    Made this pattern as a top in a lawn. Lovely construction. Easy to wear yet dressy.

      Croquet cutie
    Reviewed by Cindy Cooksey on 05/02/2015
    I sewed the croquet dress for my granddaughter Samantha, and she has worn it quite a bit. It is the third Oliver and S pattern I used, and I really appreciate the sophisticated styling plus the very clear directions.

  • Errata

    1. In the first printing of the paper version of this pattern, the instructions contained a minor error. On page 3, in step 4 under the section "Prepare the Front (View B)," the second sentence should read, "Pin and stitch the opposite (unfolded) long edge...." This error has been corrected in the digital version of the pattern that is currently available.

     

     

    Determining Which Printing You Have

    As errata are discovered, they are marked for correction in subsequent printings of the pattern. To determine which printing of an instruction sheet or pattern sheet you have, look at the copyright box which appears on each. Toward the bottom of the box, there is a series of numbers.

    The lowest number you see there indicates which printing you have. For example, if the lowest number in the box on the instruction sheet is "2," you have an instruction sheet from the second printing. Any errors in the instructions mentioned for the first printing have been corrected in your version. If the lowest number in the box on the pattern sheet is "1," you have a copy of the pattern sheet from the first printing.

    Pattern sheets and instructions sheets can be printed separately, so be sure to check the errata notices for pattern pieces against the printing number on the pattern sheet and errata notices for instructions against the printing number on the instruction sheet.
