Loving this new Line

Many of you might know Lisette as the mastermind behind Oliver & S . Amazing patterns with amazing, well written instructions that help you become a better seamstress. I've loved both of the patterns I've attempted and think they are well worth the extra cost. The patterns themselves are more durable than your basic Mcalls or simplicity patterns. The instructions are well thought out and written in a way that you can't mess up. And like I said, they seem to be written to teach you along the way.

That being said, I have anticipated the release of some adult sized patterns. So far there are just 4 out and this one I think is my favorite. I think I'm going to have to attempt it. Over at Purl Bee they've stitched up in some Liberty of London lawn fabric. That would be heavenly to make a dress out of. I think my favorite is the navy helena's party. The only drawback; the $35 per yard cost. I'm trying to rationalize it with the fact that a new dress would cost about that much at a nice store, but it probably won't happen.

  1. Love it! I may have to buy these patterns so I can actually sew something for me. That lawn is gorgeous but I can't bring myself to pay that price either!
