Liesl, would it be pretty simple to change the width of the spaghetti strap? Feels like an easy modification.

Racer backs are great for working out. Easy to wear with a sports bra.

My sewing machine’s gathering dust …
My scissors have started to rust …
The pins,they are lonely
I would use them, if only…
Nicole replied to the topic Sewing with smooth/slippery fabrics in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I tend to shop by feel and drape so I am not much help with names…

May I say, if anyone makes you feel bad, they are the jerks, not you!

You ask your questions, only a stupid person stops learning.

Shirts with two piece collars and cuff plackets are always on my radar.
I would love your instructions for these.

Cargo shorts, something like the Field Trip with no waist band/elastic back casing would be great as work/casual wear.

We love our food @lisamm Thank you for the suggestion. My Biggies were ‘Smash’ fans so when we saw the exhibition flyer, we booked extra days accommodation so we could see it.
Nicole replied to the topic another question! in the forum Sewing for Yourself 9 years ago

My girls and I love racer back tops. We work out and have nice shoulders and want to show them.

I don’t find visible bra straps a problem and younger women don’t mind at all.

Spaghetti straps are very pretty too. I wouldn’t wear them to sit in the sun all day but otherwise, very cool and comfortable.

Would love to go but I’m in the west so it would be a hefty drive. Had the season been much better for us last year, we would have been able to plan a trip to Victoria to visit family and look around. I hope there will be something as equally fantastic in the future so we might be able to “take a jaunt” out there and look.

Ok, I need your input again. What are your feelings about spaghetti straps. For yourself, I mean. Will you wear them? And what about shirts with racer backs? Too hard to wear with a bra?
Sarvi replied to the topic sewing for men in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

Swim trunks that are not board shorts (he has a pair that are a bit more tailored which he loves) and a slim button-up shirt, please!

This denim it just will not stretch
When I wear it I feel I must retch
So tight ’round my guts
I have back and front butts…
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Cotton/nylon blend fabric? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Thanks for reminding me of Ashley’s fabric sourcing tips. A pair of cargo shorts in that kind of nylon blend is exactly what my husband would want me to sew for him (getting my threads crossed)

It’s a pity it isn’t touring😕
Tamara replied to the topic sewing for men in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

Yes a resounding yes! My almost eleven year old son has well and truly outgrown Oliver and s and I have been hard pressed to find anything decent and age appropriate ever since. My husband also desperately needs some new things and is a “hard to fit” man because he is very very broad and I have had no end of trouble trying to find things to sew…[Read more]

As I’m developing some new patterns I’ve been wondering: how many of you sew or would like to sew for the men in your life? And what would you like to sew for them?
