Todd Gibson replied to the topic spring 2015 patterns – when?? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
You can think of the book which will be out in September as one gigantic huge Oliver + S pattern. Or a large number of patterns.
But that’s all I’m saying for now….

😳 my message disappeared!!!
@cybele727 so glad you “found” the popover.
@motherof5 guess what?! I found some denim/wool blend!!! At my local Spotlight!!! I told the woman at the counter they won the fabric lotto. There were two kinds, one that had this plush look about it almost like corduroy but not and a gold/blue thing happening. The other…[Read more]

Why don’t you colour block and cut the 2 for the top and then make it wider, gradually, with a bit of trimming as you go?

I can’t decide which is my size
Do I go by my waist or my thighs? -

@eboyd83 I have tried a few but my latest ones are from Cash’s name labels.
They have been the best, and if you contact them directly they will do a large bulk order.

There is rumoured to be a new book
The cover, it has a good look
But I just can’t decide
If I step up or hide
Perhaps a challenge to be undertook(I know, bad past tense 🙂 )

Jenny, I get “rattled” watching what is happening in the US. And it’s hard to work in the industry you do.
Sew something pretty. Hug your kids.
So wish I could just pop by for a gab and some stitching. Hang in there.

So I measured Ms. 6.5. Her chest is 22.5 inches, which is a size 2. The length she needs is 27 inches. That’s about a size 7. Generally I am making size 7 dresses for her (eg- the hopscotch).
I can’t see cutting a size 2 width and a size 7 length!
Got advice? (other than make a muslin… I am lazy today and need a quick fix for finding my mojo!1)

So I have been in an absolute FUNK. 🙁
This primary election business is getting to me because of all the vitriol and I can’t simply turn away because it is our future. (US) (That’s all I will say about politics here.)
And work has been icky. I’ve had to deal with more people who think that fists are an acceptable form of communication…[Read more]

Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Merino source in the forum off topic 9 years ago
I’m wearing a merino fleece Metro T right now! Have a look at http://www.thefabricstore.com.au the have an L.A. store so US shipping should be reasonable.
There’s an amazing outdoor fabric supplier in the UK that I’ve purchased from, and I keep finding one in Canada when I’m searching online, but I forget the name…. -

Our summer trip is to Glacier National Park which reads cold nights for my Florida kids. I want to make a few fieldtrip Ragland and leggings in either a merino knit or thin fleece. Does anyone have any favorite sources for high quality technical fabrics online?

Oh I love it Heidi! It is so comfortable that I confess to living in it a bit too much since it was made. It has the stains of life on it😜.
I am tossing up what to use to make another whilst struggling to type this and contain a climbing toddler at the same time. I have more kaufman laguna knit but I also want to make an Appleton top.
I know it…[Read more]

@justsewit, you could always send her a friendship request. Once it is accepted you’ll be able to send a private message.

Thankyou @todd the latter is the answer. It is such a pity this had to change all for the sake of someone getting kicks out of stupid emails. But it is safety first and that is what matters.
Thanks again!

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Help with fitting at back please! in the forum liesl + co: bistro dress 9 years ago
Yes, I think @justsewit might be right. It’s difficult to tell from the photos, but you might want to try a swayback adjustment. Or maybe you just need to take in the hips more? It sort of looks like if you pin the hips, especially at the back, to be a little tighter you’ll eliminate the drag lines. It definitely doesn’t need to be looser–overall…[Read more]
