THE ESSENTIALS

Hello everyone! 

I'm very pleased to present this little videoIt's been nagging at me for months, looking for a good angle, someone to film me etc... and now it's my Christmas present from you to me. I know dozens of you are asking me what brand of sewing machine I have, and how I do this or that, or can I take lessons, is it difficult at first? Yes and No. Yes, because it's the unknown. For example, I don't want to take my driving test, it scares me and seems insurmountable, whereas in reality, I'm sure that most of you have your license and are laughing as you read this. And no, it's not that complicated, because if you're up for it, you'll see that it's very simple and downright addictive. So don't panic, in this little video I'll show you, with a little explanation, the basics of the basics, because the right words. And every time I make a sewing DIY, I'll remind you of this video. Don't worry, we'll carry on sticking masking tape on the walls, but from time to time I'd like to show you that by mastering a few tricks, you can work wonders... Christmas Gift 1/3 Check... 

 Thanks to Axel Tardieu for his hard work and patience, and thanks to Canon for lending us their latest camera, the EOS M, to make this Christmas present. this video. 

 I hope you enjoy this little video. I'm not making anything, but I'm showing you some simple "essential" actions for getting by with sewing.

For example:

• - "pinning",
• - "make a simple seam",
• - open" a seam,
• -make a gathering,
• -notch" a curved seam (for necklines, armholes, etc.) and slide it. 
• - hemming" (easy with an iron).
• -how to "make a right angle" with the sewing machine,
• -sliding" (a cushion, scarf, comforter or other item...)
• -free" angles (as in painting). 
• -drinking tea with lipstick or having a lazy cat are optional...
