with love Heidi replied to the topic 2014 Sewing Goals and Resolutions in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
My reflections on how I achieved the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year. Overall I’m very pleased 🙂
1. Sew from my stash and make do!
I sewed up 255.6m of fabric this year! 63.65m of knit fabric, 163.1m of woven and 26.7m of fleece.
Since overall I bought 121.05m of fabric this means I used at least 134.55m of fabric from my…[Read more] -

Happy New Year to all!
I hope everyone is safe and well.
My sewing goals for the New Year are to sew more thoughtfully (do we really need it)? and focus on finishing and fabric choices.
I also plan to downsize my stash. I am frequently given bags of fabric and patterns from ladies that no longer sew, which is lovely, but I think I need to cull…[Read more]

I was going to suggest the Jumprope placket instructions, but Nicole beat me to it 🙂

@EllenMCM, do you have the Jumprope dress pattern? I was making my son a shirt last year and I pulled out the Jumprope instructions to help me do the sleeve plackets.
Still sewing my cousins dress. Next up, the Field Trip cargoes and tee for Tildy. Then I will be cutting more swimmers, school uniforms or a shirt for my husband.

Nicole replied to the topic Fleece Nature Walk pullover–still use interfacing? in the forum oliver + s: nature walk 9 years ago
Not a huge polar fleece fan, it is not cold enough here, but I do use cotton un-brushed fleece a lot.
I do interface as per usual but as this will make one side more rigid then the other, I will use a thin strip of interfacing to stabilise the seam area of the other piece of fabric. -

Always very happy to talk sewing, cooking and babies!

Actually, you are a help. I quite appreciate being able to bounce ideas off someone who knows something about sewing and thinking out loud is mostly what I’m doing— until I cut!

Nicole replied to the topic How to increase neck opening? in the forum oliver + s: bedtime story 9 years ago
I am sorry not be more help, I am really just thinking out loud.
I must admit, I adore these pj’s too. I have made blouses from the top. -
SarahGreen replied to the topic How to increase neck opening? in the forum oliver + s: bedtime story 9 years ago
Some width, yes. And specifically to make the opening of the neck larger.

@with love Heidi, that would make you a slightly less then favourite Aunty….

@SarahGreen, I think that is what I mean… 🙂
You are after width? Is that right? -
SarahGreen replied to the topic How to increase neck opening? in the forum oliver + s: bedtime story 9 years ago
My concern over keeping the look of the top is a contributing factor to my hesitation!
My daughter wore the size 6 until she was 9, but now she’s got broad shoulders! How did that happen so fast??!
Are you suggesting adding to the the back at the center seam AND from the shoulder- hem?
I will go use my visualizing powers on opening the front…[Read more]

Nicole replied to the topic How to increase neck opening? in the forum oliver + s: bedtime story 9 years ago
I would wonder if you made it in stretch whether that would be enough?
My girls wore the size 8 until they were 12.
I don’t have a lot of success sizing up patterns, I find they lose the original look for me but I would wonder about splitting the centre front piece and adding to the middle?
Perhaps split the back at the shoulders to the hem and…[Read more] -
SarahGreen started the topic How to increase neck opening? in the forum oliver + s: bedtime story 9 years ago
I’m about to make the bedtime story pajamas for my daughter who is 10. As the pattern is only sized to 8, and she is big for 10 years old, I want to increase the size of the neck opening. I haven’t made the pattern in several years, so I’m a little uncertain as to how is the best way to go about it. I would really appreciate hearing your…[Read more]
