with love Heidi started the topic Patchwork block drawstring bag in the forum oliver + s: little things to sew 7 years ago
I just made 3 3D pinwheel blocks to see what they were like. I was wondering what I would do with 3 random patchwork blocks.
Then I realized they were the size of the whole front on the LTTS drawstring bag! So I have turned one of them into a drawstring bag and have the rest of the fabric for the other two 🙂
I thought others might have a similar…[Read more] -

There is an errata notice for that pattern that might address this issue:
Errata
In the first printing of this pattern there was a minor error in the instructions. In the second column on page 4, the bottom two illustrations have the fabric right side-fabric wrong side shading reversed. Where you see the fabric right side illustrated,… -

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Playtime leggins, what size to make? in the forum oliver + s: playtime 7 years ago
Yeah, you might even want to measure the pattern at various spots and compare the measurements to spots on his legs if you don’t want them to be tight. Since everyone is built differently, it will also depend on how muscular or thin his legs are.

Tamara replied to the topic Playtime leggins, what size to make? in the forum oliver + s: playtime 7 years ago
Hi Sharon
I was just looking at the body measurement chart and if your son has a 25″ waist then he would fit into a size 12. I have only made the smaller sizes and for a little girl (of course because my son doesn’t ask for creative ideas for costumes). They are true to size I think and so if you were to pick between an 8 or 10 I would certainly…[Read more]

@reeni Thanks. My daughter drew me a picture of what she wanted and the Metro will fit the bill for what she wants. However, you could do the raglan and I actually (when I was looking for inspriation) looked at the carousel dress design lines to see how this would work. I am seeing cold shoulder tops that are fitted t shirts and also strappy tops…[Read more]

Thanks @lightningmcstitch and @liesl it makes perfect sense. In fact I found a tutorial that actually pictorially explains it so all I need now is some time to actually implement it. Thanks again and yes pics are on there way too.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Metro ladies t shirt cold shoulder adaptation in the forum liesl + co: metro t-shirt 7 years ago
I think @lightningmcstitch is on the right track. Basically, you’ll cut off the top half of the sleeve cap and leave enough to hem the top edge. The you’ll add a bias facing to the upper armhole to finish it. It’s like the Partial Cap Sleeve in the Building Block Dress book, except the bias facing is at the top of the armhole instead of the…[Read more]

I found a pattern for the smaller sizes of the Sailboat top/pants/skirt on ebay, thanks to your recent posts, ladies. Thank you. The pattern should be arriving from Queensland very soon, and consequently, the postage was extra reasonable.

You are very welcome, Deanna! One of the many joys of this forum is the inspiration provided/creativity sparked by our discussions. I’ll look forward to seeing your treat bags; I finally traced off the pattern, yesterday. Must get a move on!

Hi,
My fourteen year old announced to me that she would like me to make her a cold shoulder top to wear for a themed dinner at the end of the month. I have seen one put out by stylearc which looks to her liking. I really would like to use an existing tshirt pattern in my stash, namely the metro which is tried and trued where sewing for the teen is…[Read more] -

with love Heidi replied to the topic Can cotton twill be used? in the forum oliver + s: firefly 7 years ago
I would happily use cotton twill for this jacket. One of the fabrics the pattern suggests is flannel and I wouldn’t expect cotton twill to be much, if any thicker than flannel.

I took the children to “railfest” this past weekend, an exhibiton day that is held by the volunteers of the Rail museum in our local capital city. Whilst there we took some time out to play in the small playground before heading home again. My 21 month old hasn’t had a lot to do with playgrounds so was watching some children slightly older than…[Read more]

needlewoman replied to the topic what fabrics do you use for a lining? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 7 years ago
I use polycotton poplin for lining most of the Oliver + S patterns I make. Lightweight, sews up well, washes easily, and doesn’t wrinkle to much.
