No problems at all!
Happy to have you here!
I would add the ruffle to the front and pin and stitch the blinding over the top of it. That would give an ‘up’ ruffle.
To add a ruffle pointing down the leg could be trickier, or you could finish the shorts as per instructions and then add a gathered piece to the inside, baste it and then topstitch it…[Read more] -

I use KAM snaps and snap press.
I have this snap press http://www.snapsaustralia.com.au/Professional_Snap_Press_p/pr2.htm
And I use size 20 snaps from the same place.
I spent about $100 Aus setting up, including postage, but I figure I only needed to put in 50 or so to be financially ahead given the price of buttons! I have used the press so much…[Read more] -

Stuffing the ballot box for new tab. (You can new tab in chrome on a mac, it’s not PC-specific, but I’m lazy.)

Cybele, I would either lengthen the bit that’s not the yoke using the picture I drew or lengthen within the yoke, using the same method. I can draw more pictures if nessassary 🙂

It looks like we will have to wait until the broadcast is finished – I can’t view it here in the US on bbc.co.uk or YouTube. I’ll have to schedule a little reminder to look it up later!

I tend to cut this one across the grain, from selvedge to selvage, because I find it easier 🙂

For the most case, it won’t matter if you cut the straps with the grain or across the fabric.
I made some silk ties for a dress once and cut one with and one across and the one across stretched a little.
I shouldn’t think you would have a problem with most fabrics you would use for the bear carrier.
I hope that helps. -

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Stabilizing knit seams? in the forum oliver + s: field trip 10 years ago
Pippi, that tape used to finish the neckline is really for aesthetic reasons–to cover the merrow/serger stitching. I suppose it might also stabilize the neck a bit too, but the fabric itself is mostly responsible for the neckline. A knit with good recovery (it bounces back to its original shape after being stretched) will do fine. Knits without…[Read more]

I haven’t used anything to stabilise neck bands. About 2 years ago I made 2 of my friends kids a tshirt, not Oliver and S, and the neck bands still look lovley after lots of wear.
