Thank you for the link Liesl, I have this dress on Sarah’s list for winter. It’s simply gorgeous!

@deanna, I purchased a pair of blue jeans for S a while ago that had a second layer of fabric at the knees. It was simply sewn behind the main fabric at the location of the knees before the jeans were constructed, and it reinforced the fabric very nicely. I thought it was a great idea. I wish we still had them so I could take a photo for you!

I’m so glad that you’re all happy with it so far. We’ll have lots more fun things for you related to the book starting this week. Yesterday I cut out a new, longer version of the navy long-sleeved version (Dress B) that S was wearing in the book. It’s her favorite, and it was was too short after her growth spurt last year. Kaufman makes this…[Read more]

Thanks for checking, @nanamar! @Robin went and found it for me yesterday, but it was printed on a quilted poly knit that sounded not very nice. Too bad! It’s a stunning floral. I was wanting to make a dress with it. xo

Some of them love routine. My son loves his bedtime routine until he turned 8. Sigh… Those were the days!!!

Oh, and Michael Levine is in my neck of the woods. I’ll have a peek next time I’m there.

Christmas dress is all sketched out! Next to write diwny page numbers I will need. This week I will give the basic dress a test go for size and fit. Hopefully I can start on this one by mid next month!

Oh, this is amazing! Thank you so much, @timpson! @Robin, if you have a chance to look for it, I’m very interested in it. I’ve been told it’s a knit, but it doesn’t really look like it in the photo, does it?

Liesl, Fabricana is in my neck of the woods. I can check out the one in Coquitlam and Richmond if you would like.

The Building Block T-Shirt Book (not real) is my pet project 😅
I can’t wait to see what I can take from the dress book and do with a School Bus tee.
Here’s a t-shirt modification that never made it to the Oliver + S blog as a tutorial, for reasons that are now obvious!

I’m glad to hear that, @thesimpson5! I’m hoping that we’ll be able to make an announcement about a women’s book very soon. Keep your fingers crossed!

I’m so glad to hear you say that, @mama_knowles! @lightningmcstitch, I hope yours arrives soon. xo

My daughter is already jumping in on the fun too with her ideas. I have some great ideas for my boys too!! This book is even better than I imagined it would be. Thank you so much for all your hard work that went into this Liesl!

I’ve lost count of how many instagram posts I’ve seen with photos of newly delivered books. 🙂
Postage to here will be much slower but I’m still excited!

I’m so glad you’re all excited about this! We’re going to have a lot of fun with it, I promise.

My husband has learnt his line.
I say “check out this invisible zip”
He says “what zip?”
Every time.

He delivers it in such a deadpan, I know my role here, kind of way.
I’ll have to sew an exposed zipper one day and catch him out!

Well as of yesterday I was back to sewing a bit. I am so close to finishing up Caspian’s quilt top and really want to see it finished too. Poor fellow has four more he is awaiting for mommy to finish as well. Two are sail boats which are so quick to sew and the other sketchbook which are quick as well.i plan on layering all of his sketchbook…[Read more]
