vothgirl started the topic Fabric sources? in the forum oliver + s: parachute polo + sweatpants 10 years ago
I love the idea of sewing sweatpants that would actually fit my lanky girls for fall. I’d love to get some tips on where to find good quality cotton sweatshirt fleece, especially with cute prints like the stars and the floral design. Last fall I bought some (inexpensive) fleece from “that huge online store” and am pretty disappointed in its…[Read more]

There was a really interesting series on my local radio station about this recently, they took a t-shirt and traced it as far back as they could, all the way to the cotton production, I think? Let me see if I can dig up a link for you. Very interesting topic!

No cable here either but we have Hulu. I love Nashville and The Mindy Project. Hubby is in NYC tonight so I will be able to catch up on my chick shows and yes, I have some hand sewing to do too 🙂

There was a blog post I recall about the birthday party dress, but I believe it had to do with how you construct the bodice lining (because you fold and crease it, then unfold it to stitch it). I don’t recall there being anything about the hem but let me have a peep and see if I can find it.

Sarvi replied to the topic japanese tana lawn at spotlight on in the forum off topic 10 years ago
Do you guys know if this is Tana (Liberty’s lawn) or the Japanese cotton lawn Spotlight had before? Nicole sent me some of that and I have been hoarding it. It’s gorgeous, with a crisper hand than Tana, I think it will hold pleats better and I have it in mind for a Music Class blouse. Just wanting to check since a friend recently posted a photo of…[Read more]

Okay, I’ve sewed up the 4th Oliver+S skirt! You can see my blog post here. (http://skirtfixation.com/2015/04/22-pleated-skirt-and-blouse-all-the-skirts-olivers-and-fat-quarter-shop/) I think I’ve made it more difficult by deciding to sew all the tops with the skirts too! But who could leave out those sweet little tops?
Also since it was Kids…[Read more] -
Masha Richart replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago
My plans to make a single swimsuit during Kids Clothes Week turned into a mad rush to complete a million garments – mostly knits. I’ve cut up some old dresses of my mom with sentimental significance and made little sundresses for her granddaughters, made a few pairs of summer pjs for the boy and finished up the baby WIPs that have been sitting in…[Read more]
