Linna Morata
Depuis le début de mai Linna Morata organise désormais des ateliers de coutures dans leurs locaux à Montreuil. Cet après-midi j'ai participe à l'un de ces ateliers. Le thème: poser du biais. J'ai toujours éviter de poser des biais. Ça avait l'air trop complique et trop galère. Après ce cours, je me demande pourquoi je ne l'ai pas tenter avant car c'est vraiment très facile, il faut juste

Mini mochimochi invasion
For my knitting circle's last challenge before the summer holidays, we're doing a mini knits challenge. This is what I made so far. All the patterns are from Anna Hrachovec's book Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi. Many more to come.
Pour le dernière tricot thé de l'année avant les vacances d'été, on s'est lancé le défi de faire du mini tricot. Voilà ce que j'ai fait. Tous les modelés viennent du livre

Come sail away : Part 1: Windward
A few months ago I recieved the e-book "Come sail away" by Heidi Kirrmaier. I immediately wanted to knit all the patterns. Here is my Windward. This shawl has a very unusual shape and its a change from traditional shawl shapes. It's a very versatile shawl because you can wear it in many different ways.
Pattern: Windward by Heidi Kirrmaier
Yarn: Wollemesie 100% Superwash
Needles: 3mm circular

Last week's sewing
I didn't have much sewing time last week but I did manage to finish two more of these groccerie bags and I have many many project bags that are almost finish.

The perfect bag
I know, another groccerie bag, but I just love making them. This really is the perfect bag and the perfect size. Just before we went on holiday I had some time to make the larger version of the Keyka Lou Groccerie bag and I'm very happy with it. I used it as a beach bag and a groccerie bag while on holiday. I'll be making many more of these.

I changed the pattern a bit. I

Post sans titre
Dimanche j'ai fait un peu de couture mais rien de très excitante, juste des réparation de pantalons qui m'a quand même pris presque deux heures. Deux heures pour deux pantalons! ... oui, car il faut ouvrir les jambes des pantalons avant de pouvoir coudre des pièces et ça prends du temps/
En discutant avec d'autres mamans au square, je me suis rendu compte qu'on a tous le même problème avec les

Couture anglaise: Part 1
French seams/ couture anglaises
Waiting to be sewed
Today I quickly (45 minutes) sewed up this lovely bag in preparation for an afternoon of sewing with some friends tomorrow. I'm going to demonstrate french seams to them and this seemed like the perfect project. I used a coupon of Kaffe Fassett fabric that I got from a friend. I really wanted to make something pretty out of this fabric

Mini groccerie bag
Today I finished this lovely mini groccerie bag. I've been wanting to make this for a longtime. The pattern is available here on the Keyka Lou Blog. This is so fun and easy to make.
I took my bag out for a test run this afternoon and I just love it. I got so many compliments on the Paris underground. I see many more of these bags in the future.

A new batch
Last week I had a good sewing week. I managed to make 10 new project bags. My goal each week is to make at least 5.

Most of the fabric comes from Yodoya, rue St. Glles in Paris.
