Baby clothes / Vêtements de bébé

Every time it's the same, when I'm pregnant I develop a sort of knitting fever! So after the socks I made for my daughter, the sweaters for my sister, and other things I will blog about shortly, I realized I was in the 6th month of my pregnancy which...

Socks! / Des chaussettes !

Just before Christmas, my good friend Elke gave my daughter a pair of bright red socks handknitted by her grandmother. Raphaelle LOVED them. So much so that she didn't want to take them off, literally! So I decided it was high time I learned how to knit...

Jelly roll skirt / La jupe en bandes de tissu

Last summer I was on holidays with my sister and in a beach shop she fell in love with a skirt that was made entirely of strips of fabric. She didn't buy it though. First, it was quite expensive. Second, although it existed in two different lengths, none...

Happy New Sewing Year! / Bonne année de couture !

I'm definitely not going to list all the resolutions I should make, it's not my style. I prefer going through life not knowing what I'm going to do exactly, which doesn't prevent me from doing A LOT of stuff! My one and only goal for 2015 is to have a...

Christmas market / Marché de Noël

So next Saturday there is a Christmas market in Lavelanet, a small town nearby where my husband works as an English teacher (yep, I'll tell you EVERYTHING!). One of his colleague (who also happens to be a friend) will keep a stand there to help raise...

Sunny sweater / Un pull coloré

Here's the new sweater I've knitted for my daughter. It's the same wool as the peruvian hat's in my previous post. I chose a very simple pattern in one of my extremely numerous pattern books and added a pocket just for the fun of it. It was an easy quick...

Autumn is here at last! / L'automne arrive !

Until now we have enjoyed a summary weather but it's about to change. You'd think I'd be displeased with the upcomming cold and rain. On the contrary! I can't wait because I love Autumn and snuggling in warm knits and big fluffy scarves. And of course,...

Wrap along / Robe portefeuille

This is the first dress I sew for me. It's not perfect, but it's wearable, and I'm satisfied. I still have a lot of progress to make with sewing knits (I don't own a serger and it's only the 3rd knit item I sew) and with choosing the right size for me...

Toulouse craft fair / salon Tendances créatives de Toulouse

Today was just like one day in heaven… or what heaven looks like to me anyway: I learned a new craft (felting), I shopped in the biggest craft shop I've ever seen (actually dozens of different little shop specializing in different things, please check...

Knit tunic / Tunique en jersey

Right after the huge success of the knit leggings, I decided to try my hands on a tunic to go with them. It turned out great but I really can't let my daughter wear the two together: it looks too muche like she's got her jim jams on! Today she's wearing...
