thesimpson5 started the topic Help with fitting at back please! in the forum liesl + co: bistro dress 9 years ago

I could use a little help here sewing friends. I’ve successfully made a small bust alteration and feel really good about my muslin as far as that goes. However, the backside has some problems and I’m not sure whether to adjust the darts or adjust at the center back seam. I tried taking it in some along the center back seam, but that didn’t seem to…[Read more]

I finished 3 Deer and Doe tees and one drafted from a favourite body shirt (very fitted for wearing under shirts).

I am not sure what Modal actually is, @needlewoman (off to Google) but it is very stretchy with great recovery but tricky to handle.

I may have likened it to sewing snot 😉
Nicole replied to the topic Finishing knits in the forum oliver + s: school bus t-shirt 9 years ago

Hi @eboyd83.

The main thing, with hemming knits, is keeping enough ease and stretch so that the hem doesn’t ‘pop’ when being worn or put on and off.

I have a cover-stitch machine (which is great when it works). Before that, I used to neaten the raw edge with a zig zag, turn press and then stitch with a large stitch (3.5) stretching in the fabric…[Read more]

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.

@Liesl I was lucky that is was sized for him so I didn’t have to fit at all. I enjoyed it but I am ready to move on to some quicker projects.

I can’t wait to see…[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!
Nicole replied to the topic a c-thru metric ruler… seems to be elusive in the USA! in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

I have the one sold in the O+S store, I use it all the time.
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

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!
