As I responded on Instagram, you just need to find the template for the placket, which is separate from the pattern piece itself and is located right next to it on the pattern sheet.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Proper Sizing for busty girl?? in the forum liesl + co: enmore halter dress + top 2 years ago
Erica, thanks for your reply! And indeed, since this style doesn’t have shoulders I wouldn’t worry about that. Look at the bust measurement. If you need to do a full bust adjustment for the shelf bra you could also add room through the front (maybe just move the fold line out a bit from the fold to keep things easy), and the shelf bra will keep it…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Help needed with shoulder adjustment please in the forum liesl + co: fira dress + top 2 years ago
Hmm, I’m looking at your photos and you’re right; something is pulling the dress back. I’m wondering if it could be the neck neck? Because it’s designed to be quite high I wonder if it’s being forced lower and that’s causing the entire dress to pull back. Let me think about this a little more and if I have any other ideas I’ll tell you. I’ll also…[Read more]

Dawn, all seam allowances are 1/2″ on that pattern.

Hi Kanataji, you sound confused! It’s difficult to make suggestions without seeing how the muslin is fitting on you. Is there any way you can post photos?

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Fira dress…please help with yoke instructions in the forum liesl + co: melville cardigan + vest 2 years ago
Hi Wonderly, is this where you are?
4. Keeping the edges of the outer yoke folded, align and pin it to the yoke lining (the unfolded yoke) with right sides together. Stitch the neckline and the sleeve edges with a 1/2″ seam, backstitching or lockstitching at both ends.
5. Trim the stitched seam allowances to 1/4″. Turn the yoke right-side out…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Question on the set-in sleeve in the forum liesl + co: easton cowl-neck tee 2 years ago
Hi there, I’m both the designer and the model in the photos. The two tops are the same size but made from different fabrics. The blue is cotton with spandex and the yellow is rayon with spandex, which drapes more and looks more clingy. In both tops the shoulder actually fits at the shoulder, but I think for the blue top I just didn’t adjust it…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Adding sleeves to the Marais? in the forum liesl + co: marais knit dress + top 2 years ago
I’m in total agreement. Sleeveless styles usually don’t extent out to the shoulder to accomodate a sleeve, so it’s much easier to copy the armhole of a garment with sleeves if you want to add them. Thanks, @lightningmcstitch!

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Assembling PDF patterns in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 2 years ago
You need to choose a paper or digital pattern from the start. All our digital patterns have a title that begins with the word “digital”. If a pattern title does not begin with the word “digital” it is the paper version.
The digital Fira Dress is found here:

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Cuffs flaring out? in the forum liesl + co: all day shirt 2 years ago
I would imagine it has to do with stretching the cuff, but it should return to the correct shape with a little steam and some coaxing!

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Alternate cuffs in the forum liesl + co: gallery tunic + dress 2 years ago
Sure, I would imagine you could use the Classic Shirt or any of our other shirt/blouse patterns with a cuff and with a few adjustments you could have a more traditional cuff if you prefer.

I would suggest taking her measurements and comparing them to our size chart–that’s always the best bet! You can even use our handy free measurement chart to help you!

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Pattern pieces for front of jacket – Grainlines not matching. in the forum liesl + co: yanaka jacket 3 years ago
Oh, I see what you are saying now.
Yes, the center lines should match up on all pieces. The grain lines are just for indication of how to place the pattern piece on your fabric. They don’t need to match up exactly between pieces. As long as they are pointing in the same direction on both pieces (which they do) you’ll be fine.

It could be that the pieces have not been tiled together correctly. Can you upload photos?

Nicole replied to the topic Liesl and Co Woodland Cape in the forum liesl + co: woodland stroll cape 3 years ago
It is very roomy @sewrosey61 as it fastens with a side button.
This lovely pattern is my go to as a teacher gift. My last version was sewn for a AUS size 20.
(My tip, attach the button with elastic so it has some ease)
Alternatively, I think you could make a wee tab that has buttons on each end.Good luck!

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Yanaka broad shoulder adjustment in the forum liesl + co: yanaka jacket 3 years ago
Without seeing it on you I’d probably be inclined to make a larger size and taper the seams if needed, to get a closer fit through the torso.

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Assembling PDF patterns in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 3 years ago
Our PDF patterns are a little different than others in that you do not assemble a whole, large pattern sheet with all the pieces on it. Instead, you will be assembling the individual pieces one by one. (Why put them all together in a large sheet only to immediately cut them apart, right?) The tiled pieces do not fit together into a single sheet,…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Marais in non- stretch woven in the forum liesl + co: marais knit dress + top 3 years ago
As far as I know it hasn’t been done. The pattern was specifically designed for knits, so I’m afraid I can’t offer any advice here. It may be worth a try if you’re willing to fiddle with it, but I can’t offer any assurances since it’s outside of the scope of the pattern itself.
