    Bilan Couture 2019

    En ce premier jour de 2020, c’est l’occasion de revenir ici pour faire un bilan de ce que j’ai cousu en 2019. Pour commencer, quelques chiffres: Nombre total de piĂšces cousues: 34 dont 5 qui Ă©taient des cadeaux et 3 qui Ă©taient des vĂȘtements existants que j’ai modifiĂ©. Donc 26 piĂšces cousues de A Ă  Z pour moi. (A titre de comparaison, en 2018 j’avais cousu 41 piĂšces dont 8 qui Ă©taient des cadeaux ou des commandes. J’ai donc moins cousu cette annĂ©e, du moins en apparence, car cet Ă©cart s’explique surtout par UN gros projet qui m’a occupĂ© tout l’Ă©tĂ©. :D) Enfin, parmi tous ces projets, 6 ont Ă©té

    J’ai cousu ma robe de mariĂ©e!

    Je reviens aujourd’hui avec un article qui me tenait Ă  cƓur d’écrire. CommencĂ© dĂ©but septembre, je le complĂšte au fur et Ă  mesure depuis, au grĂ© des salles d’attente et des moments de creux. Dans cet article, je vous raconte en dĂ©tail l’envers du dĂ©cor de la confection de ma robe de mariĂ©e. Attention, j’ai Ă©crit un roman! Je n’Ă©cris pas souvent sur ce blog, mais quand je le fais je ne fais pas semblant! Au-delĂ  du partage (j’ai adorĂ© lire des rĂ©cits de couturiĂšres qui avaient cousu leur propre robe de mariĂ©e, et j’avais envie de rendre la pareille), j’ai aussi envie de garder une trace Ă©crite de mes
