katybellabug started the topic Has anyone added extra booty room? in the forum oliver + s: class picnic 10 years ago

I have just made up a pair of size 10 picnic shorts and after trying them on her, they are a little snug around the bottom.
Otherwise the fit is fine.
I made them from a stretch woven but it still too tight.

I am not sure how to alter them, should I just slash and spread (which is my usual method) and if I do, where? and how do I alter the…[Read more]

My goodness, I had forgotten all about that beautiful dress!

Good on you Heidi. I donated a tub of cut out WIP’s last year. Very cathartic. I am like an ex-smoker now. I cut-I sew. I am terrified of going back to that!

Tonight I finished Zara’s Lisette Moto jacket (B6169). We went with the size 6 with an inch off the waist. Zara chose the leftovers from Hugo’s jacket, charcoal wool and we splurged on some…[Read more]

@roundtheworldgirl how did the velvet playdate turn out? Did you make it in the end? I must wanted to find out as I am considering this pattern for some double velvet I purchased recently, but am at a loss as to what to use for the yoke as I don’t have any in white.

@Deepa that is a good thought.

I am planning a pair in the smallest size to be made with drill. So will see if it has something to do with the fabric.
Tamara replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

It’s sort of to take over from the ill fated music class shirt – which will be looked at and hopefully correctly completed soon. I made a pair of pink playtime leggings and the liberty pepler will go with it so there is another outfit sorted.

I don’t feel like sewing corduroy at the moment. The weather is just too hot! Everywhere else in…[Read more]

I have decided to try a hide and seek tunic from the liberty pepper. So I have cut one out, sort of, and intend on sewing it up by the end of the week.

@cybele727 I washed/steamed before re-attaching the collar.
cybele727 replied to the topic Parachute Polo Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 10 years ago

Heidi, I feel better knowing I am not alone in the fold/unfold the placket issue!

Brittney, did you wash and steam the neck before adding the collar back on to see if it would rebound/fit? Or was this after?

I think I am going to cut a a larger sized collar in muslin and see if it fits. I just can’t figure out what I did wrong. But as I will…[Read more]
