Every time Lisel grabs her pattern notcher<br />
she’s connected to family. The punch, used for<br />
matching pattern pieces, was a gift from her<br />
grandmother, a former needlework instructor who<br />
studied fashion design.<br />
“I use it all the time, ”says Liesl. “It’s a connection<br />
for both of us.”<br />
The oldest of five girls, Liesl remembers watching<br />
her mom lay out patterns as she sewed for her<br />
daughters. Although Liesl absorbed much watching<br />
her mom work, it wasn’t until she’d been out of<br />
college for ten years that she pursued fashion. Jobs<br />
at Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger taught her<br />
about fabric and styling details. But when daughter<br />
“S” was born (Liesl uses just her initial to protect<br />
her privacy), Liesl chose to stay home, leaving<br />
the fashion industry behind.<br />
As S grew, Lisel shared on her blog, Disdressed<br />
(http://disdressed.blogspot.com/), the dresses<br />
she stitched for her daughter. Readers’ responses,<br />
along with comments from passerby on the streets<br />
of her New York City home, encouraged her to<br />
create and sell patterns. “I thought it was something<br />
I could do while she napped,” Liesl laughs.<br />
Business has definitely outgrown naptime. In just<br />
three years, Oliver + S has 16 patterns under its<br />
neatly buckled belt and Liesl is designing fabric<br />
for <strong>Moda</strong>. Family ties have grown, too: Liesl’s husband,<br />
Todd, now oversees the company’s business<br />
side while she focuses on creative development.<br />
And “S” contributes, too. “I look a what she’s wearing,<br />
at how it moves on her before I finalize styles,”<br />
says Liesl. “She inspires a lot of what I do.”6<br />
