with love Heidi replied to the topic Advice sewing with Corduroy & Velveteen in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago
I have a woolen blanket folded double under my ironing board cover to prevent the waffle pattern and give me a more padded surface. I picked this trick up from my grandfather who would put a doubled up wool blanket straight on the dining room table to do his ironing!

Oh, I have been there with the waffle pattern! I feel your pain!

Now I have to re-look at them….I think the couture sewing techniques will really teach me more than the basics, but I don’t wear dresses ever (jeans and t-shirts for me!). The knit t-shirt one looks good, but I can’t imagine 9 lessons to make a t-shirt….but, that’s something I may actually make myself and wear. Thanks guys for your opinions!

Yes the couture sewing techniques class looks great doesn’t it. I already have the pattern so I am wondering if the option for the pattern could be disabled.
I try and look for the classes when they are on sale as some can be rather expensive. It evens out with all the viewing time though I guess.
I have sewing big quilts on small machines and she…[Read more] -

I’ve not gone through the whole class but I learned more in the first 10 minutes of the couture sewing class with Susan Khaljie (sp?) than I ever knew about sewing. Many of the techniques are not ones that I use on a regular basis – it is couture after all – but just watching her work is fascinating to me. There is also a Sew-Along knit class that…[Read more]

I’d love to help Janice – but I have yet to watch any of the Craftsy classes I have!

Janice how fantastic congratulations! I have craftsy classes coming from my ears they are so fun. You can sign up for free a d there are free mini classes plus (if you feel inclined) the block of the month quilting classes are freebies also.
For sewing, I have the one about jeans with Kenneth d King that I haven’t actually viewed and also the…[Read more] -
Tamara replied to the topic After School Pants Pattern Issues in the forum oliver + s: after-school 11 years ago
Are you using corduroy? I have found with making them in corduroy that if I sew from the pants top instead of from the leg cuff I stand a better chance of them meeting up with just a slight trimming of less than a quarter inch. I suggest pinning closer and more often to help with the wriggling from the corduroy – that is if of course you are using…[Read more]

Nicole replied to the topic After School Pants Pattern Issues in the forum oliver + s: after-school 11 years ago
I have made size 2t and size 8 and there was a little ‘creepage’ that needed to be trimmed but I put that down to possibly sewing inaccurate seams and the slippery cord I was using.

Tamara replied to the topic When searching for a knit fabric with at least 25% stretch online… in the forum oliver + s: playtime 11 years ago
Lotta, I still have some Cw knit too so you aren’t the only one. I found when using it for the hopscotch tops that it stretches out of place. For the tunic or dress it would be rather sweet I should think – I’m reserving mine for that anyway.

Lattemama, City Weekend knits (I’m amazed you still have some!) are an interlock, which isn’t fantastic for recovery but would certainly work. They’ll get a little baggy in the knees, yes. If you’re looking for good recovery, jersey is better and jersey with a tiny bit of lycra is best. So maybe save the City Weekend for the tunic or dress instead?
