I am with Heidi on this one. This is a dress that will look okay a bit big, particularly if you have a bow to cinch it in at the waist, it also looks very pretty swinging a little free.

You sound as if you really want to make it? So make it in the 2T and it will fit, at some point. You can always add a largish hem too.

Sounds like I need to photograph and sort. Woo hoo, that is therapy to me!
Nicole replied to the topic What's for Tea Today, Mum? A cooking thread. in the forum Cooking and Baking 9 years ago

Tonight, http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/24751/classic+moussaka, as I was given 3 beautiful glossy egg plants.
I added extra garlic, salt and pepper as well as salting my egg plant before cooking it.

@FrancesSuzanne, I did a lot but it was pretty simple and quick.
I love silk thread.

Let me know regarding the mags, no hurry, I have a huge storage area.
Nicole started the topic Smocking in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years ago

I feel a bit of a fraud here 🙂 I was heavily into smocking and embroidery in the late 90’s and early 00’s but my style has changed somewhat.
My claim to fame is I grew up in the town that Country Bumpkin was started and went to school with Margie Bauer and Lib Rayner’s daughters (the clever sisters who’s started A S&E).

Hugo (18) had smocked…[Read more]

Lotta, your food sounds so amazing!

I made this soup last week, https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143880130031/, I substituted light sour cream and used extra garlic.
Five hungry little Keller’s knocked off a double batch for tea.

Nicole replied to the topic Full bust adjustment in the forum liesl + co: woodland stroll cape 9 years ago

*I have not made this* but I have seen lots of different versions on lots of body shapes. I think it has enough ease not to need a FBA.

I am very happy to be corrected 🙂
Nicole replied to the topic Finishing a lace edge? in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 9 years ago

This is definitely Melanie’s field, @Willanna. I have a blog post here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143875948321/ in which I underlined velvet spotted tulle.

However, I would use this method http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/added-a-skirt-lining-how-do-i-sew-the-zipper for the lining.

Good luck!
Nicole replied to the topic Most and Least Worn O+S Outfit? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

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.
Nicole replied to the topic 2+2 skort in the forum oliver + s: 2 + 2 9 years ago

*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]
Nicole replied to the topic Fit on Sunday Brunch in the forum oliver + s: sunday brunch 9 years ago

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]

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.
