Call me a cab ‘cuz I’m late
Once again there’s too much on my plate
A skirt and some pants
To wear to a dance
A a new dress – perhaps Roller Skate!

I “thrifted” an old orange chair
Masha Richart replied to the topic Easter/spring sewing? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Two of my younger siblings got engaged over the holidays and are planning fall weddings – my four children and my niece and nephew will be in the weddings. I will be sewing two sets of three flower girls’ dresses and hopefully just the one set of three Art Museum ensembles that the boys will wear for both. My sister and I chose a light gray cotton…[Read more]

I knew you’d have something great planned, @mama_knowles! Can’t wait to see.

Since many of us are spending lots of time indoors during the colder months, it’s a great chance to start planning spring sewing. What’s in store at your house? Any big plans? Colorful projects in the works? Do tell!

There’s nothing that I would like more
Then to visit a distant shore
Lend a hand to a mate
Who is learning to skate
Ice dancing in Spain I adore!

Todd Gibson replied to the topic What's for Tea Today, Mum? A cooking thread. in the forum Cooking and Baking 10 years ago

Forty-five degrees Celsius?!? Is that for real? If it’s that hot outside, you wouldn’t need to cook the Bolognese on the stove. Just throw all the raw ingredients in a pot in the morning and set it outside in the sun for the day. By the time the sun goes down at night, you’ll have a finished sauce waiting for you!

Stay cool.

Here’s a little Liesl + Co. secret. I do all the company’s cooking.

One of the things I like to do on days when I can work from home (which is most days now in Madrid) is make a good Bolognese sauce. I spent today making my famous “All Day Bolognese,” and @admin asked me for my recipe.

I never use recipes; I cook by feel. So I wrote up for him…[Read more]

thesimpson5 started the topic Maritime in woven fabric in the forum liesl + co: maritime knit top 10 years ago

I just recently made the Maritime in a woven cotton, making it a peplum top according to Liesl’s instructions from the blog last week. I did use one size bigger than I measured since I wasn’t using a knit, but I didn’t think about extra seam allowance before I cut my fabric. I wen’t ahead and sewed it up using the 1/4″ SA according to the…[Read more]

Nicole replied to the topic Women's jeans patterns in the forum off topic 10 years ago

@with-love-heidi Yes!
Black coated denim, navy and light blue. Jeans and shirts is a pretty standard uniform for me.
Nicole replied to the topic Child classic jeans pattern? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Kwik Sew do a very nice jeans pattern that is easy to adjust due to the pattern layout.

I have had good success adapting the Sketchbook shorts too.
Nicole replied to the topic Add a full lining to the dress in the forum oliver + s: puppet show 10 years ago

Hi @sallycsklarsky, I have been mulling this over for a few days now.

May I point out my tute https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143876173067/ ? Have a look at that and I will come back and add how I think a lining may work.

Sorry not to be more help.

xx Nicole
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Fabric Minimum in the forum liesl + co: woodland stroll cape 10 years ago

Ack, that’s the worst! I narrowly squeezed out my Lisette pjs from the Liberty I purchased before the pattern was finished, and I was sweating that it wouldn’t work out. I spent more time arranging pattern pieces in create ways than I did cutting and sewing, I think!
Nicole replied to the topic Women's jeans patterns in the forum off topic 10 years ago

@dubhels2003 , did you buy some after your meeting?

I just purchased some black coated denim (not from there, I wish) and I am itching for it to be my turn on the #sewingrota.

I am sorry for your loss @thejennigirl.

First day back at school tomorrow. Fingers crossed Lidia gets away with her Croquet #sneakyschooluniform. https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/24181472982/in/album-72157662616182800/

Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I am so pleased Shelley. I have made that size before and it worked so I assumed your fabric must have stretched.

I just need to sew the button hole on Elsa’s blazer and it is done!

Next, a pair of navy Deer and Doe shorts for school.
