I haven’t been able to sew in months. This week I made a butterfly skirt and a modified garden party. I feel the gray skies lifting. Sewing is so good for my soul. 🙂

Robin replied to the topic Drawstring pants? in the forum oliver + s: after-school 10 years ago

The new parachute pants have elastic and a drawstring. I think your plan is a good one.

Garden Party… sewed the sleeve in perfectly. A perfectly set in sleeve. Lovely gathers. All in perfect alignment. Best sleeve I ever have sewn… both correctly AND INSIDE OUT!

ARGH!

Nicole replied to the topic Can I use woven bias fabric to bind edge of knit? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Do you mean an envelope style neck? Where the back comes over the front at the shoulders and opens up to allow dressing?

You can use a woven binding but remember, that it will not be that stretchy so you will need to make sure it will fit over babies head, just with the envelope style opening.

I hope that is some help.

Mama_Knowles replied to the topic anyone want to hold a sample sale? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I would love to help out if you need any help still.

I agree with Robin. The on the right would work for piping, also, or anything where you need to sew very close to something that’s not flat.

cybele727 started the topic Buying a pattern for one view – making the other. in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Hello ladies,

I am probably not alone in this. I often buy patterns because I really like and plan on doing one particular view that appeals to me. Yet I am often surprised at how it turns out.

I bought the afterschool for the top, which I’ve never made. Swore I wouldn’t make those pants, and I’ve made 4 or 5 pairs, but no top. My favorite…[Read more]

Liesl Gibson started the topic anyone want to hold a sample sale? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Hello everyone! I have a crazy question and I’m just going to put it out there in case anyone want to take me up on it:

We have a large number of samples left over from pattern development and photo shoots, and I need to clear out some space in the studio. Over the years we’ve talked about holding a sample sale, but our workload is always so big…[Read more]

Robin replied to the topic Things you find when you're moving house… in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Here’s my guesses. The one on the left is for rolled hems and the one on the right is a zipper foot.

Oh that did work well! Very cute.

Sarvi replied to the topic Things you find when you're moving house… in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Hi Harmony — can you try posting a link to a pic of the feet? I tried to see if there was a broken link in your post that I could fix for you, but all I’m seeing right now is the plain text of your post.

Let me try that again….sorry!!

Frances Suzanne replied to the topic Royal babies! in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Look what I found while going through some Australian Smocking and Embroidery Magazines tonight…I see such similarities to Prince George’s “royal attire”!!

Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Has anyone made the Red Riding Hood Cape in vertical striped fabric? in the forum oliver + s: little things to sew 10 years ago

I haven’t seen it in a stripe at all that I can recall. Since the pieces are narrow at the top and wider at the bottom you will end up cutting your stripes on an angle. If you are then able to match them together you will effectively get chevrons at each seam.
I’d play with some miniaturised pattern pieces and striped paper first to see if you…[Read more]

Lightning McStitch replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Tonight I made a Sunday Brunch skirt. Old school Oliver + S!!
I knocked up a quick one in some drill I was gifted in a stomach churning shade of pink. I’m sure she’ll love it and mostly I just wanted to check the fit and construction before I start fiddling with it….
I’m thinking a mini City Stroll wrap skirt using the Sunday Brunch as the…[Read more]
