@cybele727 – I’m curious – are you happy with the way the fabric shop cut it? Because I cut large scale prints that way as well….so I’m wondering if that was a good thing to you or a bad thing…

Interfacing usually works well for me when it comes to hemming. You might need to adjust the tension on your machine for the double needle, too. I usually have to crank up the upper tension by quite a bit to balance things out. Good luck!

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Would you resize the LTTS back pack up? in the forum oliver + s: little things to sew 9 years ago
I would suggest a really easy route for this. If you want to enlarge it, be sure the seam allowances are drawn into the pattern piece. Then enlarge all the pieces the same percentage and draw new cut lines from the seam lines. That way everything will be enlarged so it all still fits together, but since the seam allowances will also increase you…[Read more]

Ok, thanks everyone! I may go the @sarvi route and kind of wing it a bit – I love the added pockets that Sharon did. School starts in 3 weeks….need to get cracking!

Oh, wow! What a beautiful interpretation of the inspiration dress! If you want the super puffy look you might want to make a crinoline or pettiskirt to go underneath. Only if you have time because it’s beautiful as is 🙂

Tamara replied to the topic Stupid things I've done while sewing O&S patterns in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
Yes that’s right! So the lunchbox tee in fleece would be considered a jumper or pullover (in your case a sweater) and the music box jumper is what we would consider as a pinafore.

Are you in a warm climate? I made one of my daughters a Seashore dress http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/silky-seashore-success.html

Nicole replied to the topic crooked fabric in the forum off topic 9 years ago
Good memory Sarvi.
Yes, that was me and it was so frustrating. I ended up cutting the body to grain and cutting the cuff to the pattern but then interfacing the whole cuff so it was a bit more stable.

Sarvi replied to the topic Would you resize the LTTS back pack up? in the forum oliver + s: little things to sew 9 years ago
Apologies for jumping in, but I did this myself somewhat recently and after agonizing over it quite a bit I realized I was making something very simple unnecessarily complicated. I took her school folders and set them on a piece of freezer paper and drew a rectangle with rounded corners around them, eyeballing a bit extra room. I made the…[Read more]

I haven’t encountered this myself, but I remember Nicole making something .. I think it was a shirt for Hugo? where it was printed off grain and it was super annoying. Can you tug/steam it into shape a bit? I’m not sure how much you could ameliorate it before the animals looked really skewed.

Sarvi replied to the topic Printing digital patterns on A4 paper in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
The book mentions that the seam allowances are included, I believe. I don’t know whether the free pattern states that they are included, but it tells you what seam allowance to use, and presumably doesn’t tell you to add seam allowances? Sorry, I have made mine from the book rather than the freebie so I’m not closely familiar with it. Feel free to…[Read more]
