Well done Tamara!
I helped my nephew sew about half of his new onesie, we were covered in bits of black and yellow fluff from the coral fleece. He did really well, including inserting the zip and making pockets.
Then my niece, who is 6, unpicked (by herself) the straps on the bag she made a few weeks ago. And reattached them, and the Velcro, to…[Read more]

If anyone is after a sugar free carrot cake recipe then have a look at this one:

@with-love-heidi that vest is so smart! Love the pop of color in the lining.

What a generous offer, @needlewoman! I love this great group we have here!

This will be a good challenge for me. I’m not really a masher upper and I don’t know why, I always like the results other folks get quite a bit.

Hi All,

So I think we’ve settled on a new challenge.

Details:

Reveal date: Feburary 5, 2016 Because end of year craziness and you have PLENTY of time to brainstorm, plan, and execute.

“Rules”: Mash-up one or more O +S pattern. Because we are so “rule” bound over here! 🙂

FAQ: Can I use non O+S? Sure… but the idea is that it is…[Read more]

Sorry, just realised that Nicole also suggested the Ice Cream dress. I really recommend that pattern, and I’d be happy to help out if you haven’t time/cash to buy pattern.
needlewoman replied to the topic Altering for large body type in the forum oliver + s: garden party 10 years ago

Other than my suggestion, all the other advice from far more experienced sewists sounds spot on. The Garden Party is good pattern for widening the chest/waist/skirt without distorting the line of the original pattern.
needlewoman replied to the topic Altering for large body type in the forum oliver + s: garden party 10 years ago

At the risk of being unhelpful, would ‘Mama’ come at the Ice Cream dress for her girl? The pattern is extremely roomy, and it’s likely that the size 12 would give your client plenty of room, and disguise the chest, and tummy. (I do sympathise; altho not terribly overweight at the onset of puberty, I was rather ‘bolster shaped’ for a couple of…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6244 Coat Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 10 years ago

That sounds like a fantastic solution, @mychurchdoll! I was also thinking that a bias binding could be really pretty and simple for a very thick fabric that won’t cooperate with hemming.
with love Heidi replied to the topic Altering for large body type in the forum oliver + s: garden party 10 years ago

I’d go with Nicole’s recommendation. Although I sew for many children they have all been long and skinny so I haven’t had to do any experience sewing for overweight kids.
with love Heidi replied to the topic Monochrome Project- B&W in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Thanks Cybele for the clarification 🙂 Planning my first mashup. Class picnic top meets swing set skirt with shirring on the back, extra puffy sleeves and petals as an oversight! The dress was designed by my 7 year old niece. And a she would like a bonnet to go with it 🙂
