That’s a lot of pluses! Hi blog readers, I’m the Adrianna of “Adrianna & Susan”. I am the proud mommy to Z, age 3, and P, age 1. Both are lovely & tolerant girls that get to model all my sewn clothing successes and failures until they are old enough to put a stop to it. Then I’ll start bribing them.
I have a couple tutorials to share, so stay tuned for those. In the meantime, here is a little Oliver + S set I just finished for Z’s autumn wardrobe.
The top is quilting weight cotton from the “Muted Transitions” line by Lisa Schiller and the skirt is a linen/rayon blend that is absolutely divine. It has the best drape and weight, and I highly recommend it for your future sewing endeavors. I’ve sewed with 100% linen before and it is nowhere near as nice for clothing. Linen/rayon somehow has the ability to hold crisp, clean lines, but still maintain a soft drape. Perfection. (side note: it also irons well, despite the appearance in this photo.)
I also highly recommend Oliver + S for their simple, clear directions, detailed illustrations, and professional finished results. Liesl is a genius. You can see the other Oliver + S pattern I’ve made here.
