I feel strange posting about this but as I feel I have gotten to know many of you over the last years, here goes. My husband suffered a stroke yesterday morning. He is in the intensive care unit at the hospital and in critical condition. His left side is completely paralyzed. He is only 37 years old and we have no idea what happened. Our lives…[Read more]

Nicole replied to the topic Patterns from other companies? in the forum Sewing for Yourself 9 years ago
First tip from me, when I sew a muslin, I put my seams on the out side, easier to alter.
#1 It appears you need to take fabric from the back piece, not the front. Unpick and move the back until you get the right fit, then pin and re-mark and trim to your new seams.
#2 That bust dart looks pretty good and your front arm looks nice!
#3 I wonder…[Read more]

My kid has got arms like an ape
There’s no way she’ll fit in this cape
I’ve lengthened and lengthened
Reinforced seams and strengthened -

I can’t see any problems with that Ellen. If you get ticked off, blame me 😉
If you are nervous, perhaps post a link to a Flickr photo and people can comment on that?

Nicole replied to the topic Washing the Garden Party dress? And two changes I made… in the forum oliver + s: garden party 9 years ago
When I made mine, http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/the-garden-party-tutorial-part-one.html, I added a wee spot of interfacing to the bottom of the ‘V’ and also sewed the’V’ with a narrower stitch
Both dresses have washed like rags.
One washing tip from me, reduce spin and goffer the gathers a little and then let the…[Read more]

I hope that is it and they work well next time. I am sure your little one will look as cute as can be in ‘garden grubbies’

Nicole replied to the topic Yoke not wide enough in the forum oliver + s: after-school 9 years ago
I can hear your frustration and I am very sorry for it.
I made a smaller size here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/after-school-frolics-part-two.html
This size seemed to be fine.This is a curved seam which will need easing.
Please don’t lose heart. 🙂

Nicole replied to the topic Yoke not wide enough in the forum oliver + s: after-school 9 years ago
Hi Sonja, I think you may have answered your own question.
As there are many seams that make the ‘body’ of the trousers, if you make all your seam allowances a bit narrow, the yoke will be too small.
I think I did the same with my first pair.An easy fix, if this happens again and you have topstitched your seams, is to add a bit of easing through…[Read more]

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Printing Digital Patterns in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago
Even though they print from rolls, many 36″-wide printers are only able to print pieces up to a certain maximum length. I forget the exact length now (I always need to look it up when we have a long pattern), but it’s around 80-90 inches or so. If a pattern ends up being longer than this, we have to split it onto two sheets so it comes in under…[Read more]
