I’d call it more of a blazer than a jacket, per se. You probably wouldn’t be able to layer a sweater under it, but you could wear it over a light blouse or T-shirt.

When I click either link or reply nothing happens.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years agoThe hem tucks I was referring to are also called growth tucks.

Lots of great reading and some great tips.
After quizzing my chiblings we worked out the most worn was this https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/5444046339/in/set-72157625138776927
A Sailboat top in navy/white cotton lycra. Liddy is now wearing it after it was passed on to the Twins. -

*From memory* you will need to add maybe an inch or so to the top of the shorts?
I would add extra, sort of pin (with safety pins) the skirt and shorts together, and try them on the child.If you take out the placket, make sure the skirt will be wide enough to pull up.
I, very recently, added the Tea Party bloomers to the Hopscotch skirt, it…[Read more]

I found the Sunday Brunch a fait-to-generous fit. I would not have layered it over a jumper (sweater) but my girls always got a good amount of wear from their corresponding size.
The added bonus is it looks really cute a little fitted.

(this is the 6-12 months on my 18…[Read more] -

This is a fun thread! Thanks for starting it, Nicole.:)
Hands down, the most worn O+S item in our house:

Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum
Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years agoWhenever possible, I use the tucked hem method on O+S patterns. On occasion, I’ve made 2 tucks on the hem and added embroidery on one of the tucks.
I’d like to see pin tucks on the Lullaby (onesie). You could figure out how much width to add to the front pieces saving me the effort (LOL!) because as you know my sewing room is in dispose.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years agoHi all! We’ve got an upcoming post over on the O+S blog about using the “heirloom technique” of tucks in Oliver and S Patterns. Not the ones that already have them….like the Family Reunion or Music Class…but thinking out of the box a bit more. Anyway, we’ve selected 2 O+S patterns to incorporate tucks within. QUESTION: Which patterns would you…[Read more]

My sweet Liddy turned 11 today and I made her a red sunhat, at her request.
It was the Sunkissed sunhat but I did go all LTTS bucket hat on the construction. -

I thought hard about this one, cause it’s a great question – then, I realized that the answer was right in front of me – 100% definitely, the most worn and least worn are from the same pattern – my daughter has worn these pajama bottoms probably about 5 days out of 7 – they are now half-way up her shins, yet she still wears them. The flannel is…[Read more]

Welcome back Becky, I hope the unpacking goes well.
I finished Tildy’s Field Trip outfit. Huge success, my girly girl loves her velvet farm trousers.
Next up a knit Music Class blouse and knit Lunch Box culottes for a sneaky school uniform for Liddy.
