Nicole replied to the topic Full bust adjustment in the forum liesl + co: woodland stroll cape 10 years ago
*I have not made this* but I have seen lots of different versions on lots of body shapes. I think it has enough ease not to need a FBA.
I am very happy to be corrected 🙂

This is definitely Melanie’s field, @Willanna. I have a blog post here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143875948321/ in which I underlined velvet spotted tulle.
However, I would use this method http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/added-a-skirt-lining-how-do-i-sew-the-zipper for the lining.
Good luck!

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago@cybele727 …. can’t do the link or attachment either.
Maybe we should ask @FrancesSuzanne to do tips on heirloom sewing AND internet stuff. One of them is a graphic designer and can rock the web! -

I’d call it more of a blazer than a jacket, per se. You probably wouldn’t be able to layer a sweater under it, but you could wear it over a light blouse or T-shirt.

When I click either link or reply nothing happens.
I truly think the internet is part voodoo, part magic and for me, most of what I try to do is jinxed 🙂 -

My least worn, but personal favorite, was Abby’s Ice Cream top: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52761227@N04/8068829007/in/album-72157631200589734/
She wore it less than 5 times.
She had two hopscotch tops she wore holes in to, one that she would wear multiple times a week.Jack wears his sandbox pant/shorts multiple times a week. I told him…[Read more]

Lots of great reading and some great tips.
After quizzing my chiblings we worked out the most worn was this https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/5444046339/in/set-72157625138776927
A Sailboat top in navy/white cotton lycra. Liddy is now wearing it after it was passed on to the Twins. -
Nicole replied to the topic 2+2 skort in the forum oliver + s: 2 + 2 10 years ago
*From memory* you will need to add maybe an inch or so to the top of the shorts?
I would add extra, sort of pin (with safety pins) the skirt and shorts together, and try them on the child.If you take out the placket, make sure the skirt will be wide enough to pull up.
I, very recently, added the Tea Party bloomers to the Hopscotch skirt, it…[Read more]

Nicole replied to the topic Fit on Sunday Brunch in the forum oliver + s: sunday brunch 10 years ago
I found the Sunday Brunch a fait-to-generous fit. I would not have layered it over a jumper (sweater) but my girls always got a good amount of wear from their corresponding size.
The added bonus is it looks really cute a little fitted.

(this is the 6-12 months on my 18…[Read more] -

Hands down, the most worn O+S item in our house:

Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum
Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoWhenever possible, I use the tucked hem method on O+S patterns. On occasion, I’ve made 2 tucks on the hem and added embroidery on one of the tucks.
I’d like to see pin tucks on the Lullaby (onesie). You could figure out how much width to add to the front pieces saving me the effort (LOL!) because as you know my sewing room is in dispose.

Masha Richart replied to the topic Most and Least Worn O+S Outfit? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago
Least worn: just about anything I made when my oldest was 2 or 3. She was SO picky about clothes. I had a gorgeous gray corduroy Jumprope View B that I think got worn five times, and only after much cajoling and threatening.
Most worn: Playtime leggings, all eight pairs that I have sewn. Two were worn to pieces and others outgrown. Also the…[Read more]

I think my most worn garments are the two matching floral Jump Rope dresses I made when Sofia was 3. They both wore them a lot and now Sofia has started wearing the pink one I made Isabel.
Least worn was also an After School set, and the Class Picnic shorts I made Isabel. But Sofia found those and started using them for gym so all hope isn’t lost.

It was the Sunkissed sunhat but I did go all LTTS bucket hat on the construction. -
