@yeppoon4703 Fabric requirements for all our patterns are a pretty simple and straightforward 1:1 conversion.

OK, not really, but pretty close.

When we do our fabric requirements we do them to the nearest 1/4 yard because most stores won’t sell in quantities of less than that. We always use our pattern development software to calculate the…[Read more]

I’d totally wear them together! I think it all depends on the fabrics you choose. But yes, they would absolutely work as a pair. It’s been on my list to sew a matching top and skirt using these two patterns, so if you get to it before I do I hope you’ll post photos! I think they could be cute as separates, but also as a matching set.

I think if you got a good fit of your bust /waist it could look lovely. I am not tall or willowy so avoid too much ‘floatiness’. I did wear the skirt with the Weekend blouse but I had good bust/under bust definition.

This skirt sat really low on me, with looser tops I felt a bit ‘messy in the middle’.
I am not sure I am being much help…sorry.

I had hoped it was you! @dubhels2003

I wore my Everyday skirt through out my last pregnancy with a fitted black tee. I quite liked that silhouette.

Thanks for asking about this! I’m sorry to report that we won’t be releasing any new Oliver + S patterns this spring. All of my energies have been going into the upcoming book, which will be ready in early September. In the meantime, later this months we will be announcing some new Lisette patterns for summer. And come September you can also…[Read more]

Yes, Liesl is correct, no-go on my huge headed bebe`s 🙂

Completely adorable, I hope you are well and made it to the actual maternity ward this time!

Yes, I think it’s fine for older kids. You might need the buttons for smaller kids. It’s a proportion thing; little kids have much larger heads compared to their overall body size. It can be quite a challenge when I’m developing patterns!

Anyone in the UK? @dubhels2003 http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=countrybumpkinjo&hash=item33b45fabb8%3Ag%3AEqQAAOSwGYVW-7a8&item=222069500856&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xoliver%2Bs.TRS0&_nkw=oliver%2Bs&_sacat=0

PS Interface the collar and facings as normal as well as the extra at the button holes.

Ha ha ha @Enbee, it gave me a good laugh.

I follow the rule you can make most woven patterns with knits (if you take great care) but not the other way.

I would indeed interface the button holes and where you sew the buttons (an extra square where they would go) and handle the fabric gently when sewing. Stay stitching the neck will be very…[Read more]

@thejennigirl How lovely you are.
As a girl I was very tiny but full busted and it was hard to find nice clothes.
You are correct, my Twins are quite a different size. They have full derrieres but are very small chested. They ‘out grew’ O+S pattern before they ‘grew out’ of the size range, IYKWIM?

May I suggest the Liesl+Co Bento tee? I made the…[Read more]

@enbee I have found they change instantly. If one of my photos get tagged with one of those explore ‘awards’ I make the photo ‘private’ (which gets rid of the 50 random favourites and odd comments) and then change it back to public.

@enbee I can only add my story. If I upload photos, privately, they seem to stay that way, even after I change the settings, for a period of time.

If I want a photo to be public, I upload it publicly.

Flickr can be a bit temperamental.

I am sorry not to be more help.
