Clearly, I’m not ahead in publishing my little monthly reviews... given the significant delay, I’ve decided to publish the review of my sewing projects from the last two months in a single article.
I didn’t sew many clothes during the lockdown period to focus on making masks.
For the clothes sewn in the last two months, we will highlight one of my favorite dress patterns: the Cardamome dress by Deer and Doe.
During April, I sewed a third version of this one in a green fabric with Japanese patterns.
I love being able to add bias tape and lurex piping for the playful touch they bring.I wear these original dresses a lot to work in the summer.
I took on the challenge of sewing my own t-shirts. In March, I started with Vanessa Pouzet's Wanted t-shirt. In April, I continued by sewing Briac t-shirts from Marie Poisson's book: sewing stretch fabrics.
I made several versions with round and "V" necklines and I love them.
I also continued to use Marie Poisson's book: sewing stretch fabrics, a real treasure trove of practical information... I took care to sew the Yvonne tank top for this summer.
I chose to use pre-folded jersey bias tape to make the straps and give a little pop to my burgundy floral fabric.
Finally, the largest piece and also the longest to make was the gentleman coat from the brand les Beaux Gosses. I really enjoyed perfecting the details, adding a pretty piping that contrasts with the colorful lining chosen by my boyfriend.
My husband waited a long time for it, but he’s really happy with it. Especially since he receives compliments on it and is very proud to say that his wife made it.
It’s such a pleasure to make others happy! It’s a great joy for me to see the sparkling eyes of people to whom I give or sell a piece made just for them in a co-creation project.
In short, I talk about it a bit more on my Facebook page c'est du joly, feel free to visit if you want to learn more.
I also made some reversible baskets and their makeup remover pads for my shop.
I had made some for myself and friends, and trying them out really means adopting them in the zero waste era; they have a special place in my bathroom.
