Every Staples apparently sets their own prices. Ours is really expensive, but I’ve found a blueprint place that’s really inexpensive, much more friendly, and always does a great job. You’re right, Sarvi; they know what they’re doing and I’ve never had a problem there.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Washing the Garden Party dress? And two changes I made… in the forum oliver + s: garden party 9 years ago
I think probably it couldn’t hurt to interface a bit at the bottom of the keyhole opening. I wouldn’t interface the entire opening, but maybe at the bottom where there might be some stress you could fuse a little square. It could also work to edgestitch the opening if you’re concerned that it might fray. It will really depend on the fabric, I think.

I think the only think worse than linen is silk. Good to know! Emily, maybe you could add your notes to your garment photo on flickr. People often browse there for inspiration, where a tip in a thread here is hard to find and quickly gets buried.

Sarvi replied to the topic Yoke not wide enough in the forum oliver + s: after-school 9 years ago
I know the feeling, it’s so frustrating when you see that so many other people have made it so many times without a problem and you just can’t figure out what you’re doing wrong! That’s what’s so reassuring about the flickr group. At least you know it’s a fixable problem, if you can just figure out what you’re missing. What a great bunch of gals…[Read more]

Sarvi replied to the topic Printing Digital Patterns in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
I’ve found it to be really inexpensive and convenient. I print at my local shop that does blueprints. I think I’ve told this story before but at Staples I have either no problems or lots of problems, depending on which clerk is there that day. Luck of the draw. At blueprint shop they know what they’re doing, I email the file and by the time I get…[Read more]

Exactly what Nicole said; that kid (and the tie) are too adorable for words!

I have made this pattern twice – no problem after washing. Unfortunately, both of my neck closures shredded at the bottom after washing. Most likely I clipped too close in my effort to get it to turn nicely. But, the gathers look just fine.

What about the Garden Party? With the lace on or just under the yoke and/or waistband. Lovley gathers and minimal pattern matching 🙂

Sharon! You’re back! Its so wonderful to “see” you on the forum again. That fabric is stunning isn’t it?
My first thought is carousel. I also think it would be lovely as a Badminton dress – not for your cooler weather i know but it came to mind. You could also go for the library dress and use the lace in the waist band somehow. The book report…[Read more] -

Yes that is true, however, I went ahead and attached the already cut long sleeves so I will just have to make another with short sleeves for this really wierd 27 degree days we are experiencing (in June?!). I have some blue and white floral lawn from Spotlight I have earmarked for another music class but am now thinking Puppet show dress for it…[Read more]

I hope that is it and they work well next time. I am sure your little one will look as cute as can be in ‘garden grubbies’

Nicole replied to the topic Yoke not wide enough in the forum oliver + s: after-school 9 years ago
I can hear your frustration and I am very sorry for it.
I made a smaller size here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/after-school-frolics-part-two.html
This size seemed to be fine.This is a curved seam which will need easing.
Please don’t lose heart. 🙂

Hi Sonja, I think you may have answered your own question.
As there are many seams that make the ‘body’ of the trousers, if you make all your seam allowances a bit narrow, the yoke will be too small.
I think I did the same with my first pair.An easy fix, if this happens again and you have topstitched your seams, is to add a bit of easing through…[Read more]
