Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Lengthen culottes in the forum oliver + s: lunch box tee + culottes 9 years ago

The culottes have a very dropped crotch, so this is one pattern where you’d probably get away with not making changes.
However, beware making such big size changes as you’ll lose the proportions of the pattern and could end up with something quite odd.
Perhaps you could make the 2T with size 4 leg length.
You could run a tape measure from front…[Read more]

Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Faux Fly Basting Stitches. Removed or not? in the forum oliver + s: field trip 9 years ago

Replying to my own question… I’ve made these pants quite a few times now and I remove the basting stitches. The slight “openness” makes it look more like a functional fly.
I’m in the “remove them” camp.
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Finishing knits in the forum oliver + s: school bus t-shirt 9 years ago

@eboyd83 Emily a serger and an overlocker are the same thing, just US vs Aus/English terminology.
A coverstitch is the separate function which looks like straight stitching on top and serging/overlocking underneath. A coverstitch can be a stand alone machine or a combo serger/coverstitch.
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Finishing knits in the forum oliver + s: school bus t-shirt 9 years ago

Not to blow my own horn, but have you looked in the tutorials section of the Oliver + S blog? With just a bit of tinkering and practice, you can get a great, professional looking, and nearly unbustable hem using a twin needle.
A simple zig zag stitch will work well too, and if your thread colour matches well is not that bad to look at.
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I finished 3 Deer and Doe tees and one drafted from a favourite body shirt (very fitted for wearing under shirts).

I am not sure what Modal actually is, @needlewoman (off to Google) but it is very stretchy with great recovery but tricky to handle.

I may have likened it to sewing snot 😉
