Thanks for the reassurance. I can’t wait to cut a few more. I felt like I was secretly at work in my pajamas all day. I think I’ve found my winter uniform!

Looks like you did it perfectly! A boxy dress with dropped shoulder is going to have a boxy fit. Thus the lines. It’s normal for this style. The dress looks great on you!

That’s the right photo, @joslyn. You can see the full worksheet for the dress on page 20, including a sketch of the skirt on that particular dress–it’s added to an empire waist in this instance.

Try again!

@rleibman I love everything about this question!!!
If I’m right, you’re a bloke, making a quilted Star Trek jumpsuit?! Damn, that’s a high five right there!
The tutorial is great. I’ve never read a sewing tutorial written for men and the walking foot hamburger analogy is fantastic!
Anyway, to answer your question… Yes, they intend for you to use…[Read more]

Bump

It’s not an option written into the pattern as it requires redrafting the front panels.
You can either make it a single, non overlapping closure with a zipper, or insert a zipper into the underlying facing and keep the buttons over the top.
Deb describes and shows the second option very well on her blog. Link :…[Read more]

Linda, please email information@oliverands.com with information about where you purchased and proof of purchase and we’ll get you all taken care of here.

I suspect that those sort of wrinkles indicate too much ‘length’ in that area but that would be flat pattern adjustment and it’s too late for that now. And I could be totally wrong 😃
If you put them on inside out and pinch then pin out the excess fabric into the side seam you should be able to get a good fit. Just be careful to keep your pocket…[Read more]

Hi @fitdoc Ava

Apologies for the silence, @dids! I’m traveling, with limited access to my computer. If I recall correctly, you attach the elastic to both front edges of only the fabric A jacket. So right side and left side. Does that make sense? I hope it helps.

The dress looks awesome @caraskates. I’m assuming the embroidery was done by machine?

Ok, sewists, I need your help! I’m ready to send out testing packages for our next Liesl + Co patterns, and I’m looking for two specific sizes:

I need someone who wears a C-cup (2″ different between your high bust and full bust) for a shirt pattern.

I’m also looking for someone who wears a size 16, 18, or 20 to test a shorts and a skirt pattern.…[Read more]

That’s a great idea! I do seem to always have a few extra blocks lying around and don’t know what to do with them, even though I’m not a big quilter. And after my daughter’s recent birthday, I felt just awful about the enormous pile of gift wrap we recycled. A nice reusable gift bag is much better!

There is an errata notice for that pattern that might address this issue:

Errata
In the first printing of this pattern there was a minor error in the instructions. In the second column on page 4, the bottom two illustrations have the fabric right side-fabric wrong side shading reversed. Where you see the fabric right side illustrated,…

Answered in the other thread you’d posted in.
Glad you found this one though, as the tips re cords are worth noting.
