Cybele – I am so sorry. What a lot to be crowded into such a short period of time. I hope that sewing room gets up and running pronto, in the meantime you and your family will be in my prayers. Hugs to you!

Nicole replied to the topic Best O +S pattern to use to make jeans? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Awww, thank you Melani and Shelley.
I agree, I think denim maketh the jeans, not just the pattern.

I think Badminton would make a fantastic nightgown. Though I also have a Kwik Sew pattern that I love for nighties.
Masha Richart replied to the topic The size 5 project in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

@sahmcolorado I think I will be doing this for my oldest girl too! She still takes a 2 or 3 width in the dress patterns but she needs 6 for length.
