thejennigirl replied to the topic Seam finishes when overlaying with tulle in the forum oliver + s: garden party 10 years ago

I did something similar the first time I made this pattern.

I had to sew the skirt side seams in layers; the base fabric was french seamed, the overlay was french seamed, and then I put the 2 layers of skirt together before attaching to the bodice. For the bodice, I basted and then sewed the side seams wrong side together, ironed (I have an iron…[Read more]
dubhels2003 started the topic Seam finishes when overlaying with tulle in the forum oliver + s: garden party 10 years ago

I’m making a garden party in slinky lilac/blue synthetic fabric, which I have overlaid with a nylon lilac/blue tulle. I have cut the tulle longer than the dress.

I’m close to…[Read more]

My little girl is about to outgrow
Her coat, her frock and chapeau
I’d better get sewing

I should have updated with pictures, eh?

I didn’t have enough time to make and finish the chain mail shirt, but he claimed that the shirt would have been too uncomfortable and itchy after he wore the fitted chain mail hood all day. I am glad the weather was beautiful and unseasonably warm on Thursday for the fair itself, as there was no school on…[Read more]

I’ve woken up with a very sore throat
It feels like I swallowed a goat
I can’t find my pins
My brain has the spins
I’ve sewn the sleeves to the hem of my coat

Kim replied to the topic New Checklist in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

The checklist above is the current one. I intended to make the updated list a while ago but I have an issue from transferring between different versions of the software. I will make the list as soon as I get the new software.

It sounds like you’ve got some great plans! I can’t wait to see everything you’re sewing.
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Gallery Tunic + Dress Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 10 years ago

Vanahsa, I’m so glad you’re joining us! The FBA is really quite simple, and we’re here (also in Spain–we live in Madrid) if you need anything. Let us know if you have questions!
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Gallery Tunic + Dress Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 10 years ago

Addie, good question! There is quite a bit of design ease in this pattern, so you are correct that you may not need to do the FBA. If you’ve checked the fit and it seems to drape fine, you’re probably safe to go ahead with it as is. But if you’re unsure, it might be a good idea to try adding the sleeves and placket just to be sure. Based on the…[Read more]
