Liesl Gibson replied to the topic How thin is too thin for knits? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
Even with the right fiber content, different knit qualities will feel and drape differently, so there’s no simple answer to this. Unfortunately. You really just have to feel them!

Estelle is such a pretty name. I knew a little girl named Estella, who is about Imogen’s age.

I adore the name! I wanted Chloe to be a Charlotte! Elizabeth was a given for me I think because its Catherine’s middle name and Carol’s and also ties to Her Majesty. I think they chose beautifully.
Although I do hope that the next generation choose versions of the old names, like Elise instead of Elizabeth, just to mix things up slightly.

Tamara replied to the topic Sewing Library Dress with vintage silk in the forum oliver + s: library 9 years ago
I made a little library dress from silk dupion and I did the version with the collar. I also have a pink silk one waiting to be sewn up.
It wouldnt matter where the silk came from or if it were dupion or Thai. It works beautifully with the pattern.
You may have to take care with laundering.
I’m not sure if I took a photo of the dress I made.…[Read more]

Sometimes you can lose some seam allowance if the seam is not perfectly flat. Perhaps try dampening in and rolling it under your fingers.
Is the the step you are referring too?

Good on you Fiona. I expect you will put a plan in place to sew things for the Mayfair throughout the year. It feels quite rewarding when your things prove to be popular.

Another that has not sewn the Library dress but I have made many outfit from for my children.
I adore sewing the stiffer silks, they are easy to handle and sew well.
First up, decide how you want to launder your garment, pre-wash and stick to that method. If you chose to hand wash (…[Read more]

How is this format working for everyone? We thought it would be nice to give the sew-alongs a home where they’ll be easy to find, especially if you have questions about the pattern. Plus, it frees up the blog for other exciting things!
