Oliver + S

  • Hope all goes well with the new baby, Tamara!
    I’m making the Jalie onsie from cuddle fleece. The pattern is fantastic! It all lines up and sews up so well. The instructions aren’t Oliver and S standard but they are fine, with great pictures, and give good results.
    I love sewing with fleece, no ironing! It makes the project so fast 🙂

    Oh Becky, I love that you shared this. My system is similar to yours. 🙂

  • I’ve made these once, but can’t remember, is it overlap for a button?

    It takes a bit of time to really find out what works best so taking your time is a sensible one. I have rearranged my sewing room (again) simply because it is so darn hot I want the sofa bed in the coolest part of the room. The table is now set away from the glare so hopefully I will be able to work better during the daylight hours. That is when I…[Read more]

  • This time he’s having the version without feet as it’s summer and for camping. But He wants one in coral fleece with feet and hood for winter 🙂

    Oh I had a look at that pattern last time I was on that site. I will be very interested to see how it turns out Heidi and how you find the pattern. I used the Jalie jeans pattern earlier this year but followed along with the Craftsy class with Angela Wolf to make them. I’m glad I did it that way because I don’t think they would have been completed…[Read more]

    I sort mine out according to size and anything with chunks is cut into say a charm square size. Of course with knits it is different – anything that can accommodate a neck band is kept or is enough to use for contrast sleeves etc. i have a basket of knit scraps that many would possibly be big enough for the layette bodysuit.

    The bigger pieces -…[Read more]

  • I’m sorting my fabric at the moment. I’m trying to work out what size to keep and when to throw!
    I made a pouffe last January and any smallish scraps from cutting have been going in there. It’s nearly full, I might need to make another one for this year 🙂
    But what are the smallest usable scraps for Oliver and S sewing? What pattern?
    I’m…[Read more]

  • I just got Jalie 3244 (footed onsie pattern)! I’m going to make my husband one, but it has to be an animal, so it will be a panther 🙂 But first I’m making a baby one to check out the construction order and pattern.

    I will be binding necklines, sewing on buttons and lace and threading elastic today – hopefully! I was up for three hours tidying up the disaster zone that was the lounge area very early this morning due to insomnia.

    I sewed! Hurrah!
    Started a Class Picnic for my sweet Lidia.

    It must be in the air!

    My Twins have moved their desks to their bedroom so I have set up my cutting table in our sewing/children’s office.

    Tildy and Liddy are quite happy to make and work on one end of that and as it is 31/2 metres long there is plenty of room.

  • The cowboy outfits reminds me of the illustrations in my nursery books, very retro and cute.
    I adore vintage patterns too.
