#throwbackthursday Shorts Aime comme Manège by Aime comme Marie
Hello everyone ! It is going to be a very short article today, to show you my version of the Aime comme Manège high waisted shorts, by the pattern company Aime comme Marie.

It was perfect to test this pattern which doesn’t consume much fabric. I made the shorts last summer,…

#throwbackthursday #1 Lora Dress – La Maison Victor
Hello everybody! New post today with a little throwback thursday : may I present you the famous Lora Dress, by the Belgian pattern magazine La Maison Victor.

January: the Dress #isewmycapsulewardrobe2017
Here it is, it’s time to present the first project of the I Sew My Capsule Wardrobe 2017 Challenge! As I already explained in my presentation article of the challenge, I started with an easy one and decided to sew a dress for the first month of the year! Dresses are what I sew the most I think, it’s so easy to put on on mornings where you don’t have any inspiration to match tops and bottoms together. The choice of pattern and my initial idea For this dress, I had a specific idea in mind, I wanted to finally use my Iris pantsuit pattern from the pattern company Dessine-moi un patron,…
