The body measurement chart for the Building Block Dress pattern is found on page 40 of the book in the lower left corner of the page.

We have also added it to the website’s product page for the book now.

@krisherber the body measurements for the basis pattern are given on page 40 of the book in the lower left corner of the page.

Oh, this is amazing! Thank you so much, @timpson! @Robin, if you have a chance to look for it, I’m very interested in it. I’ve been told it’s a knit, but it doesn’t really look like it in the photo, does it?

I’ve made the cargos with reinforced knees.
This photo links to the flicker tutorial I made for the double knees on the cargos.

As soon as I understood what the book was I thought of that tee you made, Lightning 🙂

Liesl, Fabricana is in my neck of the woods. I can check out the one in Coquitlam and Richmond if you would like.

Thank you Teresa !

The Building Block T-Shirt Book (not real) is my pet project 😅
I can’t wait to see what I can take from the dress book and do with a School Bus tee.
Here’s a t-shirt modification that never made it to the Oliver + S blog as a tutorial, for reasons that are now obvious!

I’ll have to sew an exposed zipper one day and catch him out!

Thanks, @Tineke! That’s a great start. I appreciate your help and I’ll let you know if I locate it.

@theartsypaul yes there is. It’s called the Building Block Dress. If you look at some of the recent blog posts on the book, you’ll see it discussed there.

Next week 🙁
I might have a good look and see if I can make it work before the Facebook deadline.

Yep, the City Stroll skirt.
The Everyday Skirt is fuller and therefore more fabric hungry.
