The story of a dress 1/2/L'histoire d'une robe 1/2

My friend Marie (her again!) fell in love with a Claire McCardell vintage dress she had seen on the Internet. But the dress wasn't available anymore and she asked me if I would make it for her. And so the story begins… Claire McCardell was an American...

Manège culottes/Jupe-culotte Manège

Quite a while ago, my friend Mary had fallen in love with and bought a fabric for me to sew her a pair of shorts she would wear on the beach. It took me a while to get around to sewing it because I just couldn't find the right pattern. I wanted something...

Annabelle's foldover clutch / Le sac d'Annabelle

A couple of weeks ago, I flew to England to visit a very good friend of mine from Uni (from looong ago!). I know she loves bags and everything shiny, so I tried to incorporate both in a handmade present. I used a free tutorial by Frénésie et moi , a bird...

Knitting on the go bag/Sac tricot nomade

Because they are so fashionable (in the knitting world, Rihanna doesn't have one as far as I know) I wanted to make for my NSP (non secret pal) a project bag you can use to knit while standing. I couldn't find a pattern so I invented one. It can be improved,...

Needles pouch/Trousse à aiguilles

In February it was my NSP's (Non Secret Pal) birthday, so I wanted to make her parcel extra special. Since she is a knitter, I reckoned she, like the rest of us, could use a nice place to put her baby needles to rest. And let's be honest, interchangeable...

My 1st handbag / Mon 1er sac

Hello my lovelies! First of all, Happy New Year! I hope it's a great one for you and the ones you love! It's been a long time! The thing is, I've finished a lot of projects but couldn't show them because they were presents and I didn't want to ruin the...

Sewing kit/Nécessaire à couture

I always watch Anne's knitting/sewing podcasts, and in one of them, she had the idea of creating a thread in her Ravelry group to help people find NSPs (Non Secret Pals). The concept is quite simple (and not new, I know!!): you find someome with roughly...

Giant baby towel / Sortie de bain géante

No, it's not the baby but the towel that's giant! Even though he's no giant, my little boy is now 8 months and a half and has outgrown all his towels, so I had to do something. Fortunately, I had foreseen this problem when the said baby boy wasn't even...

Book pillows / Coussins livres

Here are the other gifts I've made for my family. Those were actually birthday presents, as my sister and her husband's birthdays are in November and December. A while ago, I asked them to tell me the title of their favorite book of all times. My sister...

Audrey's hat / Le chapeau d'Audrey

My sister loooves hats. And I love buying her hats ! There's this little hat maker in a town nearby who makes very original ones and I buy one there every year. But this time I wanted to try something new, so I bought a couple of books about hat making,...
