  • SOPHIE

    SOPHIE

    It might be the situation of almost constant confinement at home, but lately I’ve been looking for super comfy fabrics and models to wear. I recently bought a blue and gray double-face jersey fabric from my little coupon, 95% cotton and 5% elastane, with a nice weight (500 / ml) but I was hesitating about what to do with it. After surfing the internet, I finally opted for the Sophie trousers by Cha’Coud (the alternative was the plateau joggers by Closet Core patterns). In fact, I was looking for something sporty but also quite classic.

    Honestly, I’m super happy with the result, the trousers are super comfortable. I opted for my classic size 36F and I removed 5 cm from the sides to make them more adjusted to the body.

    On a technical level, I had to be a little more careful in sewing the back elastic waistband of the trousers to ensure that the extra of the fabric was distributed well (for my size I cut a 30.5 cm elastic).

    The zipper cuff is fake so the model is quite quick to sew.

    For the knotted belt, instead of using the same fabric, I used a 4 cm wide blue satin ribbon and did not sew the loops.

    Now I am thinking about what to sew with the rest of the fabric. What do you recommend?

  • LISON

    LISON

    And also the March box of Joli lab has reserved a wonderful surprise for me. The colors of this viscose cady are magnificent.

    Lison trousers (in 7/8 version or shorts) have a super comfortable fit!

    On a technical level, nothing to complain about, the tutorial is always very clear and easy to follow. Be careful to the fabric, not to the washing (at low temperatures eh !!) but to the use of pins (fine-tipped and new ones would be better) and of the needle. Personally, I used a Schmetz 60/8 mychrotex.

    What do you think of the result?

  • RECYCLING

    RECYCLING

    Do you ever had a garment in your closet that you never wear but you didn’t want giving away? Here, I had a pair of wool pants that I didn’t wear because they itched too much. Every year at the change of season, the usual dilemma. What do I do? The wool is of beautiful quality. The other day I finally decided, I cut them and sew a pair of pants for polpetta .. obviously lined!! With a nice poplin cotton veeeery soft! 😊.

    For the pattern I used the Sacha pajama pants as a base, but I opted for the belt of the Jim model, wider, both by Ikatee, which I had on hand having sewn these two models recently and which you can find described here and here (ok, I am addicted to Ikatee 😊)

    Here is the result!

  • SACHA

    SACHA

    It is the third Ikatee model I have sewn in a month (see here and here… will I have become addicted? 🙂

    Actually polpetta grows fast and needed new pajamas. The Sacha model is a mixed model.

    Available from 3 to 12 years. Very simple to sew.

    I purchased a white jersey fabric with little gray stars, very soft, on the Atelier de la Création website.

    I assembled the pajamas with the sewing machine, straight stitches and stretch needle and then I finished it with the serger.

    I am very happy with the result.

    What do you think?

  • PYTER

    PYTER

    My polpetta loves tractors and when I found this Christmas fabric with Santa Claus on the tractor on Supercut site I didn’t hesitate to buy it to sew him a pajama.

    For the pattern, I found it on Petit Citron website the Pyter pajamas, size 3 – 14 years at 2 EUR.

    The tutorial is available on the site. Unfortunately, it is not possible to print the complete document but only image by image, which is not ideal. I personally looked directly on the website in case of need. Furthermore, the explanations are rather concise and almost nonexistent for the finishes. Depending on the fabric chosen, in my case it is a rather thick cotton, I recommend finishing the edges with the sew and iron the seams as in the two photos below.

    But for the price of the pattern, I think you can’t ask for more. 😊

  • FANNY

    FANNY

    I was looking for an elegant but practical trousers model for my little polpetta. After various researches I found that Fanny from La Maison Victor matches perfectly what I wanted. Unfortunately, it is necessary to register on the site to be able to access the patterns in PDF format. Otherwise this model was presented in the 02/2020 edition of the magazine. It is not well indicated whether it is a unisex model or just for girls. I therefore opted to use for some details (pockets and belt) a purely masculine fabric, blue and gray, with little robots. The main fabric is a velvet that I bought on Antonietta Tessuti website and that I had already used to sew a dress for myself. The elastic is only in the back of the trousers. The belt is sewn on the sides, but if desired, it could also be omitted. Also this pattern comes to size 176 (17-18 years).

    So I really think that soon I’ll sew one for myself too 😉

  • I AM PANORAMIX

    I AM PANORAMIX

    I must say that the new collection I AM MAGIC is truly magical! I was fascinated by the pattern of the trousers I AM PANORAMIX and by its detail: the large pleat on the front which makes it really very original. These trousers have a classic, fitted cut, with a high waist and ankle length.

    It is simple to sew, with an invisible side zipper. On the back you can sew patch or welt pockets pockets.

    I chose the option with the welt pockets.

    For the fabric, I opted for a stretch twill cotton, bought on the Atelier de la Création website.

    I made no changes to the pattern, cutting my usual size (36F).

    The pattern is available in paper or PDF format, accompanied by an instruction booklet that will accompany you throughout all phases of the project, in English or in French.

    I am very satisfied with the result and I will soon try another model from this new collection: I AM IRMA or I AM CLOCHETTE, which one do you recommend? 🙂
