It's also super fast! Cut the skirt out last night, sewed it in maybe thirty minutes actual sewing time this morning; making the blouse tomorrow. The internet has many fun examples of color, trims, etc. (I planned on using pink fake-piping trim, but I forgot... Kid doesn't need to look that preppy anyhow...). And it has lots of sizes. I thought the Oliver + S hoopla was just one of those internet trends... but I totally understand it now. Good construction, intuitive, fast, and accessible (I hear) to beginning dressmakers while not offending the sensibilities of advanced ones (dude, I'm not paying $15 for a pillowcase dress pattern). I tend to wear my jeans out due to thigh rub (yeah... your weight loss posts have inspired me, Tawny, but not enough!), so I have assorted intact lower legs lying around, so she gets the skirt in denim next. I heartily recommend it. Thanks for stopping by!
I love Oliver + S patterns. I wish I actually had time to sew more clothes though! Haven't tried music class yet.
ReplyDeleteAwww that's super cute!
