Hi all,

So I think I figured out why the polo placket was giving some of you issues. We’ve issued an errata for the pattern, so check the page before you sew your next one. However, rest assured that if you’ve already started sewing one it will still work without the corrections! You’ll just apply the collar a little differently and start from…[Read more]

I added an inch to the centre front fold and the back for a baby Bubble dress, it was a lovely poofi-ness.

I am just finished with the scallops on the Badminton skort. I made up a pair of the shorts on their own with a ‘slash and spread’ adjustment and have just checked the fit, which is wonderful! So I can safely cut out another pair to go under the skirt and complete my skort.

Here you are @SC

I have started sewing up my first Badminton top today and am having that feeling of giddy excitement that comes with making up an O+S pattern for the first time! Isn’t it a pretty top?!
Glad to see others are in the process of using the pattern too. I spend the better part of yesterday morning tracing off everything in a size 10, so am intending…[Read more]

All of our knit patterns have additional tips and guidance included in the instructions, so that’s probably a good place to start as well. It’s not very difficult, and it’s actually much faster than sewing with wovens, so don’t be intimidated!

If you do decide to taper the legs, the one piece of quick advice I’d give you is to taper equally from the inseam and the outseam. You can narrow any pattern this way (or widen it, for that matter) if you keep that in mind. And yes, sew the rise and then pin the seams to adjust as needed.

Thank you @justsewit , a new lens prescription and the advice to keep an eye on her. No drops today but I can understand your little mans reluctance, the Twins said they do sting a bit.

@dubhels2003 I am sorry for her. I can remember Chicken Pox and bathing with a calico sachet of oats in the water.

I am heading to the city so shall have good internet for the day but not for a fun reason. Lidia (11) is having vision problems and I ranG her ophthalmologist and he wanted to see her ASAP.
Fingers crossed it is just a lens adjustment.

@EllenMCM it was a really good sew.
I used the Lisette blog sew-a-long method and bagged the lining. I had started with the paper pattern but got stuck on the zipper insertion. The paper pattern is incorrect.
Once I went to the blog I zoomed along.
It was 6 hours sewing time and I altered the waist for Zara (15). I think it would be good to alter…[Read more]

I love what this clever girl has done

The elegant colours with the white hem and white pocket tops. Just lovely!
