justsewit replied to the topic Help me enjoy knitting again in the forum Fiber Club! 11 years ago

Well I started the pattern part of the dress yesterday and after two rows have already stuffed it up. I “yarn forward” ed the wrong way! So I will start again I guess. For some reason I ended up with five stitches at the end instead of three so I will use something as counters when I cast on to make sure the number of stitches is correct. Then it…[Read more]

The latest O+S blog post said “in a week or two.” That’s all I know 🙂
roundtheworldgirl replied to the topic Help me enjoy knitting again in the forum Fiber Club! 11 years ago

Tamara, that is exciting – and the answer of course is, “it depends.” In my most prolific (pre-kids) knitting days I could finish a hat in two days, and an adult sweater in two weeks. But I spent hours per day doing it. Now it takes me forever to finish anything – I may knit up to an hour a day when I am very smitten with a project (but I’ve…[Read more]
justsewit replied to the topic Help me enjoy knitting again in the forum Fiber Club! 11 years ago

For someone who doesn’t usually knit and doesn’t consider herself a knitter, I have embarked on a project I hope to finish rather fast. Time will tell. But I have always wanted to have a knitted baby dress so I am making one for Chloe. I actually signed up to ravelry and that has inspired me to knit also. There is this beautiful dress I’d love to…[Read more]

I dreamt about the new O+S patterns last night. In my dream there were two of them and I was very excited but I cannot for the life of me remember what I dreamt they were … clearly sewing has been at the forefront of my thinking lately!

I did not know such a thing existed … and I now desperately want one!
Tamara replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 11 years ago

Today’s sewing consisted of sewing three Layette shirts in assembly line fashion. I currently have them in the hand sewing basket waiting for their neckbindings to be handstitched down.

I also managed to handsew the lining of the Cape Ann bubble and have also sewn the buttonholes. This is also in the handsewing basket waiting for buttons to go…[Read more]

Nicole replied to the topic placement of the waist trim in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 11 years ago

Perhaps into the dress but have it hidden inside the lining?
Sorry , on my phone
Nicole replied to the topic placement of the waist trim in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 11 years ago

Will these help?
Nicole replied to the topic placement of the waist trim in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 11 years ago

I know what I do but I am not sure what it is called….

I stitch a small stitch into the sash ( 2mm) and that goes to a longer running stitch in the dress lining (1 cm), pulling so it is firm but does not pucker.

I will see if I can find a picture for you.
Nicole replied to the topic Tools in the forum off topic 11 years ago

Here you are, with baby fingers for scale 🙂
Tamara replied to the topic Tools in the forum off topic 11 years ago

Yes a buttonhole chisel. I’ve always wanted one of those. Good quality pins that are sharp and won’t snag fabric. Sewing sheers! Liesl if you do decide to carry them, could you allow for us lefties please? It is very difficult find good left handed sewing scissors (sheers). Duckbill scissors would be great too.
