Oh, dresses with matching boomers are so cute!
Art Museum finished and put in the flicker pool. Now onto hemming my dress 🙂

For who knows what reason I am unable to view flickr (arrgh!) but yes, it should be vvvvvvvvvvv rather than >>>>>>>>>

Nothing to add to Nicole’s excellent advice, but good luck, I’m sure both the kid and the parents will be delighted to have a special, pretty dress!

I have a 4 day long weekend! I hope today I can finish off the Art Museum vest and hem my Appleton dress. And maybe make a Jalie Bella dress. I hope over this weekend I might be able to finish off my nieces quilt, it’s the last one of 4 tops I made nearly 5 years ago.
And tomorrow I get to help my nephew sew I himself a new onesie!

Just wondering about the definition of a mashup. Is it limited to combining 2 or more Oliver and S patterns or can it also include changing up an Oliver and S pattern and combining an Oliver and S pattern with another pattern.
I hope and suspect that all these options are fine as we are a generous and relaxed community, but I thought I’d just check 🙂

Thank you so much for the suggestion, I will try binding the piping seam allowance.

😃 @jwo until you’ve tried to intubate a rabbit, you know nothing of difficult airways!
I’d find all of that fascinating!

I also looked at the date and thought May 🙂
Feb is great, it gives me my favourite sewing month.

@jwo I’m very strong and good at carrying bags! 💪😃

Mash-up challenge:

“Reveal date”: 2/5/16?
Flickr tag: “oliverandsmashup” ?

Any other rules/parameters?

Although we want something new, should we go back and tag old stuff, like my jumprope with library sleeves, because so many of us have mashed up without thinking of it that way?

Once we set them up, I will start a new thread!

I’ve hosted a few NYC shopping trips in my time. Would love to do it again someday if there’s enough interest!

Pattern mash up/hack, yes please!
One of my favourite type’s of sewing 🙂

Pattern mash-up sounds quite challenging. I know that when I did the jumprope and had to mash up Library dress sleeves with the jumprope sleeve head I was quite satisfied when it turned out loverly.

I do know that that type of work takes more time, and we are approaching the holiday hectic season… at least here in the states, you have…[Read more]

@mmollett here’s a link to a blog post right here on Oliver + S where I’ve shown how to do a placket just like that one.
