WEAR LEMONADE ACT II
My little cats...
This post could have been called "dream big" or "tears of joy, cries of hysteria". It's with a very special emotion that I'm writing to you today, because I'm touching at the tip of my fingers a little girl's dream, or a teenager's dream at least. When I was a little girl, I wanted to look for dinosaurs, and be a part-time florist in a 2-square-meter store down the street from my mom's work... And then, as a teenager, all the girls in my class had a game... "let's draw fashion at least once at Christmas, and dreamed of designing clothes. Secretly, I really wanted to become a designer too, but I told myself I didn't want to be like everyone else, and I said I wanted to be an interior designer or an ergonomist (anything to differentiate myself, I tell you)...
And then I applied to Duperré and studied fashion design, which turned out to be great. I specialized in children's fashion because I thought I'd have more room to express myself, as the women's world was already over-saturated... But I secretly dreamed of being able to wear the clothes I'd designed, and even more, to see women in the street (let's be crazy) wearing those clothes. A dream... And then life got naughty and took twists and turns, and one day I launched my independent life with the Make My Lemonade blog, that little window on the internets that literally changed my life. I've discovered a passion for teaching others how to make things, perhaps yet another unacknowledged childhood dream of becoming a teacher... But Do it Yourself has been my favorite tool and medium over the last few years, so we've been meeting through screens or in real life at workshops!
So today, with the path that life has set before me and the apprenticeship I hardly dared to dream of, I present to you the line of clothes and accessories Wear Lemonade. From now on, every month, when I present you with the sewing patterns Wear Lemonadesewing patterns, you'll be able to either download the pattern, buy it in its packaging, or purchase the finished garment in two colorful variations. Today I have the immense pleasure of opening the adventure with the sale of the Frida dress in pink with black polka dots and the chambray version, in a very limited series, as well as the bonus "mon petit chat" sweatshirt. The perfecto and tutu skirt will arrive in a few weeks, but we'll keep you posted on that anyway.

In the meantime, my little cats, I'm crossing my fingers so hard they'll break my knuckles that you'll like it.
