Oooh, Bistro sew-a-long, please! I printed mine off yesterday.

Yes, we could do a sew-along! You may need to give me a little time to prepare for that. We’ve got the School Days Jacket coming up next month, and then the holidays will be upon us, but maybe in January? We’d also like to do a Bistro Dress sew-along.

Ahhh, my apologies Cindy – missed that you don’t have enough…go for the contrast 🙂

I like contrast belt idea, and I think teal sounds amazing!
I, personally, would have just the belt as contrast and have neutral buttons, black, bone or leather. Consider a buckle rather then a tie. I made one for Tildy with a vintage buckle Karen sent me https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/9689562427/in/set-72157632815351345

I love all those color pairings!
I wish I could find more of the mustard Lisette twill but even a search through etsy and ebay didn’t turn any up. I suppose I could look at my local fabric store for a Kona cotton in the same color since I have enough of the twill for everything but the belt and facings.
I’m doing my best to only use stash…[Read more]

There really aren’t many images to be found! Here were a few I found, not sure if you’ve seen these already:

I love mustard paired with that deep eggplant purple, or raspberry (love that outfit, B) – but not sure about using it for a belt (yes with the facings though) – you could always make one of each colour and see 🙂

I think it could be really cute with the tie and buttons pulling the look together, or even like Sarvi’s last example with piping.
*If* you like bold colors (you know I do!), my favorite pairing with mustard is raspberry, though this is more hot pink than raspberry: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52761227@N04/9974306704/in/set-72157630670704608/

Not the right colors, but:

Hello and welcome Schor. You’ve made more of a head start on the Ltts book items than I have. I think I need to get a move on and there is just simply no excuse!
Daughters are great to sew for not to mention sons. It is the best thing since sliced breas to be able to sew anything at all in my opinion.

Yay Fiona and wagyu
That is awesome 🙂

*snap*!

There isn’t much ease between the waist and the waistband, so it might be a good idea to go back and check each step and all your markings? Or could the waist have stretched?

Could you increase the size of the darts in the back to take up some of the ease?
