Justine J replied to the topic How many pairs of leggings can be made from one piece of fabric? in the forum oliver + s: playtime 9 years ago
It is possible, but would depend the width of your fabric and whether or not you are using fabric with a directional print. The pieces need to be cut as mirror images of themselves, so ideally you would cut with the fabric folded. Knit fabric is usually quite wide (which IMO makes it a bit wasteful when making little people clothes) – the best…[Read more]

This is one of the few O+S pattern I don’t have so I don’t feel “qualified” to give an answer.;) But if it’s tight under the arms, I would think going ahead and making the next size up would help with the jumper being too tight under the arms. Sorry I couldn’t be more of a help!

Two pairs of layette pants sewn – check!
They were really quick to put together. I might get to make a few more but next, I plan to cut and sew a couple of bubble dresses and a puppet show set.

Tamara replied to the topic Snaps in Australia in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
Ok I am a bit clueless, what are KAM snaps? I don’t actually use the ones from Liesl because I had bought some already before she stocked them. Mine are from Greenbeans but I have just jumped onto their site to link it and I think I might have the KAM ones you mention as this is what they state they have.
I don’t know the difference really but do…[Read more]

Tamara replied to the topic Pockets in the forum oliver + s: music box 9 years ago
You could even do the welt pockets under the flap and topstitch the outline so that it looks fake but is actually real. The downside is that the lovely welt pockets aren’t seen. But it certainly is an idea to include proper ones.

I am so glad Melanie helped you, she is so clever at this sort of thing.
Just a thought, my girls are older still, 15, but Empire line is very fashionable for their age group.
I actually hunted down a Laura Ashley pattern that has a similar feel to the Garden Party as they both loved the look. -

Darling Jay! A move can be very overwhelming at the best of times. Hang in there. Soon you will be able to get the sewing things out and get going again. Just take the time to be in the moment with your friends and loved ones and I sincerely hope everything goes very well for the packing part so you and the girls can take off and fly to your…[Read more]

The Birthday Party facing is a clever ‘wrap around it self’ type facing so you would need to be aware of that.

I have abandoned the concept of the Doctor coat – not enough time. I did get a little seat made for Harriet that straps onto Audrey’s wheely suitcase. She’ll have a nice comfortable ride to get on the plane.
No sewing scheduled now, I’m trying to make a mini passport for Harriet, and otherwise, just dealing with farewells!

I have just finished the hems of three lullaby layette shirts. Just have to apply poppers and then take photos.
Next is… Whatever I pick out of the tray. Probably some very cute looking linen layette pants.
If I get the date we want, it mean there will be four weeks to go.

@todd I, for one, find the behind the scenes info fascinating! Sounds like S is built a lot like my oldest. That’s part of the reason why I sew as RTW that fits was hard to find, especially during the tween years.
My tried and true method of making sure a t-shirt neckband is going to fit is to pull it on over my own head. Obviously it…[Read more]
