Those trousers were purchased for the shoot, but if you can hold on a few more weeks we might have something in the fall lineup that appeals to you…

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Cartwheel dress wear in the forum oliver + s: cartwheel 6 years ago
What about sewing a little velcro to the piece to hold them together. I think I have an old wrap dress where my mom did this to keep everything in place. (Which for some reason reminds me of the time mom sewed me a sundress that I wore to church and she decided it showed too much from the side and made me wear a shirt under it from then on……[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Sizing/Knits/neck size large enough for head? in the forum oliver + s: cartwheel 6 years ago
I’d recommend that you look at the finished measurements for this style. You’ll want to choose your size based mostly on the chest, but check that the waist is more or less in line with what you need. The skirt is flared so the hip doesn’t matter. In terms of where the waist hits, definitely hold the pattern up to her to check whether you like the…[Read more]

Ooh, you’re thinking like me right now! About to do something similar with one of our upcoming fall patterns as a tutorial!

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Help with FBA larger than D-cup in the forum liesl + co: weekend getaway blouse + dress 6 years ago
I think it would be worth a try to spread it by 1 1/2, but I would definitely suggest making a muslin since the dart may become quite large, you may want to adjust it, etc. I hope it works out!

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Bodysuit finished length – chart error? in the forum oliver + s: lullaby 6 years ago
Well, it appears that the error correction contained an error! So sorry about that. The correct length measurements for the bodysuit are as follows:
- 0-3 M: 14″
- 3-6 M: 15 1/2″
- 6-12 M: 17″
- 12-18 M: 18 1/2″
- 18-24 M: 20″
The previously issued errata for this has been updated.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Serger Problems! in the forum off topic 6 years ago
Sounds like a job for your local service center! I know nothing about machines or sergers and can’t offer any help or suggestions, but I do know that it’s enormously beneficial to have someone knowledgeable who can service your machines. It’s a good idea to have them tuned up and serviced every year at the minimum and worth every penny in…[Read more]

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Bodysuit finished length – chart error? in the forum oliver + s: lullaby 6 years ago
Yes, you are right! There is an error in the length measurement. We’re so sorry about that. We’ll issue an errata and update the pattern shortly. But in the meantime, the correct length measurements for the bodysuit should be:
- 0-3 M: 15.75″
- 3-6 M: 17.75″
- 6-12M: 18.75″
- 12-18M: 20″
- 18-24M: 21.5″

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Gaping Pockets in the forum liesl + co: city stroll wrap skirt 6 years ago
So it sounds like the pocket edge either stretched a bit during construction or pocket is slightly smaller than the front skirt. You could try ripping out the side seam at the spot where the pocket meets the side seam and below and pull the front skirt a bit tighter before re-sewing it. In other words, leave the panel above the pocket as is but…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Placement of shoulder seam in the forum liesl + co: terrace dress 6 years ago
Glad you like it! I forget how much exactly, but I think it’s just moved forward 1/2″ It just gives a better fit, in my opinion. You can check the distance by laying the garment flat from the underarm seam. It’s not really a big deal, I just think it looks better when it’s worn.

Tamara replied to the topic PDF pattern purchases in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 6 years ago
Thanks Todd
It’s a shame because I did use it. I seem to be notorious for doubling and tripling up, even though I have a good system for paper patterns. I just didn’t want to do the same with he pdf’s. Yes going through the list of purchases is what I did do.
Thanks again.

Todd Gibson replied to the topic PDF pattern purchases in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 6 years ago
Tamara,
Last year we upgraded our PDF delivery module. The upgrade provides a more robust and flexible method for delivering PDFs, but one of the things we lost was that single consolidated list of all PDFs you had ever purchased that used to appear on your order history page. (It’s been gone for almost a year now, and this is the first question…[Read more]

Ha ha! I go out of my way to avoid all celebrity gossip and even I haven’t been able to avoid that news! What about something inspired by one of William and Katherine’s kids’ outfits? (I hope I got their names right?) I’ve seen a few photos of some really cute clothes–and they qualify and prince and princess, right?

The Roller Skate would be a great back drop to appliquéd bunting.

Hi,
Just wondering about the change in being able to see our PDF purchases? I could have sworn last time I was able to see my huge list and how many downloads I had on each.
I’m in the process of upgrading some patterns due to my youngest now measuring more of a 4 than a 3. I would dearly love to know if we can still access our PDF list again s…[Read more]

@softwareandstitches I found this one https://www.craftsy.com/sewing/patterns/a-guide-to-schmetz-sewing-needles/236850 I couldn’t search for you yesterday as I was on my phone.
My favourite is size 10, It seems to sew best on my machine, a Bernina semi-industrial. I am pretty fussy about changing them after hitting a pin or 12 hours sewing time.…[Read more]
