We absolutely adore seeing what you create using Oliver + S patterns. The "My Favorite Oliver + S Pattern" series highlights fans who share their creations and, as a delightful bonus, we also get to learn more about them. Today, we’re joined by Alex, who blogs under the name Giddy Ants and shares her sewing adventures on Instagram. Alex is here to talk about her beloved Oliver + S pattern and showcase the various versions she's crafted. Let’s hear what she has to say: Hello everyone! My name is Alex, and you can find my sewing escapades documented on my blog, Giddy Ants, or on Instagram. A few years ago, when my daughter was about six months old, I decided to give sewing a shot—and I immediately fell head over heels for it. Oliver + S was one of the first patterns I tried, and I was utterly captivated by the stunning creations I saw on Flickr and blogs. It feels surreal to be writing about my favorite Oliver + S pattern now, but here we go… Like many of you, choosing just one pattern as my favorite is no easy task. I frequently sew their designs, and every time my daughter Freya wears them, they bring a smile to my face. However, if there’s one pattern I keep coming back to, it’s the Lunch Box Culottes. There’s something about them that keeps drawing me in. I sewed my first pair soon after they were released, using this gorgeous red cotton I stumbled upon. They were slightly roomy on my little one, but I loved them right away. I quickly adjusted the elastic in the waistband and began working on my second pair almost immediately. Next up was a mustard-yellow Cotton and Steel fabric. This wasn’t a color I’d typically gravitate toward, but it worked beautifully with the pattern. I couldn’t help but feel proud when I overheard people complimenting the culottes as we strolled through stores. For the black-and-white challenge last year, I paired the culottes with the Butterfly Blouse. While I usually team them with t-shirts, it was refreshing to see them paired with a blouse instead. I haven’t attempted sewing the accompanying t-shirt yet since I’m not very confident with knits, but maybe one day I’ll give it a try. This summer, I made another two pairs. The first was from a spotty denim fabric. As always, the details on this pattern are exquisite. It’s both stylish and practical, which is perfect for my active little girl. She’s gotten tons of use out of them, whether at home, running errands, or at daycare.
For my latest pair, I used a larger polka-dot print leftover from a dress I made for myself. I think these might just be my favorites. I made a size three for my nearly four-year-old, and I’ve noticed the fit lasts quite a while, which is another great aspect of this pattern. Looking at all these versions, I’m itching to dive back into the pattern and make yet another pair. What I love most is how versatile they are—whether you use solid fabrics or bold prints, they always look fantastic. I hope this inspires you to give the Lunch Box Culottes a try if you haven’t already! Thank you, Alex! Ever wanted to reminisce about sewing memories?
