Tamara replied to the topic Printing PDF Patterns in the forum oliver + s: bubble dress 7 years ago
I understand but in this case, you’d want a 6-12 month size (if baby fits the measurement of course). Some pattern pieces won’t require sticking together in the smaller size range. They are still nested but fit onto the page and it would be say a bodice piece if this were the case.
It will save time should you revisit the pattern later on because…[Read more]

Hi Suzanne @theartsypaul
The PDF patterns are all nested, meaning the sizes are all together as you assemble the pattern. So with this in mind, tracing would be a great option in order to have your size and preserve the pattern for when different sizes are required.
Hope this helps

My eldest preferred hers with buttons at the front.

with love Heidi replied to the topic Wearing back to front? in the forum oliver + s: playtime 7 years ago
I know a number of the kids I sew for often end up wearing clothes I’ve made them back to front and it dose not seem to bother them. But I have not made this dress/tunic.

You can find any errata on the page for that pattern.

Asmita, you just need to enter the shipping address in the United States on the page where you enter your shipping and billing address.
With the billing address of the card in India, the payment will process for you, and with the shipping address in the US you will get US shipping rates.

Looks like you did it perfectly! A boxy dress with dropped shoulder is going to have a boxy fit. Thus the lines. It’s normal for this style. The dress looks great on you!

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Correct dress photo? in the forum oliver + s: building block dress 7 years ago
That’s the right photo, @joslyn. You can see the full worksheet for the dress on page 20, including a sketch of the skirt on that particular dress–it’s added to an empire waist in this instance.

Tamara replied to the topic Best Resources for Fitting in the forum Sewing for Yourself 7 years ago
Hi Deanna
There are some really great classes on Craftsy involving fitting. I have particularly found the classes by Joi Mahon helpful. The reason for this is that even though I have a dressmaker’s dummy to pin my Muslims onto, it doesn’t look like me and of course because of this it turns out totally wrong and fits the dummy not myself.
Joi…[Read more]

with love Heidi replied to the topic Has anyone done zipper instead of buttons in back of yoke? in the forum oliver + s: hide-and-seek 7 years ago
I suspect t it will be much more difficult to add a zip to an already finished bodice than to modify the pattern and add one from scratch.
I’ve also made buttonholes for years on a machine without a bottonhole foot, just the regular foot and the 4 step buttonhole program. I’ve also made buttonholes with a dense zigzag stitch, regular foot and no…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Firefly Jacket Question in the forum oliver + s: firefly 7 years ago
Apologies for the silence, @dids! I’m traveling, with limited access to my computer. If I recall correctly, you attach the elastic to both front edges of only the fabric A jacket. So right side and left side. Does that make sense? I hope it helps.

The dress looks awesome @caraskates. I’m assuming the embroidery was done by machine?

Jill,can you shorten it half way down the straight part of the crotch? Then you will loose the length but not interfere with the pockets or back yoke.

Ok, sewists, I need your help! I’m ready to send out testing packages for our next Liesl + Co patterns, and I’m looking for two specific sizes:
I need someone who wears a C-cup (2″ different between your high bust and full bust) for a shirt pattern.
I’m also looking for someone who wears a size 16, 18, or 20 to test a shorts and a skirt pattern.…[Read more]

Sarvi replied to the topic Patchwork block drawstring bag in the forum oliver + s: little things to sew 7 years ago
That’s a great idea! I do seem to always have a few extra blocks lying around and don’t know what to do with them, even though I’m not a big quilter. And after my daughter’s recent birthday, I felt just awful about the enormous pile of gift wrap we recycled. A nice reusable gift bag is much better!
