For once, we're putting the sewing machine to one side and taking the time to return to the essentials of sewing - needle, thread and scissors - to offer you a little booklet containing a few useful techniques for embellishing your garments. 

"Petit guide à l'usage des passionné.e.s" is conceived as a schoolbook or manual where you'll find step-by-step instructions for making an invisible hem or a knotted stitch (great classics), as well as instructions for cutting your fabric to fit, or even for making more surprising finishes, such as a scalloped hem or a removable feathered hem. 

All in all, it's a great way to keep busy before the new school year starts, and to practice new techniques, take a breather and approach your sewing projects in a new way, always looking for a little more inspiration. 

 

In a very sunny "déjeuner sur l'herbe" atmosphere, we decided to take some of our models and rework them by highlighting details of their cut: the Camille top with the addition of braids and guipure, the Karla bottom dress with embroidery stitches and the very angelic Deniz dress with its airy sleeves.

And if you're a subscriber, you'll find the pattern of the month at the end of August: the Liberté model (available in 3 lengths), as well as an exclusive subscription bonus, the Solène bucket bag.
