There are lots of lovely new faces popping in everyday so I thought I would bump this thread up.

Typically a sleeveless pattern has a much higher armhole than a pattern with sleeves, so you’ll want to raise the armhole when you try this. You’ll probably also need to do a little work to eliminate gaping at the armhole, so I’d definitely recommend making a muslin if you’re going to try this. But if the pattern fits properly across the chest you…[Read more]

Now there’s only 1 Oliver+S skirt pattern left for us to sew! This week we sewed up the Badminton Skort and Dress. Yep, another layering duo.

Because we all…[Read more]

Then you’ll just smooth the fabric so you don’t have any puckers before sewing it. Does that make sense?

More babies in the Flickr pool, and twins! I love it, congratulations @jax.
