Nicole started the topic Smocking in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

I feel a bit of a fraud here 🙂 I was heavily into smocking and embroidery in the late 90’s and early 00’s but my style has changed somewhat.
My claim to fame is I grew up in the town that Country Bumpkin was started and went to school with Margie Bauer and Lib Rayner’s daughters (the clever sisters who’s started A S&E).

Hugo (18) had smocked…[Read more]

Lotta, your food sounds so amazing!

I made this soup last week, https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143880130031/, I substituted light sour cream and used extra garlic.
Five hungry little Keller’s knocked off a double batch for tea.

A new year means new patterns for me.
Last year’s are all looking twee

I have been working my way through the mending pile, wearing my hair shirt. 😉

I really hope to start a Music Class blouse for Liddy today. sigh….

Nicole replied to the topic Full bust adjustment in the forum liesl + co: woodland stroll cape 10 years ago

*I have not made this* but I have seen lots of different versions on lots of body shapes. I think it has enough ease not to need a FBA.

I am very happy to be corrected 🙂
Nicole replied to the topic Finishing a lace edge? in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

This is definitely Melanie’s field, @Willanna. I have a blog post here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143875948321/ in which I underlined velvet spotted tulle.

However, I would use this method http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/added-a-skirt-lining-how-do-i-sew-the-zipper for the lining.

Good luck!
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Fit on Sunday Brunch in the forum oliver + s: sunday brunch 10 years ago

I’d call it more of a blazer than a jacket, per se. You probably wouldn’t be able to layer a sweater under it, but you could wear it over a light blouse or T-shirt.
justsewit replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

Don’t worry Deb, I’ve only just learned how to do it – really savvy me!

What about a pintucked feature down the side of a pair of trousers?
Nicole replied to the topic Most and Least Worn O+S Outfit? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Lots of great reading and some great tips.
After quizzing my chiblings we worked out the most worn was this https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/5444046339/in/set-72157625138776927
A Sailboat top in navy/white cotton lycra. Liddy is now wearing it after it was passed on to the Twins.
Nicole replied to the topic 2+2 skort in the forum oliver + s: 2 + 2 10 years ago

*From memory* you will need to add maybe an inch or so to the top of the shorts?
I would add extra, sort of pin (with safety pins) the skirt and shorts together, and try them on the child.

If you take out the placket, make sure the skirt will be wide enough to pull up.

I, very recently, added the Tea Party bloomers to the Hopscotch skirt, it…[Read more]
Nicole replied to the topic Fit on Sunday Brunch in the forum oliver + s: sunday brunch 10 years ago

I found the Sunday Brunch a fait-to-generous fit. I would not have layered it over a jumper (sweater) but my girls always got a good amount of wear from their corresponding size.

The added bonus is it looks really cute a little fitted.

(this is the 6-12 months on my 18…[Read more]

I have a pair of Layette pants and a bodysuit pinned to some Lisette lisette ready to make into pyjamas for baby Chloe. Both are size 0-3 months.

@FrancesSuzanne that sounds very exciting – proof that great minds are very much thinking alike here!

So how are you going to do them? Twin needle? Folded? Please not corded (I don’t know if this will work with a crosshatch). I haven’t done the crosshatch either but I am intrigued and can’t wait for all to be revealed.

This is a fun thread! Thanks for starting it, Nicole.:)

Hands down, the most worn O+S item in our house:

Patrick wore the shorts constantly the last 2 years. If they were clean (and sometimes when they weren’t!) he wore them.;)

I’ve made a beautiful midnight satin tea party dresse with matching shirred bloomers! It was so nice to just cut and sew!
I now have a lengthened playsuit cut out in green and black 🙂
