Clearly, I’m not ahead in publishing my little monthly reviews... given the significant delay, I have 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 remember a model of my favorite dresses: the cardamom dress by Deer and Doe.

During April, I sewed a third version of this one in a green fabric with Japanese patterns.

I wear these original dresses a lot to go to work in the summer.

                 

                 

I took on the challenge of sewing my own t-shirts. In March, I started with the Wanted t-shirt by Vanessa Pouzet. In April, I continued by sewing Briac t-shirts from Marie Poisson's book: sewing stretch fabrics. 

I sewed several versions with round and "V" necklines and I love them.

                 

                 

                 

I also continued to use the book by Marie Poisson: sewing stretch fabrics, a real goldmine 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 pep to my burgundy floral fabric.

                 

                 

Finally, the biggest 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 contrasting with the colorful lining chosen by my boyfriend.

                 

                 

My husband waited a long time for it but he is super happy with it. Especially since he receives compliments on it and is then very proud to say that it was his wife who made it. 

It’s such a pleasure to make others happy! It’s a great joy for me to see the sparkling eyes of the people to whom I offer 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 know more.

I also made some reversible baskets and their makeup remover wipes for my shop. 

I had made some for myself and friends, and trying them really means adopting them; in the zero waste era, they have a special place in my bathroom.
