@Reeni, I am sorry, my jolly computer won’t show your photos.
Nicole replied to the topic Look at These! in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

How radiant does Britters look?

Modelling her Gallery tunic.
Nicole replied to the topic Shorten/lengthen line on Gallery tunic in the forum liesl + co: gallery tunic + dress 9 years ago

On other patterns, I sort of eye ball it and see where it works best (i.e. won’t alter the shape too much).

I would love to know if there is a rule of thumb. The last few vintage patterns I have sewn tell you to ‘lengthen above this line’.
Nicole replied to the topic Looking for a pattern–women's loose pants like these… in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I don’t have a pattern number for you but I have had success making casual pull on trousers from pj’s bottoms patterns.
You will need to add pockets and there looks to be a boot leg type thing going on, so maybe a teen style range?
Nicole replied to the topic Hey, what's wrong here? in the forum about the forums 9 years ago

Is anyone else having trouble commenting on the blog? It may be our horrendous internet connection.
Nicole replied to the topic Making a sleeveless gallery tunic in the forum liesl + co: gallery tunic + dress 9 years ago

Sorry to but in…. I was watching a movie last night ( The General’s Daughter) and the main actress (Madeline Stow)? was wearing a lovely sleeveless blouse which had an armhole facing, stitched down.
I thought of your question.
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Ellen, if it bugs you, fix it. I have embraced my quick unpick (it helps that is is a natty little number I purchased in the O+S store).
I just accept it as part of good sewing now.
Much less angst. 🙂

I love that sweet chubbiness they still have when they start kind. All gone by big school.
She is so lovely Janice.
Nicole replied to the topic FBA bust darts on Gallery Tunic in the forum liesl + co: gallery tunic + dress 9 years ago

Thanks for heads up Sarvi, that is not a good look.
How does it fit if you shorten the dart? Less taper?
Nicole replied to the topic New here? Introduce yourself! in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Hallo Tiina, I am so glad you joined. I have girls too (well, one boy) and I have started pulling out O+S clothes I made for older siblings, for the younger ones. I love that!

What patterns do you sew for your husband?
Nicole replied to the topic Babies growing up in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I found this today when I was tidying (not O+S though)

Thank you Sarvi, the feeling is entirely mutual.
