CarmencitaB: The M&M Moose / Les Orignaux M&M
http://www.carmencitab.com/2015/04/the-m-moose-les-orignaux-m.html
The M&M Moose / Les Orignaux M&M. Once in a while, JrC wants to sew something. Last time he did, I got the Merchant and Mills Moosery. Print fabric and my Simplicity 501 free. Pyjama pants pattern and said lets do them entirely on the new machine. When I went for my BabyLock Ovation. Training in February, I left with the impression that it could do everything but the coffee and automatic buttonholes. I also thought that sounded way too good to be true. So with the kid and I set out to test that. The pipi...

This is my oldest Me-Made, circa 1984 / Ma plus vieille création, datant de 1984. What is it exactly am I doing with my Me-Made-May? I'm just trying to have fun. Me-Made is everyday around here, has been for years so I decided to do something else. If you want the deeds on a pattern or fabric, ask for it. If you know the lyrics to the song I'm singing on that day, sing along! The fun is on IG. Ps Normal programming will resume when I finish all this nautical sewing stuff. Le party est sur IG.

LA ROBE DE LA FINALE PARTIE 3 - Le Montage / THE FINALE'S DRESS PART 3 - Construction. Oui, j'ai triché pour dessiner la robe. J'ai pris le dos du t-shirt Renfrew. Pour dessiner les courbes et calculé le reste. J'ai plié le tissu en 2, j'ai coupé puis creusé l'encolure devant. Pourquoi faire compliqué quand on peut faire simple. I cheated to draft my dress. I took the back pattern piece from my Renfrew. Nota Bene, the sleeves come a little short with this method, add 3/4cm to the neck to wrist measurement.

CarmencitaB: Burda Rosa E2
http://www.carmencitab.com/2015/03/burda-rosa-e2.html
Je crois que j'ai tout dit sur la construction de cette veste dans mon billet précédent. Et à part que les manches sont soit trop longues ou trop courtes selon mon activité, si je plie les bras comme dans le magazine, elles sont parfaites donc tout ce que j'ai à faire c'est de déambuler en pinçant mon nez avec mes deux mains en tout temps! I think I've said everything you need to know about the construction of this jacket in my previous post. 22 mars, 2015. 25 mars, 2015. Tu vas attendre longtemps! Et av...

La Robe Thématique de Noël / The Christmas Stunt Dress. Vous ne l'avez pas vue, ben moi non plus! Je l'ai commencé avant Noël, puis j'ai passé une grosse semaine au fond de mon lit, je l'ai finie entre deux quintes de toux. Je l'ai porté pour aller prendre l'apéro chez des copains, deux heures, aucune photo n'a été prise de l'événement et je suis retournée me coucher. You didn't see it, neither did I! I started it before Christmas, then I spent a week in bed, I finished it between fits of coughing. To se...

Burda Rosa - Before Closing / Avant de Fermer. Before I close my Rosa jacket forever, I thought maybe you would want to see some of the innards because they do contribute to the wonderfulness of it. I say this all the time, but my last jacket is always my best because the more jackets I make, the more I know what to do, the better they get. I love this one to bits, it's a wearable muslin and it's just about perfect. I don't even know if I'll make it in the fashion fabric. Was a little soft for the look I...

How to Watch Sewing Bees / Comment Regarder Cousu Main. Raawrr (this means disclaimer in bear language) : This is not a sponsored post, I have not received any compensation or even a free Tunnel Bear. Because I like their service, I just asked Smokey Bear. To cook something up for the benefit of my sewing beehive. Et lui ai demandé de bidouiller quelque chose pour amadouer mes lecteurs voraces avec un peu de miel. Then, I found the TunnelBear. What I liked best was their pricing options. This is a full y...

My Alders / Mes Alders. I have to tell you about my Alders. Because I've been wearing them all the time! I have made 3 in August, two for me and one for my Sister's B'day, and September weather was pretty good, so I put them through the wringer more than once. I wore one when I met Marie-Noëlle. At La Manufacture Bohin. You can visit the needle factory and talk to the people who make them. Il faut que je vous parle des mes Alder. Parce que je les porte tout le temps! À La Manufacture Bohin. I modified th...
