Liesl Gibson started the topic sewing for men in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

As I’m developing some new patterns I’ve been wondering: how many of you sew or would like to sew for the men in your life? And what would you like to sew for them?

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Cotton/nylon blend fabric? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Have you tried the Outdoor Ready series on our blog? As I recall, Ashley had a nice post there about sourcing fabric for purposes like this. I remember that Rose City Textiles was listed as an option, but maybe she mentioned others as well?

I hadn’t heard about this–sounds very interesting! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for posting. xo
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic The Limerick Thread in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I’m calling for clarification on that one @todd …
“wretch” (noun) a poor, miserable person.
“retch” (verb) to gag or vomit
“wrench” (verb) to twist and pull
I’m guessing, from context, you were going for wrench… Poetic license bring what it is, and this being a limerick thread on a sewing forum, you can make up any word/meaning you like of…[Read more]

Thank you.
Nicole replied to the topic The Limerick Thread in the forum off topic 9 years ago

The season for sewing has changed
My skirts and I are estranged
But my jackets and coats
Are garnering votes
Time for clothing, to be, exchanged.

I just want to sit down and sew!
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I finished my turn on the #sewingrota on a high with some gorgeous back jeans for me!
Three pairs of jeans, a denim shirt and four tee’s were a much needed injection of clothing in my wardrobe.

Now I am on to formal sewing, Zara’s first. Some gorgeous Gatsby inspired sequinned tulle.

Watch your sleeve cap, it may need a little pinched from it, it is easy to do after sewing.
I ave found (with a longer tee/tee dress) you can get some odd things happen at the shoulder due to the extra weight of the extra fabric.

Mama_Knowles replied to the topic Smocking in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years ago

I have added smocking to the bubble shorts, the garden party dress,tje fairy tale dress, and the sailboat top. I am working on a smocked popover dress as well. I think anything really could have a bit of smocking added to it.

@sewgirl23
I think the 2+2 would be gorgeous. Just under the tie, instead of the tab.
ASM Blue did a gorgeous Ice Cream blouse. I would use gingham, so I could stitch the squares, rather then pleat.

I still love French knots.

I think simple smocking looks cleaner and more modern.

Thanks for this, @snoutfair! It’s really helpful to us to know that these are useful to you, and the more feedback we receive the more likely we are to them again in the future. Thanks also for the reminder regarding the elastic; I’ll drop another email to Butterick to see if they can give me a number now!
