Sarvi replied to the topic Swingset tunic underarms and sides in the forum oliver + s: swingset 12 years ago
Nicole, is it possible to have a set of links in the sidebar of your blog to all of your tutorials? They’re such a useful resource, it would be so nice to have them all collected in one easy-to-browse spot. I basically search your blog first because I know it’ll be like a ‘practice run’ through making the pattern but sometimes I have to dig a…[Read more]

I just might do that in order to actually get the prints I’m after.
I had the sales assistant bag the range saying she couldn’t understand why people loved it so much. I set her straight in explaining why.
Will go mail ordering when hubby isn’t looking and get that ones I want. -
Nicole replied to the topic lisette fabrics in oz in the forum off topic 12 years ago
Don’t forget the mail order option. It can take a week but they hunt around and find it all for you!
Well worth the 7$ p&h. -

Bit disappointed to find my store didn’t have all the prints and fabrics available. Apparently there was a split shipment. Oh well will try again next time.

Sarvi replied to the topic Totally confused – Attaching the Facing in the forum oliver + s: birthday party 12 years ago
I’m bumping this thread rather than starting a new one, because of the photos posted above. If I want to add a sheer fabric at the bottom edge of the skirt, which will extend below it, so it looks like a double layer, how best would I do that? I was thinking at first of inserting my sheer fabric between the hem and the hem facing, where the pink…[Read more]

If I was to line the sleeves I would cut and sew a second sleeve, from lining fabric,put wrong sides together,finish the cuff,set in the sleeve and then bind the arm hole seam.

You could really have fun with this dress – make it as fancy or as casual as you like. I made one in corduroy and am planning one in denim. But I also think it would be great in prints or plains and it’s been proven to look really special in silk.
You can use small or medium prints with this but I personally wouldn’t go too large on the prints for…[Read more] -
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Shortening from the waist? in the forum oliver + s: sandbox 13 years ago
What size did you make? If it’s a larger size, you should just be able to shorten at the top–trim 1″ (for example) off the top edge before sewing the waistband on. If it’s a smaller size, watch for the curve of the rise, since you don’t want to start cutting into it. If you’re starting to get into the curve on the smaller sizes, you may need to…[Read more]

Finally got to cutting a toile and I went with the size 8 with the length of the 12.
I am very pleased as is my daughter. I took a cm or so off all the seams above the waist as we wanted it quite fitted. If I make it for play I will go with the standard size 8 with a little length.
The pattern was completely true to her…[Read more] -
Tamara replied to the topic interfacing in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 13 years ago
Hey that’s quite alright Emily, you are fitting into your budget and went with the best you can afford and that really is all that matters. It did the job. When you do get the “German” interfacing (I don’t really know why they call it that) you could keep it for the really special projects. It lasts a while because you use it on collars and things…[Read more]

I have just re-stocked and paid between $8 and $12.95 a metre.
I am not a student but I can understand how that my seem a lot if you are watching your budget.
The more sewing I did,I found I wanted the best quality notions to make my garments look as good as possible for as long as possible.
I am very miserly and save all my scraps for shoulder…[Read more] - Load More
