Nicole replied to the topic Full bust adjustment in the forum liesl + co: woodland stroll cape 10 years ago

*I have not made this* but I have seen lots of different versions on lots of body shapes. I think it has enough ease not to need a FBA.

I am very happy to be corrected 🙂
Nicole replied to the topic Finishing a lace edge? in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

This is definitely Melanie’s field, @Willanna. I have a blog post here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143875948321/ in which I underlined velvet spotted tulle.

However, I would use this method http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/added-a-skirt-lining-how-do-i-sew-the-zipper for the lining.

Good luck!

@cybele727 …. can’t do the link or attachment either.
Maybe we should ask @FrancesSuzanne to do tips on heirloom sewing AND internet stuff. One of them is a graphic designer and can rock the web!

@Deb
I still can’t figure out how to insert a link or an attachment of correct size.

I am like magneto at times. I just approach it and it doesn’t work.
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Fit on Sunday Brunch in the forum oliver + s: sunday brunch 10 years ago

I’d call it more of a blazer than a jacket, per se. You probably wouldn’t be able to layer a sweater under it, but you could wear it over a light blouse or T-shirt.

@cybele727
When I click either link or reply nothing happens.
I truly think the internet is part voodoo, part magic and for me, most of what I try to do is jinxed 🙂

Deb,
Maybe it is just me, but when I click on that link, I am told I don’t have access to that account. I think you posted a link that is for the author of a page, and since the blog id is a number, we can’t search for the blog…..
Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

Dang… my last post entry was directed to Frances/Suzanne but the link didn’t appear. Ooops.
Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

The hem tucks I was referring to are also called growth tucks. I use that method every chance and a tute is here:https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5163707322010726966#editor/target=post;postID=5881343318468516870;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=100;src=postname

Tucks on the garden party dress. That bodice is perfect for that. Some awesome box pleats or narrow pintucks.

I think for the preteen girls it is a really flattering top because it can disguise new “growth” that they might not yet be comfortable with.
cybele727 replied to the topic Most and Least Worn O+S Outfit? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Gigi’s most worn was a pair of afterschool pants. Teal baby corduroy embroidered with hot pink roses.

Least worn/loved? Book report dress.
Brittney replied to the topic Most and Least Worn O+S Outfit? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

My least worn, but personal favorite, was Abby’s Ice Cream top: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52761227@N04/8068829007/in/album-72157631200589734/
She wore it less than 5 times.
She had two hopscotch tops she wore holes in to, one that she would wear multiple times a week.

Jack wears his sandbox pant/shorts multiple times a week. I told him…[Read more]
Nicole replied to the topic Most and Least Worn O+S Outfit? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Lots of great reading and some great tips.
After quizzing my chiblings we worked out the most worn was this https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/5444046339/in/set-72157625138776927
A Sailboat top in navy/white cotton lycra. Liddy is now wearing it after it was passed on to the Twins.
Nicole replied to the topic 2+2 skort in the forum oliver + s: 2 + 2 10 years ago

*From memory* you will need to add maybe an inch or so to the top of the shorts?
I would add extra, sort of pin (with safety pins) the skirt and shorts together, and try them on the child.

If you take out the placket, make sure the skirt will be wide enough to pull up.

I, very recently, added the Tea Party bloomers to the Hopscotch skirt, it…[Read more]
Nicole replied to the topic Fit on Sunday Brunch in the forum oliver + s: sunday brunch 10 years ago

I found the Sunday Brunch a fait-to-generous fit. I would not have layered it over a jumper (sweater) but my girls always got a good amount of wear from their corresponding size.

The added bonus is it looks really cute a little fitted.

@Deb Yes, tucks on the lullaby layette would be super sweet!! Don’t you want to do the math for US?? @withloveheidi Growth tucks = GENIUS!!! Must remember that… @justsewit Sewing crosshatched tucks are in our near future :). We’ve not attempted these yet, so wish us luck!

Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

Whenever possible, I use the tucked hem method on O+S patterns. On occasion, I’ve made 2 tucks on the hem and added embroidery on one of the tucks.

I’d like to see pin tucks on the Lullaby (onesie). You could figure out how much width to add to the front pieces saving me the effort (LOL!) because as you know my sewing room is in dispose.
Frances Suzanne started the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

Hi all! We’ve got an upcoming post over on the O+S blog about using the “heirloom technique” of tucks in Oliver and S Patterns. Not the ones that already have them….like the Family Reunion or Music Class…but thinking out of the box a bit more. Anyway, we’ve selected 2 O+S patterns to incorporate tucks within. QUESTION: Which patterns would you…[Read more]
