@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.

Thanks, @sewgirl23! I’m glad you’re going to make it, and it’s really good to know that the photos help! Cheers.

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!

That’s a good idea — I read much more than I comment, or I get busy but bookmark things for future use — but it must seem like radio silence from the other end!
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

Interesting, Sarvi! Thanks for the explanation.

Hey, will everyone who followed/follows the sew-along do me a favor and leave a quick note here telling us you made use of it? It will help a lot with deciding whether to do more sew-alongs in the future if we can gauge the level of interest and participation.

Cheers!

Hm, good question! I assumed as the thread starter you’d have an edit button somewhere, but perhaps I have made an ASS of U and ME as the old saying goes.

May Grey (and its buddy, June Gloom) are weird patches of overcast skies that come along between Spring and Summer here in Los Angeles. You’ve been having a nice time hiking in April, then you lose the blue skies (but oddly enough, not the penetrating heat of the sun — so if you look outside you’ll want to grab a sweater, but then you open your…[Read more]

Yay! The suits look great. I love the boning and all the “grown up” lady aspects of this pattern. I’ll miss the sewalong deadline but I’m right behind you, just six months behind… 🙂
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

What’s May Grey, Sarvi?
Sarvi replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

Those are really nice, I like the cut a lot particularly on the bottoms. That’s something I can wear. I am still looking for the right fabric — and sewing time — but would love to get a pair done by the time May Grey is over in Los Angeles.
Sarvi replied to the topic Question about sending private messages in the forum about the forums 9 years ago

Tamara, could I suggest editing the title of this thread to read “question about sending private messages” or similar as it appears Leslie might have mistaken this for a private conversation between the two of you.
Sarvi replied to the topic Sizing question in the forum oliver + s: popover 9 years ago

Looks like the Popover Dress size chart lists garment measurements rather than body measurements. Looking at the body measurement chart for another pattern, 22.5″ puts you in a size 4 — so it sounds like your cute dress with the size 6 chest can accommodate any surprise growth spurts this summer and perhaps take you through winter as well, with a…[Read more]
Sarvi replied to the topic Merino source in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I have bought from the Fabric Store and the quality is fabulous. I wonder whether Rockywoods would have anything suitable?
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

And that’s a wrap! You’re going to show me your suits, too, right?
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

Hello, everyone. Hope you had a great weekend! Day 4 of the sew-along is up and ready for you…
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Merino source in the forum off topic 9 years ago

@justsewit I have always gone in person yo the Melbourne store. There are stores in Wellington (NZ), Sydney & Melbourne (Aus) and Los Angeles (U.S.A.)
I guess they’d ship from whichever had stock and was closest to you.
Now that it has turned cold I want a wardrobe full of merino fleece long sleeved tees!

Too big. Oh well off to Flickr.

I will have to look into foldover elastic. I’ve never seen or used it.

I was thinking of buying adjustable strap stuff so it lasts longer in terms of sizing. (Btw- the dress turned out stinkin cute- I’ll post on Flickr). I used a Lisette lawn and some yellow trim. Added jump rope pockets. A little ruffle. It’s a bad picture. But so cute. We…[Read more]
juliamom2009 replied to the topic Sizing question in the forum oliver + s: popover 9 years ago

I did a Popover dress using fold-over elastic in the past. It worked great. I measured the dress on my daughter and sewed the FOE into a circle and applied it folded over the armhole. In fact, I just finished up another Popover. Intended to use fold-over elastic again but couldn’t find it in my disaster of a sewing room. Literally, the minute…[Read more]
