Oh yes! That would be an idea.

Do you especially want to include a placket, either for looks or ease of dressing? Because otherwise that looks not unlike a Class Picnic top (possibly available on clearance!) with a bit of elastic gathering at the wrist end of the sleeve.

Oh! Of course — my reading comprehension is not so hot before my morning coffee kicks in! 6″ should be plenty and nana can always trim if needed.

Hi @mmollett what a lovely dress! I can see why you are so inspired by it.
Do you own the Lullaby layette pattern at all? And more importantly is the little one you are sewing for wearing a size 24months or smaller? I can see a happy and very close adaptation of the linked dress using the top of this pattern and that is why I asked.
The sleeves…[Read more]

Thank you Sarvi; I realise some very poor punctuation/sentence construction does infer that ‘nana’s size’ is relevant. Of course, it’s not! The child is size 8, and lives interstate so it will be her grandmother who will be securing the fit of the elastic on the child. I’ve decided to cut a 6″ piece, and feel reasonably confident that should be…[Read more]

Sarvi replied to the topic Elastic length for Sleeve casing in bigger sizes in the forum oliver + s: class picnic 8 years ago
Sorry, I guess I’m not clear on the relevance of the grandmother’s size? I’ve made the size 5 and found the elastic to be fine. It is a pretty gentle sort of elastic that fits in there (you’re not meant to use that very stiff, heavy waistband type of elastic) and it’s really just giving a bit of gentle gather/ease for dressing to a bit of the…[Read more]

needlewoman started the topic Elastic length for Sleeve casing in bigger sizes in the forum oliver + s: class picnic 8 years ago
Currently, I’m making a number of Class Picnic tops, including a size 8 that will be sent interstate. I’m concerned that the length of the elastic suggested for the sleeve casings in the larger sizes is the same as the smaller pattern range; ie. 5″. Can someone who has made the CP blouse in size 6, and up let me know if the length of elastic…[Read more]

needlewoman replied to the topic Bias casing, Pattern piece 5 missing in the forum oliver + s: class picnic 8 years ago
Hi Charlene, isn’t that annoying when a pattern piece goes ‘walkabout’? The dimensions of the bias casing pattern piece are 8.5″x 1.5″ for all sizes in your pattern’s range. You’ll find this cut piece is very generous for the smaller sleeve sizes; obviously you cut two, on the bias. Hope you will post a picture of your finished garment.

Oh yes it does😀 And it would be nursing friendly (not like a rtw cross over top I tried nursing in and the tiny press stud popped off first go😱. Thank goodness for Aunties with safety pins😜). I think I need it😉.
I think I also need to (seriously) trace the 12-18 month size of the puppet show shorts as (sigh!) I finally finished the (very cute if…[Read more]

Well that could be a real “out of the box” type thing. It could be colours, the kind of fabric and print of fabric and also the pairing of fabric and sewing pattern. It could be a really surprising project to undertake (and take a look at). I guess it could have the potential of what it would be like to make something in the kitchen without so…[Read more]

Yes, it’s her first pattern. She’s specifically designing for curves, larger busts and larger sizes. It works well on my (proportionlly) short waisted pear shape, better with the waist ties at the back than the front. So nice to make only one pattern adjustment rather than lots!
Tamara, it would also be nursing friendly 🙂 -
