Oiver + S Little Things to Sew is a collection of 20 accessories and other small sewing projects to make for children from Oliver + S, a successful new sewing pattern company headed by popular designer Liesl Gibson. The company Oliver + S is known for blending its fresh, modern style with a classic sensibility, as well as for its detailed, easy to follow pattern instructions. Projects in Oliver + S: Little Things to Sew include whimsical yet practical items for children, such as a hat, scarf, vest, tutu, art smock, backpack, messenger bag and quilt. Two pullout pattern sheets provide sewers with all of the instruction they need to be successful. In addition, the Oliver + S LIttle Things To Sew package includes two cardstock paper dolls and illustrations of projects from the book for the paper dolls to wear. (The illustrations are printed on the book's dust jacket and can be cut out.) Oliver + S is known for including paper dolls images with all of their individual patterns, so including the paper dolls in the book is a natural celebration of their brand and also sets this book apart from all others (see oliverands.com).

I bought this book as I love the Oliver and S patterns and since I am expecting my first baby I hope to sew a lot of clothes and toys for her. I have just started to make the Play Town which I am really excited about. The patterns in the book are diverse - some clothes, some toys, some accessories and there designs for both boys and girls. I haven't made anything from it yet but if it is as good as their pattern line I am sure the patterns will be brill. The only problem is when I went to take the pattern from the back of the book it ripped! This is quite disappointing as the book seems really high quality.So overall a nice looking book just a shame that the glue at the back is too sticky!

It's a lovely little book however, the patterns that come with it are quite confusing and I'm a textiles student! The patterns tend to overlap so you can't cut one garment out as all of the patterns overlap each other. Other than that, it shows some lovely ideas, and the instructions are very easy to follow.

Really good but not excellent for me
The book is well presented. It has full size patterns attached (with the blobby clear rubber glue - ease the patterns off, don't yank!!). Read more
