@lisachawk so sorry to hear about your difficulties with the pattern.

That definitely sounds like something is off. Are you working with a digital copy of this pattern? If so, be sure to check the scale measurements on the copy you printed to make sure that it has been printed true to scale. You also might want to check the finished measurements…[Read more]

I’m sorry to say, but that’s one of the styles that we released as a digital pattern only, and we don’t have plans to have it printed. So, for now, it will only be available as a download.

Woo hoo!
Hello lovely Peeps, we have joined the rest of the world and now have decent internet so I can finally access the forum again.
I have felt terrible wanting to help people but unable to reply.

I am not sewing, we are off on Hol’s, so I have tidied my sewing room in anticipation for my return (I will be hitting the Melbourne fabric…[Read more]

My seam ripper fell to the floor
I just heard a knock at the door
I never get peace
For sew/stress release

Maria,

You can find the errata page here:

I’m not sure if this will be the right width, but Amazon has it. If this is too wide, you could check there for other widths.

Liesl has corrected the problem with the pattern, and we’ve placed an errata notice on the website. It can be found here. Fortunately, it’s a simple issue to fix.

The digital version of the pattern has been updated with this fix.

So sorry about that! Someone else pointed out that error to us yesterday. We’ve updated the printing guide page for the pattern to include page 37 for all views and cup sizes.

If you would like an updated version of the PDF with this change in place, you can use your original download link to download a new copy now.

My seam ripper fell to the floor
I just heard a knock at the door
I never get peace

I’ve run out of room for my stash
So off to Ikea I dash
The place is a maze
I’ve been here for days
Eating so many meatballs I’ve run out of cash

My seam ripper fell to the floor

There are sequins all over the rug
Each one looks like a shiny blue bug
I could pick up each one
And it would be done
Once I stick them all to my mug

And to start a new limerick:

@wildswan We’ve ultimately decided to take the approach of expanding the size range of new Liesl + Co. patterns rather than going back and re-doing already existent ones. So the Cappuccino pattern most probably won’t be expanded up into larger sizes. But the newer Liesl + Co patterns, and future releases, go up to size 20.

No, no additional seam allowance, just marking so you can make your fox.

I have made it more times without a sleeve than with, ha! It’s a favorite for summer around here. Anyway, I just leave the sleeve off and line the bodice. Like Liesl said, the kimono sleeve makes it look short sleeved. In this post I talk about how to line the bodice: https://oliverands.com/community/blog/2015/06/fox-playtime-dress.html

The pattern should be correct. There’s a good deal of negative ease here to account for a knit fabric with at least 25% stretch. They should fit to that body measurement fine. Did you use a knit with at least 25% stretch? That could be part of the issue.

I have heard of that happening when people are starting to run low on ink. Could that be it? If not, perhaps there are some other settings in your printer driver you could choose. See if printing in color or with just black and white makes a difference. The grid lines are definitely there and should print for you!

Sorry for the delay in responding. I’ve just tested this out, and it worked find for me. If you put a shipping address on the left side of the page in the US and a billing address on the right side in another country, the shipping options presented on the following screen are the US shipping options. Perhaps you had the country drop down selection…[Read more]
