Thank you @shokomoo, you are sweet. We are campaigning Liesl to make a dungarees pattern.
My sewing gal-pal @ock-du-spock tracked down the same pattern in a larger size.

It is lovely fabric.

Not to go against @with-love-heidi, she sews for a plethora of lucky children, I would only add to the back if she is really overweight.
Chubby little girls tend to have big tummies, which this dress would disguise well, if you add to the back it may get ‘tenty’ and lose the original look.

@withloveheidi-

Mash up- must be substantially one or more oliver and s patterns?

So other patterns would be ok.

I mean I have a dress from McCalls with jumprope pockets. That’s not much of and O + s pattern mash up. 🙂

But I am open to group rule!

For who knows what reason I am unable to view flickr (arrgh!) but yes, it should be vvvvvvvvvvv rather than >>>>>>>>>

Nothing to add to Nicole’s excellent advice, but good luck, I’m sure both the kid and the parents will be delighted to have a special, pretty dress!

I wonder if small hands are an advantage? My BIL used to get me to pull lambs as my hands were smaller.

Have fun shopping, seriously jealous.

@sarvi it is awesome. Jed calibrated it yesterday and we are having a cool snap so it is perfect baking weather.

I need a new kettle now, my old one looks very grungy on the hob.

Great ideas @ann-maree.

How frustrating @rhythmtyagi, it may soften yet or you could try giving it a scrub with a nailbrush and some yellow soap. That may help remove the dressing.

I made these for my baby girl https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/17417326175/in/album-72157649752898567/ ( not O+S, blush) and I pointed the Chevrons downwards even though they were across the grain on the fabric.

I made my older daughter a coat from the same cloth ( I purchased a bolt) and I did the same. Both garments are wearing well with…[Read more]

@AmyF how very kind of you.

If she is only 8 I am wondering of she is only really after width? I have sewn for a obese child and her I found that was he case for her. I think what I would do is too split the front dress panel in half and add a few inches to the that.

I would add the same to the front bands and add quite a bit to the waist one…[Read more]

I finally squeezed in a B&W project! Going to Flickr to upload it now. But you can also see it in my blog post here: http://skirtfixation.com/2015/10/star-wars-t-shirt-diy-kids-clothes-week-day-3/

😃 @jwo until you’ve tried to intubate a rabbit, you know nothing of difficult airways!
I’d find all of that fascinating!

@jwo I’m very strong and good at carrying bags! 💪😃

Mash-up challenge:

“Reveal date”: 2/5/16?
Flickr tag: “oliverandsmashup” ?

Any other rules/parameters?

Although we want something new, should we go back and tag old stuff, like my jumprope with library sleeves, because so many of us have mashed up without thinking of it that way?

Once we set them up, I will start a new thread!

I’ve hosted a few NYC shopping trips in my time. Would love to do it again someday if there’s enough interest!
