  • AGATE

    AGATE

    Agate, the pattern from Joli Lab‘s February box, is a beautiful blouse full of details.

    I opted for the smaller version of the shirred collar and the wider version of the cuffs. For the fabric I chose not to use the one included in the box (which I reserved for another project 😊) but a plain cotton poplin because in my opinion the details of this model stand out more.

    I particularly like the straight cut of this blouse because I can wear it under a sweater without having that puffiness effect on the hips, which I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand it!

    On a technical level, I did not find any particular difficulties.

    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?

  • CHARLIE

    CHARLIE

    For the first project of the year I thought about my polpetta. I was looking for a comfortable outfit for kindergarten. By subscribing to the Ikatee newsletter I received the Jim jogpants pattern as a gift, which I then combined with their sweat Charlie. A rather large model with a lined hood and raglan sleeves. I opted for the 4 year size for both the trousers and the sweatshirt (polpetta is 3 years old and measures 1 meter) but it is still a little big. I just finished sewing another Ikatee model (the Grand’Ourse cardigan – I will talk about shortly) and in retrospect I tell myself that I should have sewn the exact size since their models are quite large.

    For the fabric I chose a jeans-colored sweater (Maille Sweatshirt – extra quality – Uni – Jeans) that I had bought on Stragier and a patterned cotton that I had in stock for the hood lining and pockets.

    I am quite happy with the result.

  • LUCIE

    LUCIE

    Lucie or Livy? What a difficult choice! Unfortunately, in the box there wasn’t enough fabric to sew both models! In addition, the fabric is really beautiful as Joli Lab had anticipated! Finally, for this December box I opted for the top Lucie. Easy to make, in a couple of hours the game is done! I cut the pattern in my usual size but I should have added a couple of centimeters in length as I made a double hem slightly wider than the 1cm expected.

    Now I want to look for a black jacquard for the Livy skirt ….

  • 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. 😊
