The Oliver + S Patterns have arrived ~ featuring the new fall line. I have been anxious to offer them as another sewing pastime for you.

After sewing several items from the Oliver + S pattern design, I am quite impressed.  Not only for a beginner seamstress, but for the advanced sew-ist as well - Liesl Gibson (the designer) is a natural teacher at heart, thus providing perfect instruction in text as well as through her clean-line illustrations.  Oliver + S patterns ~ The Deltor for today!

Sizes range from 6 months to 8 years.  Each pattern comes complete with a superior quality tissue paper pattern (really, truly, I’ve not seen another pattern tissue quite like this!), instructional sheet, adorable pattern envelope and the collectable paper doll to cut out which coordinates with the pattern purchased.  You will want each pattern for the paper doll alone!

Who said Featherweight Sewing Machines were for quilting only? “Not I!” said April, of April 1930’s!

I do all my sewing on my little ol’ Featherweight! That’s right, I really, truly do.  All of the garments I have made from the Oliver + S patterns have been made exclusively on my Featherweight 222 save for the inside seams which were serged.  My little Featherweight didn’t even so much as hiccup when I made a little tweed jacket... not even through all the folded seams twice over!

So, without further ado... I encourage you to begin your delightful collection of each Oliver + S pattern. Whether you have small children of your own, grandchildren, nieces or nephews ~ these patterns will be sure to warm your heart... and perhaps bring back something from days gone by with Paper Doll play.
