbook shirt with the stand collar option and lots of length added, then add on the bits of gold trim. In the right fabric it might read like a coat?

Oh, very good point. Habu is a bit like that. The long-suffering non-crafting friend who went with me referred to it as a ‘yarn speakeasy’ 🙂

Sounds like a very nice brain to be in, then!

Thanks for the kind words, @needlewoman! I’m glad you like the patterns and appreciate your support and encouragement. It’s always so nice to hear a kind word!

If it helps at all with regard tot he knits, you really don’t need any special equipment. So don’t let knits intimidate you! If you haven’t tried them yet, I think you’ll be pleasantly…[Read more]

Liesl, Todd and all the hardworking persons associated with Oliver+S; just wanted to say that I really do like the new kids’ patterns. As I don’t really have the wherewithall for knit sewing, I will be purchasing both size-sets of the Butterfly Top, and skirt. I can see lots of potential for these items, and they look comfortable for kids.

Thank…[Read more]

I’m up to choosing the buttons for my first Hopscotch skirt, and have cut out two size 8 Rollerskate dresses. Say I’m you’s Garden Party dress has inspired me to try one for Miss 6 1/2 (recently finished the Lunch Box culottes, and a Badminton top for this child). Last December, I cut out a Hopscotch skirt for her but when I got it out last night,…[Read more]

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), there’s not really such a thing as one-stop shopping in NYC. We have such a broad variety of options here, it’s impossible to put it all in one place. Like Sarvi said, it really depends on what you’re hoping to find. If you’re looking for a broad variety of quilting cottons try City…[Read more]

April, stitch the first row of basting along the line you transferred, just as it says in the instructions. The dot shows where to begin and end the basting/gathering so the gathers won’t continue into the side seam or seam allowances. It’s been a long time since I wrote this pattern, but looking at it now it appears that the dot really could have…[Read more]
