Thanks @reeni – very helpful info. I’ll use the Purl Soho one then, and will make a cardboard pressing tool as well. I’m going to use cotton lawn for my first attempt. I’m hoping for the best!

From a technical standpoint, all of these methods would work. But I’d advise against the method shown in the last link (Sew Liberated), which could really throw off everything about the trousers. Better to raise the center-back rise!

My husband has put in a request for some new ties. (He went from working from home in t-shirts and shorts to a job where he actually needs a jacket and tie.)
Has anyone actually made one? There are a couple of tutorials that I’ve been checking out – one from Purl Soho and the other from Thread Theory. I’d love advice if anyone has actually…[Read more]

I finished a Cashmerette Appleton for my friend but I didn’t check the stretch requirements so it’s too tight through the back and bicep 🙁 I’m going to remove the sleeves and hopefully save the dress.
I also upcycled a friend’s t-shirt for his boy. I added a crossover yoke, inspired by the Hopscotch top as there wasn’t enough fabric. I really…[Read more] -
Tamara replied to the topic Please help — how do I lengthen *only* the back rise?? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 8 years ago
Whoops! I forgot to mention that if you did the slash and spread method, you’ll need to even out both seams as the side seam will be effected slightly.
Good luck and please let us know how you get on.

Tamara replied to the topic Please help — how do I lengthen *only* the back rise?? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 8 years ago
Hi Rebecca
This is what I do for my daughters’ pants and also my own.
Firstly I measure from the back centre waist to the inside of the leg where the seam would meet. You can also do this with a pair of pants that already fit her.
Then, because you want to fit only the back not the front, I would calculate the difference between the measurement…[Read more]

Thank you, @dubhels2003. Just to illustrate the difference, if you purchase my first book on Amazon I make 55 cents. If you purchase it directly from us I make $8.50. So it does help A LOT when you purchase directly from us.
Glad you’re excited, @sasha! Oh, and yes. It will be available for sale directly from us, and much sooner than Amazon…[Read more]

Ooh, @sasha, how soon do you need to start the dresses? If you can hold out for two more weeks I think my new book might be very helpful to you…

Well, aren’t you sweet, @justsewit! Thanks for the compliment. And the answer!

Tamara replied to the topic Attaching the collar clarification in the forum oliver + s: sketchbook 8 years ago
Yes this is correct! The yoke is lined but what you do is treat the lining as the underside of the shirt. So, as per the instructions, you pin the undercollar to the shirt with the right side against the outer yoke piece part of the shirt. You pin all the way around and then carefully sew it, being careful not to create little bubbles and puckers…[Read more]

Well the fabric shopping is done and I bought an extra 2 m of the sateen I want to use for my fit and flare dress as an entry for this year’s royal show. I also bought some of another print as inspiration hit me whilst watching “zumbo” and seeing Rachel’s dress. The plan is to use the Upton dress pattern and to use Rachel’s dress as inspiration…[Read more]

Tamara replied to the topic Sketchbook shirt dress? in the forum oliver + s: sketchbook 8 years ago
I think it would be a perfect alternative to the jumprope dress if it wasn’t included in the pattern stash. But at the same time it would be perfect as an alternative shirt dress style. In short, go for it!

I hope so too Heidi! Tomorrow will tell.
I made a “muslin” of a Stylearc shirt but ran out of fabric to “muslin” the sleeve. I think I made it too long so it’s back to the drawing board and having a think.
I am now soldiering on with an already cut out “tailored shirt” to audition this instead. It’s playing it safe but it just might save time to…[Read more]

Hope you were able to get the additional fabric, Tamara!
I’m feeling much better today after a couple of really bad days. I’m making Jalie sweat pants into side opening pants for my niece who will be in bilateral leg casts for a few weeks. I made some last year and they made getting her dressed a much easier task. It’s a benefit having made the…[Read more] -

I was also going to suggest Jalie! Their patterns are wonderful and come in a huge range of sizes, kids 2 right up to large adult sizes. Their PDF’s are fantastic too!
And the patterns I’ve used had great fitting advice too. - Load More
