I have a pair of Layette pants and a bodysuit pinned to some Lisette lisette ready to make into pyjamas for baby Chloe. Both are size 0-3 months.

@FrancesSuzanne that sounds very exciting – proof that great minds are very much thinking alike here!

So how are you going to do them? Twin needle? Folded? Please not corded (I don’t know if this will work with a crosshatch). I haven’t done the crosshatch either but I am intrigued and can’t wait for all to be revealed.
justsewit replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago

I have always thought the yoke on the playdate dress would lend itself well to pintucks sewn in a crosshatch design …. but then it lends itself well to all sorts of methods.

You could use tucks on the picnic top instead of gathers to see how that would work. Or make a feature panel on the library dress.

Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago

Whenever 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.
Masha Richart replied to the topic Most and Least Worn O+S Outfit? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 11 years ago

Least worn: just about anything I made when my oldest was 2 or 3. She was SO picky about clothes. I had a gorgeous gray corduroy Jumprope View B that I think got worn five times, and only after much cajoling and threatening.

Most worn: Playtime leggings, all eight pairs that I have sewn. Two were worn to pieces and others outgrown. Also the…[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.

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.

I found dresses just bunched up above the waist, it never bothered any of my babies.
Perhaps make one and see how you go. 🙂

As I s q u e e z e d Trixie ( 6 mnths) into her Puppet Show tunic (size 0-3 mnth), for the very last time this morning, I reflected on what a lot of wear she has had from it.

It was a good sew. She wore it as a dress as newborn through to a blouse today, with Tea Party boomers.

Leggings to protect baby knees! And keep the dresses for those times when she won’t be crawling – ie shopping trips.

I love the very short dresses and bloomers with chubby baby legs – so cute!
Nicole replied to the topic Cotton Lawn in the forum oliver + s: music box 11 years ago

Oh, that fabric is lovely!
The Music Box is such a straight forward sew you won’t need a tute.
(But we are here if you need us) xx
Tamara replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 11 years ago

I have changed my mind about the miracle blanket! My baby is a regular little Houdini! So I think ditching the idea of making one is a very good idea and using the cut pieces for something else.

I am also currently trying to convince the eldest daughter to let me make her first formal dress – this is definitely not the time to improvise with no…[Read more]

Oh wow, some sweet dresses and equally sweet little girls.
Nicole replied to the topic Is there a name for this style? in the forum off topic 11 years ago

This is pretty too http://sewing.patternreview.com/Patterns/9786 ( but I don’t have it)
Nicole replied to the topic Is there a name for this style? in the forum off topic 11 years ago

I have a Burda pattern, with a separate bolero, you may have.

http://sewing.patternreview.com/Patterns/9785 if it will work.

I do see it goes from an 11…. may be a bit big.
Nicole replied to the topic Cotton Lawn in the forum oliver + s: music box 11 years ago

Hi Erin. Lawn is lovely to sew with but may I suggest you spend a little more and look for a Japanese lawn? It will have a little more body and be easier to handle.

If you are new to sewing children’s clothes, may I be so bold as to show you my tute’s for some of the O+S patterns? I go through the directions, step by step and you can email me if…[Read more]
