Thank you for the email. Heidi is right. It is another reason to love this. Also an errata makes me feel better. I was like.. hmmm… am I insane? Can I not sew?
Now off to download my new digital copy with the errata fixed! Another reason to love it. I get a new “fixed” copy of the pattern!

How about the lawn/shirting weights from Yoshiko Jinzenji (sp?) — they make terrific little shirts and aren’t too hot.

Hi all,
So I think I figured out why the polo placket was giving some of you issues. We’ve issued an errata for the pattern, so check the page before you sew your next one. However, rest assured that if you’ve already started sewing one it will still work without the corrections! You’ll just apply the collar a little differently and start from…[Read more]

Do you still have the piece that you cut out? could you tape it back in place? I’m sure you’d have thought of that already. I don’t know if I have the smaller size but when I get a chance I’ll have a look and see.

I added an inch to the centre front fold and the back for a baby Bubble dress, it was a lovely poofi-ness.

Sarvi replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago
Most annoyed that I couldn’t find a good piece of linen suitable for the Sandbox trousers — wound up cutting them from a sandy cotton … something, not sure what to call it. Not twill, but heavier weight, like that. Speck of stretch to it, I think, it’s a bit hard to tell.
Testing a bubble with extra-long bodice (hoping to sneak it past the…[Read more]

Sarvi replied to the topic Tips for fabric shopping in New York in the forum off topic 10 years ago
You know, I’m afraid I actually wound up not doing any fabric shopping, as I was there for only a very short time, so I tried to only see/do/eat things I couldn’t get at home or online. I did pop into Purl Soho because it was close to something else I wanted to visit, and I did go to the wonderfully-named Tender Buttons, which I very highly…[Read more]

Oh, and that cute fabric is called Brambleberry Ridge.

Audrey started the topic Using woven fabric for the Hopscotch Top in the forum oliver + s: hopscotch 10 years ago
I just wanted to let everyone know I was able to use woven fabric for part of the Hopscotch top! This opens up a lot of possible fabric combinations. I thought it might work, and sure enough, I replaced the front with woven fabric and it worked.

Hi @admin — I’m terribly sorry but I’m afraid I’m not able to recall what I was using at the time. I feel it *should* be in Chrome on my MacBook but I’m not seeing it any longer. I can give you version numbers and a screencap of what I see now, if you like.

admin replied to the topic Hey, what's wrong here? in the forum about the forums 10 years ago
As @justmejay and others have mentioned, I agree that the @mention thing is kind of weird and doesn’t work how you might expect. Sadly, I don’t think I can fix this easily since it’s a deeper level issue in our forums software. However, I have made a tweak that makes the autocomplete of @mentions work in the reply box, which should help to some…[Read more]

I am bringing this thread back from the semi-dead.
@Sarvi: In this comment do you know what device and/or browser you see that issue with? I’ve been trying to figure out under what conditions that happens.
