@dubhels2003 I thought of you yesterday as I saw a local art space that was being transformed to look like the scene from Alice in Wonderland where Alice meets the knitting sheep and they go boating together (one of my favourite bits for the rowing puns).
The artist is painting a beautiful life size mural on the walls of the art space. It would…[Read more]

I went with my normal L&C size, too. I found it just right. I am a D and skipped the FBA, first by accident, but it worked out well so I didn’t bother with it the other times, either. I suggest a muslin, also.

Is art gallery an interlock, pique, or jersey type?

Hi Jeanette, I’ve only muslined this one,but I went with my regular size an added an FBA. There is a looser silhouette, but I don’t think it will hang right without the FBA. What have other folks experienced? It’s not the answer you’re looking for, but my advice is to make a muslin.

All the Art Gallery Knits have matching woven as well. I really hope Liesl has another Moda knit line though.

Best.news. ever.

@justsewit What line did you find matching knit and woven?

We always get so itchy, don’t we? I’ve been sitting on my hands waiting for someone else to ask! 🙂

Exciting! Which will release first, O+S or L+C?

I am excited!! I still need to sew up my Carousel dress so I guess I had better hurry!

There is some stretch to the pleather. I tried it, and ended up ripping it off and using regular fabric. It’ll be on the blog Thursday, and I’m so excited to reveal!

I’m in! But I’m going to try to sew something for my boys…

@justsewit, why not either/or/both? As you can see, I am a real curmudgeon for rules about sew alongs. 🙂

And if we do an either or, I may have to get that sparkly Miller fabric. What a pretty every day skirt it would be…. hmmmm….

Oh I was eyeing a Michael Miller black fabric with silver dots. So absolutely. It is totally sparkly grey!

Personally, I love grey so much I consider it a “colour above all others”. But it’s not really, is it. Certainly fits on the monochrome spectrum. After all a black and white image is really variations of grey! I stuck with black and white only for my blog post, but only because i could lose myself in the greys badly!
Here’s my Pinterest board…[Read more]

And yes, definitely tag it. It would be a great round up, I hope.

I figure some grey scale will be ok too. Because most prints on black often have grey scale, but that fits with the monochromatic theme.

I actually ordered my fabric already. (Raise your hand if you’ve got multiple projects lined up….) I have a jumprope to finish, a garden party and 3 hopscotch dresses on deck. I will likely have enough…[Read more]

Thanks @cybele727 I was thinking it needed it’s own thread.
I’ll have a blog post up soonish for son inspiration and with my (first) monochrome creation.
If you use Flickr tags or instagram then tag with #oliverandsmonochrome then we might have a round up of projects at the end.
I found some great pics on pinterest and started a board.

Oh I think just B & W. :). Maybe grey since monochrome is the spectrum really. Otherwise anything goes.

What if we plan for end of September? Enough time to plan and execute?
