That pattern has just been an OK seller. It was only selling at about half the monthly volume we would need to see to justify a reprint. And it doesn’t sell very well in digital format.
People who sew it seem to really like it, but it’s probably our most difficult pattern. And that puts a lot of people off. Easier patterns always sell better than…[Read more]

Oh, that’s a good point — the PDFs can reach a wider audience.You probably know about this shop in Islington already but I remember seeing them there, maybe they’ll have it? http://www.raystitch.co.uk/

Thanks SO much for doing this! It’s downloaded, printed, and being colored in by my daughter right now – perfect for the “I’m bored” morning she’s having today.

Britteny’s right. The darts don’t start until the size 2T. Below that they’re left out ’cause most toddlers have bellies bigger than their chests.
I’d start with the 18-24m size and cut the lining fabric (assuming it’s a cotton voile or something not too fancy) and use that as a muslin. Baste it and if it fits then there’s your lining already cut. -

Thank you so much for compiling all the line drawings and sharing them, Lotta! You’re awesome!

You are all welcome! I’m so happy you like it. 😀
I’ve had parts of it sitting on my computer for months and months and it didn’t feel right not to share!

I’m so surprised this one didn’t have the needed sales for another print run! This seems like everybody’s go-to fancy dress pattern.

Fantastic idea!! Can’t wait to share with the nieces {although it may be used for more “coloring”, than designing….initially}!

This is going to make such a fantastic mom/kid project, thank you! LOTTA, YOU’RE BRILLIANT!

You are amazing, Lotta! I am so excited to print these off.

Brittney replied to the topic What size muslin should I go with? in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 11 years ago
I don’t think the smaller sizes have the darts, I think just 2T, maybe 3T have them. I have a paper copy and it’s in with a sleeping baby or I would check for sure.

What a wonderful idea Sherry! I find my girls often have trouble visualising what a dress will look like in fabric. Cutting out inside the lines would definitely help! I may pick you up on that.

Sherry replied to the topic Oliver + S Colouring Book in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 11 years ago
Lotta, what a thoughtful thing to do, thank you. I have downloaded and will print them all onto card stock, then cut out inside the lines to place over fabric to help granddaughter imagine what each outfit will look like finished.
Also going to give her mum a copy so they can work out next seasons wardrobe. Great way to build a wardrobe and…[Read more]

I cobbled together a colouring book with the Oliver + S line drawings from the back of the pattern envelopes. You can find a download link on the blog post linked above.

@Yirg You might be able to buy a copy from a store, for exmple in the UK the smaller size in paper is available here http://www.eternalmaker.com/fairy-tale-dress-pattern-oliver-s
I’ll definitely be buying it in the smaller size in paper now I know that it’s not being reprinted!
