That's it, my little chickens, 

It's officially the start of the new season, the end of the vacations for the average French person, and it's going to be okay, I promise! It's the big day, and as well as sharpening my pencils and breaking in my new backpack, today at the studio we're launching the Nina pantsuit! Hello Nina! She can't wait to meet you and to be your ally for this new year... So now Nina is available on WearLemonade.com to buy ready-made in crepe... ultramarine blue and in crepe navy blue and white stripes. But you can also go ahead and make Nina yourself, thanks to the sewing pattern and video below! To choose the size of your Nina, I advise you to take your usual size, the best being to measure your waist circumference. If you're between 2 sizes, take the size below! All indications are on the product sheet anyway!

I'll remind you, but if you've read the article of Nina's announcement, you already know, but this week (until Sunday) and to perfect your new look, we're giving you the chance to win 3 pairs of Stan Smith from Adidas. But how? Well, in the form of a golden ticket! In your Wear Lemonade parcels, you may be lucky enough to find one of 3 tickets! All you have to do is give us the secret code on your ticket (they're all different), tell us your shoe size and the model you're interested in, and you'll receive the grail of comfort. I'm counting on you to re-appropriate your model with Mexican pasta, polka dots, ribbon laces, do us proud... I love the idea of the golden ticket, I think it's so cool this double surprise: for me, any parcel in my letterbox is a bit like Christmas, and then discovering a second gift is better than a domino effect! As far as I'm concerned, this way I only won a ticket to see the Whatfor in concert in a box of Kinder Délice, a dark story...  

Little things to know about this boss:

  • You can buy the sewing pattern in its beautiful packaging, with its explanatory booklet and little label. here, for 14.90 euros.
  • You can download the pattern in Pdf  for 1.99 euros, it does not include the sewing booklet, but you have the video above to help you and a sheet of nina's page location. A little bonus: it's now printable on A4 and US letter.
  • The pattern's degree of difficulty is: "Rather Easy", it's simple really, it's just that rubber band that might make you cringe... 
  • For a combination, you'll need to allow for 3m of fabric consumption in a 1m45-width fabric (classic width of a roll of fabric). We recommend synthetic or natural crepe, or jersey.
  • You'll also need a little fusible webbing to stiffen a few parts, such as the neckline and perhaps your pocket flaps if you're using a soft fabric (allow around 1m of medium fusible webbing).
  • Just a reminder, because it's always a good idea to note it here: in all patterns Wear Lemonadepatterns, the seam allowance is included in the pattern and is one centimetre (except for hems)!
  • And if you're in a sewing panic, don't hesitate to e-mail Laure, the queen of patterns: [email protected]
