Nicole replied to the topic Has anyone made the jacket out of Polartec or fleece? in the forum oliver + s: school days 9 years ago
I think if I was to sew a coat from fleece I would use a simple pattern with fewer seams.
Something like this https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/sets/72157627425463919/
These patterns are very basic, mind. You will need to get your ‘O+S’ on in regard to clipping and grading seams there are no directions for that.
However, with fewer seams…[Read more] -

Welcome Lucy, the Forrest path sounds wonderful in pre quilted fabric.
I’ve had a very busy week, we just got home from a 4 day camping trip! hopefully today I’ll get back to the machines and finish the embellishment of my dress and the hems 🙂 -

Thank you MC.
We are on school holidays and it is lovely. Our weather is still very mild so the Fab Five are taking full advantage and packing food into rucksacks and disappearing into the bush for the day.
Lidia and Matilda have taught themselves ‘knitting’ with a plastic loom thing. It makes a perfectly acceptable farm beanie so it is very…[Read more]

Welcome Lucy!
I am keen to see the LTTS cape in a quilted fabric.I am sewing a polo shirt for my husband but after that I have 1/2 dozen nurses capes to make for the school students for ANZAC day. They should be nice and quick, the pattern is based on a boomerang pillow case.

I use Deb/My North’s directions for bagging a lining. Whenever I go it alone, I stuff up, I go back to Deb’s blog and it works!

Try the help forum on Flickr. I have had good success there.

Nicole replied to the topic Has anyone made the jacket out of Polartec or fleece? in the forum oliver + s: school days 9 years ago
By all means, sew it with fleece if that is what you have, but it is such a lovely sew and fleece doesn’t really wear that well….
One thing to be aware of is that it is a pattern for a woven, not a knit so you will have to be careful for the pieces stretching out of shape.
I wonder if pressing a strip of soft interfacing to the seam allowance…[Read more] -

I have made it with a fleece interlining and it worked very well. I would be very happy to make it from fleece 🙂

I’ve made the firefly jacket, which is reversible, and for that one you leave a small opening at the bottom hem and turn the whole thing through it. I think it’s best done slowly.
Not sure if that helps you?

SarahGreen replied to the topic Could I add a lining after-the-fact? in the forum liesl + co: everyday skirt 9 years ago
Great ideas! I’m glad I asked. Although my seam ripper and I know each other too well, I think I’ll go the hand stitch route. Shouldn’t take too long, and it’ll make a tv program seem productive.
I think in this case a voile or batiste might work better. I live in Costa Rica and I’ve done away with all my tights. 🙂
Thank you so much!

I have a feeling that happened to me too awhile ago. I going to try to remember what I did about it. I do remember being rather unhappy about the whole situation. Certainly not a moment to suck it up.

SarahGreen started the topic Could I add a lining after-the-fact? in the forum liesl + co: everyday skirt 9 years ago
After making my most recent everyday skirt, (and literally, wearing it everyday this last week!) I think I might prefer it with a lining.
Is it possible to add one after I’ve already made the skirt? Has anyone done something so nutty before?
And, what fabric would you recommend? The skirt is made of a linen that is dark brown with a thin black…[Read more]

SarahGreen replied to the topic Fabric shopping in Paris in the forum off topic 9 years ago
Last time we were in Paris we stayed in an apartment on the Rue de Mulhouse near Rue Montorgueil. There were fabric houses up and down our street. Although I think most wee only open to wholesales, it might be possible to find a few to sell to an individual. I was drooling at the windows. There are many other fabric art boutiques in the…[Read more]

And congratulations on the trip! Paris is such a wonderful city, and it’s great to take some time for yourself. It’s very renewing. Have fun!
