I just made myself a Deer and Doe Plantain tee in navy cotton/modal with (much to my daughters horror) silver sleeve patches.

I love it, although sewing modal is a slippery business.

This isn’t exactly Oliver and s but a Lisette pattern….

Ok was going really well on getting all this sewing out of the way and so this morning decided to go do the buttonholes (finally) on the denim Traveller dress for Imogen. I never bat an eyelid but during the day I was thinking about it (as one would do when they would rather be sewing over…[Read more]

Forgot to mention the completely gorgeous book report dress in denim with pink spots – super cute and the hopscotch dress and playtime leggings in giraffe and elephant knit from Spotlight – using this as a pj set. I have a pink city weekend interlock hopscotch dress needing to be hemmed also.

Oh no @scgoble! It is called life and your life features sewing machines. That is the complete downside of moving I think (happy move btw!)

I have set aside my jeans muslin in place of more kid sewing. I actually ran out of the “cheap” denim and hope to get more soon so I can continue on my merry jeans sewing way.

In the meantime I have made a…[Read more]

I’m sewing nothing! We are moving this summer and I had to pack away all the sewing machines and supplies to make the apartment more palatable to buyers who dont consider that stuff reasonable decor. Can you imagine?! 😉 I made the mistake of ordering two things from Spoonflower knowing that I couldn’t do anything with them. So now they’re just…[Read more]

Nicole, the instructions for the blazer would be quite involved, but the grading would be a nightmare! Maybe someday, but I need to rest my brain after writing that book. (Which is why I just jumped into writing some very detailed Liesl + Co patterns for fall, apparently???)

Can’t wait to see how the blazer turned out!

Whoops sorry @liesl I completely forgot you already carry one😳. I have one similar but it is only in inches not metric also. They are very handy little gadgets but sometimes you need to revert back and “translate” and with mine it is sligtly tricky without the use of a calculator (and even that is a mindbender).

I have the one sold in the O+S store, I use it all the time.

I finished my sons blazer, finally. It was a big sew. I now know why Liesl is not keen to make a kiddy size pattern…

Next, jeans for me!

@rebecca, it is much faster then a household machine and far more powerful.
It will sew a buttonhole on anything, even canvas (I am talking about tarp canvas).

It has a range of stitches, just like a domestic one.

I adore it.

Are you referring to the one we already carry?

I’m wondering, if Liesl might stock it in her shop if there was enough interest? The last link looked really great a d I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on some decent see throug rulers. And also the grid paper that is used for pattern making. It might help with the many many alterations I have to do.
