Let me introduce you to Diana. Today she is stopping by to share a bit about her favorite Oliver + S pattern and show us the many fantastic versions she has made. Thanks so much for being here Diana!<\/em><\/p>\n

Hello! I am Diana from Bi\u00f3ka<\/a> and I am so happy to be able to share with you my favourite Oliver + S pattern(s)! I love sewing for my little girl and she (still) loves wearing the clothes I make.<\/p>\n

One of the patterns I enjoy using over and over is the Playtime dress<\/a> (and of course the leggings). I love patterns that can be used for both knit and woven fabric, and this is one of those, not to mention it can be made in tunic length as well ( I’m all about tunics)! I especially like the faux collar done with topstitching, I think it\u2019s very charming.<\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

I made the first dress<\/a> a year ago when she was 2 and a half years old and I forgot to check the size chart before cutting (don’t ask me how) so it turned out to be a little big on her, but still so lovely.<\/p>\n

And looking back I am so pleased it turned out that way, because I love every little detail on this dress and I am so happy it still fits her so she can wear it a little longer.<\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

After the first came the second (which is actually a tunic) \u2013I used a lovely flannel fabric for the top and jersey for the skirt.<\/p>\n

And the third.<\/p>\n

I already have in mind a sleeveless version and a few tunics for the summer.<\/p>\n

Let’s talk a little about the instructions that come with the pattern. Liesl is taking the time to explain every step in detail, so even a beginner (like me) can fell the satisfaction of having sewn something more challenging. I have learned so many techniques by using her patterns, she never disappoints!<\/p>\n

Since I am writing about my favourite pattern I cannot leave out the Playtime leggings because I made them more times that I can remember, they are my to go leggings, always a perfect fit. Considering this pile you might think I have an obsession and you might be right.<\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

I just have to show you some photos of other two favourites, the Class Picnic blouse<\/a> and the Sailboat top<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to the summer, I am planning to give the Swingset tunic<\/a> a try, it’s been on my list for some time now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
