Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years agoThe 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

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years agoTucks 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.

Gigi’s most worn was a pair of afterschool pants. Teal baby corduroy embroidered with hot pink roses.
Least worn/loved? Book report dress.

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]

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 11 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 11 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.
(this is the 6-12 months on my 18…[Read more] -

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago@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 11 years agoWhenever 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.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years agoHi 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]

Firstly, when did she become 6months?????? Gah, they grow too fast!
I’d say Class Picnic and Sleepover PJ’s get the most love here. Oh, and swingset tunic. Honestly, I’d make more 2+2, but I need to hunt down the larger set LOL. I also plan to make some Playdates, because those are perfect with leggings. I need to make some of my…[Read more]

Least worn: just about anything I made when my oldest was 2 or 3. She was SO picky about clothes. I had a gorgeous gray corduroy Jumprope View B that I think got worn five times, and only after much cajoling and threatening.
Most worn: Playtime leggings, all eight pairs that I have sewn. Two were worn to pieces and others outgrown. Also the…[Read more]

Cooking and Baking 11 years agoMy stepmom got me a CostCo gift card for Christmas. This might sound like a weird gift, but actually, I loved it. There certain things I’m weirdly stingy about, like Swiffers and Magic Erasers. I now have a lifetime supply of those. I did sneak in a few non-practical items, like an ENORMOUS bag of shelled pistachios. As I discovered the last time…[Read more]

I think my most worn garments are the two matching floral Jump Rope dresses I made when Sofia was 3. They both wore them a lot and now Sofia has started wearing the pink one I made Isabel.
Least worn was also an After School set, and the Class Picnic shorts I made Isabel. But Sofia found those and started using them for gym so all hope isn’t lost.
