My preference is Bemberg: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Bemberg
Other types of rayon can be ok, too, but I prefer the hand feel of the Bemberg. Hope that helps!

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Butterick 6385 coat patten in the forum Sewing for Yourself 7 years ago
I forget what it calls for–1/4″, maybe? In general, you don’t want to reduce the size of the shoulder pad because it will cause the shoulders to droop more. The shoulder pad is there to give the jacket structure, and if you reduce/eliminate it it might not hang correctly because extra room was built into the shoulder to accommodate it. Does that…[Read more]

I see no reason why you couldn’t use a lighter weight fabric for this pattern. It think it will be great!

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic anyone use jersey spandex knit on dress in the forum oliver + s: playtime 7 years ago
Hello! The dress works great with knits, and I’ve seen lots of photos of it made with jersey, etc. I’ve even used sweatshirt fleece for it. If you check the Oliver + S Flickr group you’ll probably find lots of images, although I can’t comment on the weight of your fabric. You’ll have to be the judge of that one.

The last one or two pages will be set up to print the pattern on 36″ paper. The rest of the document will be set up to print the pattern on letter paper.
I print my patterns at home on A4 paper and stick them together. -

I have heard of that happening when people are starting to run low on ink. Could that be it? If not, perhaps there are some other settings in your printer driver you could choose. See if printing in color or with just black and white makes a difference. The grid lines are definitely there and should print for you!

Please keep me posted! I’m curious to hear how it goes. And it’s great to hear the PDF assembled easily. Cheers!

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Forest Cape sans lining in the forum oliver + s: forest path 7 years ago
Is it a true double-faced fabric? Because if it is, you can separate the fabric at the edges and tuck the edges in between the layers before hand-stitching to finish it. The would allow you to create a fully reversible cape if you don’t mind hand sewing quite a bit. I just did a quick google search and found a couple of tutorials to help…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Skirt packed – Questions in the forum oliver + s: building block dress 7 years ago
Hey Johanna,
Very perceptive questions!
1. I gave you a little extra width in the skirt back placket for “turn of cloth” and because the testers felt it was a bit tricky to sew. It felt safer to have a little extra there, but if you match the crease to the line of stay stitching you’ll be fine.
2. With regard to the difference in width on the…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Interfacing question in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 7 years ago
That’s great to hear, @with-love-heidi! My mom made one with a laminate that she’s been using for a long time, too. I need to find time to make one for myself!

with love Heidi replied to the topic Interfacing question in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 7 years ago
I’ve used fusible with good results. I made a wallet with fusible last January and it is still going strong with daily use.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Interfacing question in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 7 years ago
No, it’s fine. I prefer the sew-in interfacing for this project, but if you have fusible and want to use it go ahead. Enjoy!

Sorry, I don’t have dimensions. I’m guessing you might have already come up with something, but I think an obi/kimono-style belt would be adorable with the culottes.

Hi Tara (@4dfamily98)
Would he like them in denim? If so you could try Threadbare fabrics – they have cone denim which is a high quality denim, both rigid and stretch.
Otherwise you could try Fabric.com. They have twill, corduroy and other pant weight fabrics that may be suitable. Samples can be requested which would be helpful.
I understand!…[Read more]
