Tamara replied to the topic Smocking in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years ago

@sewgirl23 if you look at the line of the style of garment, it will give you an indication of where the smocking can go. I have used smocking on the carousel dress, the school photo dress and the school days jacket, not to mention the croquet dress.

For a motif the carousel dress would be perfect. You could also do a picture smocked panel and…[Read more]

@sewgirl23
I think the 2+2 would be gorgeous. Just under the tie, instead of the tab.
ASM Blue did a gorgeous Ice Cream blouse. I would use gingham, so I could stitch the squares, rather then pleat.

I still love French knots.

I think simple smocking looks cleaner and more modern.

Hi @kirstylilian whilst my original question has already been answered, I don’t see why you couldn’t contact Oliverands by email regarding your dilemma. I also suspect this question has also been asked before, or was it you? I’m sure I remember reading about this before….

Anyway, if you have the printed pattern, surely there would be some sort…[Read more]

Thanks, @sewgirl23! I’m glad you’re going to make it, and it’s really good to know that the photos help! Cheers.

Of course they are useful @liesl😀 With six months until our summer, I have plenty of time to collect the items required. But not only that, this sewalong will still be up so I can sewalong then too! It looks like I will be learning new skills with this as in all the years I have been sewing, I have never actually made a swimsuit for myself and…[Read more]

Thanks for this, @snoutfair! It’s really helpful to us to know that these are useful to you, and the more feedback we receive the more likely we are to them again in the future. Thanks also for the reminder regarding the elastic; I’ll drop another email to Butterick to see if they can give me a number now!

Saved the day thanks @todd

Interesting, Sarvi! Thanks for the explanation.

Hey, will everyone who followed/follows the sew-along do me a favor and leave a quick note here telling us you made use of it? It will help a lot with deciding whether to do more sew-alongs in the future if we can gauge the level of interest and participation.

Cheers!

I was able to change the title of the post.
Tamara replied to the topic Question about sending private messages in the forum about the forums 9 years ago

Not to worry! it’s all good.@sarvi.
Tamara replied to the topic Question about sending private messages in the forum about the forums 9 years ago

@sarvi am I able to do that?

Thankyou🙂

What’s May Grey, Sarvi?
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

And that’s a wrap! You’re going to show me your suits, too, right?
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

Hello, everyone. Hope you had a great weekend! Day 4 of the sew-along is up and ready for you…
Tamara replied to the topic Merino source in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I love merino on the sheep and on me but I feel really sad that this place uses only nz merino wool☹️ .It would be awesome to be totally out of the box and build somesort of refinery to make the fabric myself, but we’d need all the wool in NZ for that (they seem to have more sheep for their population) and a jackpot lotto win (and even then it wou…[Read more]
Tamara replied to the topic Merino source in the forum off topic 9 years ago

@lightningmcstitch did you go in person to this place or buy online because I noticed they look as though they ship from NZ.
Tamara replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Love the accent fabric @needlewoman.

I spent the afternoon handstitching and both jeans jackets are almost complete😀. I now have to go and hammer seams flat, topstitch, do buttonholes and the more handstitching – the buttons. Fingers crossed I get to do this all tonight.
Tamara replied to the topic Sizing question in the forum oliver + s: popover 9 years ago

Yes sew the ties before you make the bow and then wear a t shirt under it if it one of those not recommended to be worn to school kind of dresses. That way you cover all bases.
