Nicole replied to the topic Sketchbook Shorts for Girls – Sizing? in the forum oliver + s: sketchbook 9 years ago
When fitting jeans, I sew the crotch seam first and then fit the side seams. I was given the tip from a clothing designer, it works really well.
I would wonder if the inseam may need a little pinched out.They are great shorts. I made Hugo (17) five pairs with an added fly and he wore them until last summer and now the Twins (15) wear them. I…[Read more]

Julia has that same derriere going on! So I will go by hip size – I have in my mind a picture of the way I’d like them to fit; we’ll see if I can make it work!

I didn’t Janice, but my girls have very curvy derrières.
I would make the size that corresponds to her hips and then taper the leg (inner and outseam) -

I’m about to enter the dreaded/ugly world of uniform sewing. We have a pretty strict requirement….no sneaking in any cute linings, etc. Navy blue and white. The end.
For those of you who have made the sketchbook shorts for girls, did you use their regular size, or did you size down? They have to be mid-thigh length, but I know my kid will…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Invisible zipper in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 9 years ago
I usually buy long zippers and just cut them to the length I need so I don’t have a big inventory of different lengths. You can simply zigzag over the teeth at the length you want, or you can buy metal stoppers to place at the end of the zipper. If you use a pliers you can also pull out the extra coil, but it can take a little fiddling to do this…[Read more]

Awww, thank you Sandi and Sharon.
I ~finished~ Zara’s (15) skort, hurrah!
So excited about this as I stupidly drafted the pattern to her tiny waist (size 6) instead of her hips (size 10)!With some careful unpicking and removing some darts I j u s t got enough ease to make it work.
If I had had enough of the lovely grey linen I think I would…[Read more]

Oh yes! Congrats Heidi on your win!
I bought some fabric to make the parachute pants and top for the baby today, along with something to make the playtime dress/ tunic with. I went looking for wool fabric to make the bistro dress for Imogen out of (it says lightweight wool right?) but of course I had no such luck!
I had a late start and of…[Read more]

Goodness, your conditions sound very similar to our area @sahmcolarado with our average rain about the same as yours (maybe a tad more). We usually have our “winter break” in May but 11mm isn’t a winter break at all! Now I know where all the rain has been falling.
And as it happens, on my second no sew day, the coastal town where I shop…[Read more]

I never knew you were supposed to cut off the extra! Why? So it doesn’t feel lumpy?

Sarvi replied to the topic Parachute Polo Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago
Heidi I think that would make the problem worse in this case, sounds like too little collar rather than too little neckline. I made the 5 in two very different fabrics (a stable interlock and a soft, floppy wool knit) and the firmer fabric was fine, the softer one had a ton of excess neckline. I put in a big box pleat at the back neck. It’s really…[Read more]
