One of the main characters in the series is a young man named Akiva, a painter, struggling to find his way in ultra-orthodox Israel. His work was really quite lovely, and I got curious enough about it to start hunting online, only to stumble across this lovely profile of the real-life artist behind the <\/a>pieces. Very moving.<\/p>\n Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n If you’re thinking about sewing our Wyndham Robe + Sleep Shorts<\/a>, these versions might inspire you. The use of multiple prints is fun, isn’t it?<\/p>\n Thinking about sewing a\u00a0Cinema Dress<\/a> (or Hide-and-Seek Dress<\/a> for girls) this summer? Here is some inspiration for you.<\/p>\n This cute little gingham dress reminded me of our Jump Rope Dress<\/a> with an added ruffle at the hem. And speaking of the Hide-and-Seek Dress, isn’t the direction of the stripes a playful way to use a single fabric?<\/p>\n I love the idea of a patchwork, or multiple fabric, Classic Shirt<\/a>. Keep it unified by playing with scale in a limited color palette, or upcycle some old denim for a fun look.<\/p>\n Two more fun takes on the Classic Shirt: in silk with little contrast tabs on the chest pockets, or with sheer sleeves. I love the solid cuff on this style–really makes it pop.<\/p>\n Weekend Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n And that’s a wrap for this week! Enjoy your weekend, and we’ll be back next week with some inspiring sewing from the Advisors Circle (and maybe from me if I can cajole someone into taking some photos for me). Happy Memorial Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Liesl is here with her periodic collection of photos and interesting reading to keep you entertained this weekend. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":77229,"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-77221","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\/2021\/05\/may-28-weekend-links.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5jZS5-k5v","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":60114,"url":"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/blog\/2017\/04\/my-favorite-liesl-co-pattern-kelly-from-purple-workbench.html","url_meta":{"origin":77221,"position":0},"title":"my favorite liesl + co. pattern: kelly from purple workbench","author":"Rachel Le Grand","date":"April 5, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"We\u2019re kicking off a new series: My Favorite Liesl + Co.
