rebecca replied to the topic Sketchbook shirt for a girl. in the forum oliver + s: sketchbook 9 years ago
I was just contemplating this last week. I don’t yet own the sketchbook, but was planning to order for daughter. I ordered the music class blouse, as I liked the tucks in the front. Plus, I liked the option of the mandarin collar, AND I the cute skirt comes with it. 🙂
My daughter wears a lot of button-ups!

rebecca replied to the topic Buying a pattern for one view – making the other. in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
So funny! I was chatting with my hubby about that last night, too! I do that, too. I often wait to buy a pattern, and then when I finally do, I’m frustrated at myself I didn’t but it earlier, so I could have made more!

Shoot. Another brick wall. The store emailed to tell it was out of stock. :/ Anyone else has seen it at their online purveyors?!

Thanks, @Jennifer That was perfect, and I scooped up a few other paper patterns I wanted in the larger sizes. 😀

Thanks for the tip! Although they do have it in-stock, they don’t ship overseas. Darn! The hunt continues…

Have any of y’all seen an online shop that sells the paper pattern for the larger Sailboat top/pants? I realize it’s a discontinued pattern (now available in digital), but I want to find it in paper! I wonder if I’m just out of luck (for the time being), or if someone has stumbled upon one for sale recently? I’m in the USA.
Thanks!!

rebecca replied to the topic Stabilizing knit seams? in the forum oliver + s: field trip 9 years ago
Okay; finally tried this, yesterday. No luck! Those suckers wouldn’t lay flat. I had already felted the fabric, so no need to worry about felting it (again)…
I realized I have two options; leave it off completely, or hand-sew it. It’s pajamas…guess which one I chose. 😉 She woke up saying last night was her most “confident night” (meaning com…[Read more]

I’m making my raglan (for my daughter) out of organic wool jersey; but that stuff curls horribly! I can manage for the hems, but on the neckline, it’s too many curling pieces (and small pieces!) to manage.
How would y’all recommend dealing with the curling on the jersey? [I’ve seen the recommendations for starch, but because it’s a protein…[Read more]

I just finished cutting out Field Trip Raglan tee and Playtime leggings in organic wool jersey for pajamas (natural color). I live in San Francisco, so our “winter” is in the Summertime, when the fog rolls in nightly — it gets super cold and wet.

Hello, fellow seamsters. The time has come that I admit that I can’t sew all the patterns before my daughter grows into a size 5. Thus, I’m selling the collection of patterns that I never got to use (all NEW) to any who have been hoping to collect some of these in paper!

rebecca replied to the topic I *really* want to sew a tent/trapeze dress — which Liesl + Co or Lisette?? in the forum Sewing for Yourself 9 years ago
@Liesl — I know, I covet most of Rachel Comey’s designs!! I love the simple minimalism of them.

HAHA. Now I’ll have to post a draft of my first try, since it’s become a project of collaboration. I’ll try both a knit (from the Liesl tee) and a woven (from Diplomat) to compare!
When posting that link, I hadn’t even realized that I could by a PDF version of the Diplomat dress. How modern!

And it looks like the Lisette 1878 would be a great start, too, since there is no seaming below the bust (in front), and in back, I could simply release the darts, and shorten the zipper. What fun to explore this idea. Thanks for the idea; I really hadn’t even thought of starting with a top, which really makes it so…[Read more]

@rpankow what a lovely idea, to start with a top!!! I want to make one out of woven (linen, perhaps), as well, so I’ll peruse some of the older lisette fitted tops to see if any oblige. Thanks!

Well, looking at the Gallery dress, it seem like the easiest to alter. When looking at the design sketch, it is the closest, I believe. Any other thoughts?
