@libloucks, can you give a link to the one you’re referring to? I’m trying to remember which blog post this was and it’s not coming to mind. A quick search hasn’t helped, either.

Emily, our patterns are sold for personal, noncommercial use only. We ask that people not make and sell items from them for personal profit. But not everyone gets that message….

Hi @creativerose Rosie, I would suspect it may stop at a size 2t but I really can’t be sure as I am sewing Oliver and s for a baby for the first time (my other two are much older).
Alot of ladies just size up, especially if they use the flannelette variety. You could always do this and that would entitle you to pants/ bottoms that would fit well…[Read more]

needlewoman replied to the topic Sizing/fit for the blouse in the forum oliver + s: butterfly blouse + skirt 8 years ago
Hi Enbee, much of my sewing is done for kids that I’m not able to measure my myself so I hear what you are saying. I’ve made the Butterfly skirt, and blouse a few times now, and as Sarvi says, the patterns are pretty forgiving – especially if your nieces are slim in build. If you can beg a chest measurement, and a length measurement (from shoulder…[Read more]

I’m listening/watching the latest season while illustrating fall patterns. Is it me, or is everyone talking at 150% speed? Maybe I’m out of practice in speaking/listening to English?

Sarvi replied to the topic Sizing/fit for the blouse in the forum oliver + s: butterfly blouse + skirt 8 years ago
It’s not a narrow fit, and I think the style of the cut is pretty forgiving. Maybe add a bit to the blouse and a bit to the peplum? I made a 5 for my daughter who’s gotten to be a 6 in height but still a 5 in circumference, and the blouse looks just as nice now, I think.

I finished the orange corduroy sandbox pants for baby C, and Miss I. While the size 3 sandbox pics went to Flickr just fine, the pic of Miss I wearing them, just wouldn’t! So I’m attaching here. Her grandmother tried many times to get the ‘perfect’ shot but missy was determined to play up, sticking out her tongue etc. Still it’s a happy shot, and…[Read more]

Patterns for blokes would be wonderful from the O + S team. Short/long sleeve shirt; smart shorts (second the idea of flat front waistband with elastic back, pj bottoms, shaving jacket/dressing gown. I not interested in items requiring knits but I’m sure many women will be. PS. a pattern for making a tie would be great, too.

Oh @Sarvi you have brightened my day and my migraine is almost gone! I’m afraid I have no clue🙁 Would it be like leisure wear?
Yesterday I cut out two music class blouses amd started on one of them last night. They are both of brushed cotton but one is floral and the other plan.
This morning I plan to finish off the music box dress I made…[Read more]

I think this dress would be lovely in wool, but bear in mind that it is unlined, for one, and a long full dress, too. You’d want to select your wool carefully to be sure it felt nice against your skin, and the dress didn’t feel too heavy or stiff.

Sarvi replied to the topic Adjustment advice in the forum liesl + co: cinema dress 8 years ago
Hi, when I shortened the yoke on mine, I removed one inch from the bottom edge of the yoke, and raised the center skirt by a corresponding one inch. To remove fullness I would narrow the center skirt by moving the pattern piece past the fold, so the left and right edges were the same, but there was less width. I’m not sure if that’s the kind of…[Read more]

What is a ‘lounge set’ for children? I am supposed to make one by Friday, but not sure I have ever seen a 6 year old lounge.

@todd if sewing for you means I “have to” take a trip to Spain for fittings then yes, I will volunteer. Can’t make any promises about the quality of my work, post-sangria. Might find my husband and daughter suddenly making themselves invaluable as tracers of patterns and stitchers of buttons.

Sarvi replied to the topic another question! in the forum Sewing for Yourself 8 years ago
I’m another no-intentional-bra-strapper, and while I keep meaning to buy a different style of bra that will allow me to wear a racerback style (which I actually find very comfortable as well as liking how it looks) I somehow have never gotten around to it, which probably reveals something.
