Raphaelle's bolero / Le boléro de Raphaëlle

Recently I've been willing to make a dent in my yarn stash which has got out of control! For once, it's not my fault: I've been given my grandma's stash when she died and my mom's ex-neighbour gave her her own mother's stash because her mother was moving...

Summer-Spring collection / Collection printemps-été

I realised a couple of weeks back that my daughter had nothing to wear for a warmer weather. Her old Spring-Summer gear is either too small or can't be cleaned to a satisfactory level, so okay to play in the garden, but a big no no for school. Usually...

Raph's summer wardrobe/La garde-robe d'été de Raph

Summer is coming. Not right now, but it is! And of course, my girl has grown a bunch and outgrown nearly all of her summer clothes. So I took advantage of a little week without work and made her a few things with fabrics from my stash. (Take that, ever...

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...

The crib is ready! / Le berceau est prêt !

I just wanted to show you the wonderfully beautiful crib that has been used in my family for all the babies born in the last 30 years. As I'm 31, I didn't get to sleep in it, but I'm sure it's very comfy too! You see all that immaculate white embroidered...

Un coussin réhausseur

Poupette a bien grandi… surtout dernièrement, mais vu tout ce qu'elle mange, ça n'a rien d'étonnant ! Enfin voilà, la chaise haute, ça fait un peu bébé pour une grande Poupette de presque 3 ans ! Et puis la chaise haute, c'est sympa, mais ça prend toute...

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...

un amineko qui ressemble à un loup (Mitaipo)

et oui, c'était le premier... pas tout à fait raté, mais pas vraiment ressemblant... Donc si vous voulez faire un chat qui ressemble à un loup, il vous suffit de ne pas finir le nez tout à fait et de le mettre à l'envers (qui part en avant au lieu de...

First time with knits / J'ai cousu du jersey !

One of the challenges that were awaiting me this September was to learn how to sew knits. They're so comfy and trendy that I could not just ignore them anymore! In the last months I have bought really nice knits to sew things for me and my daughter, but...

Raph's playhouse / La petite maison de Raph

For our daughter's 3rd birthday, my husband and I decided we wanted to get her a playhouse. But my husband hates plastic playhouses and the wooden ones that come in kits are very expensive, and more often than not, they're made with low quality wood and...

Mini artist bag/Mini sac d'artiste

Ever since I've made the Artist bag for my niece, my daughter has been pining for one of her own. But my girl is still quite little, so I didn't want to make her the big version because it wouldn't be practical to use in the car. And we spend a LOT of...

Fleece robe / Robe de chambre en polaire

Raphaëlle loooves when I make her new things. I wanted a quick and easy project, and as the evenings are getting colder and colder, I thought it was time to make her a new robe. At first she didn't get why I was making her a new one : "I already have...

4 new pages! / 4 pages de plus !

I couldn't find time to take pictures before, but I managed to sew a few more pages for Raphaelle's quiet book. The first one is the "tie your laces" page for which I found the pattern on a blog called Pops and Podge . Then there is the "laundry page"....
