In the meantime, I have spring pattern covers to sew and contests to judge<\/a>, so I’ll keep this short!<\/p>\n Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n My favorite jeans are in need of some sashiko repairs, so I’ve got hand stitching on the mind this week. There are quite pretty.<\/p>\n Speaking of hand stitching, wouldn’t it be fun to add some to the bottom of a Bento Tee<\/a>? Although with my personal minimalist tendencies I’m still quite partial to the simplicity of those pockets without any additional embellishments.<\/p>\n Speaking of hand stitches, aren’t these delicate additions pretty? I keep envisioning bugle beads along that trouser seam.<\/p>\n Do you love culottes on little girls as much as I do? These two are darling and could be easily replicated using our Lunch Box pattern<\/a>. Maybe add a Butterfly Blouse<\/a> for a similar silhouette, below left? I especially like the two scales of gingham, below right!<\/p>\n And on the subject of jeans, I’d like to try altering our Hollywood Trousers<\/a> a bit for a more dressed-up jean similar to this one on Victoria Beckham. Also loving the winter white trousers, which has been on my sewing wish list for a long time now. I still haven’t found the fabric for it.<\/p>\n Weekend Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n What are you sewing this weekend? Be sure to come back next week because we’ll have a special tutorial for you. Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Liesl is here today with her first Weekend Links post for the month of February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":74269,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20687],"tags":[4],"class_list":["post-74263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","tag-links"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/feb-7-feature.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5jZS5-jjN","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":75127,"url":"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/blog\/2020\/05\/sewing-small-talk-why-dont-more-men-sew.html","url_meta":{"origin":74263,"position":0},"title":"sewing small talk: why don’t more men sew?","author":"Liesl Gibson","date":"May 1, 2020","format":false,"excerpt":"Your thoughts please.
