Welcome to 2019! We're thrilled to have you along as we kick off another fantastic year of sewing inspiration. 2018 has come and gone, and like many of you, we've spent some time reflecting on the standout moments from the past year here on the Oliver + S blog. As we look back, we’re reminded of all the wonderful content we’ve shared with you throughout the months.
Thank you for being such an integral part of our community in 2018. It's been a pleasure to see so many of you engaging with our posts and sharing your own creations. One of the biggest highlights last year was our 10th anniversary celebration in March. Over the span of two weeks, we reminisced about the journey so far in our post titled “We’re Celebrating 10 Years of Oliver + S!†If you missed it, we highly recommend giving it a read—it’s packed with nostalgia and fun.
During 2018, we introduced five new Liesl + Co. patterns, including the popular Hollywood Trousers (find the sew-along here) and the charming Terrace Dress (check out this adorable version). On the Oliver + S side, we launched two exciting patterns: the Girl on the Go Dress + Top (available in sizes 8-18) with its accompanying sew-along guide here.
Beyond patterns, we explored a variety of topics, from essential sewing tools to discovering fabric treasures at art supply stores. We also dived deeper into Liesl + Co. patterns with posts like “Starting Out with Liesl + Co. Patterns†and “The Women’s Metro T-shirt Tried 'n True.â€
Take a moment to revisit some of our most-read posts from 2018. These top 18 selections represent the cream of the crop and are worth bookmarking—or better yet, pinning to your sewing Pinterest board!
