Hello you!
I’m trying to get rid of my laziness about this blog to show the costumes I made this winter.
The next post is almost written since a few days but I’m dawdling. I’m blocking instead of blogging! In other words, that’s the bloggy blues!
Plus, I don’t really know how to show you some things. Read more »
Do you remember that I made Charlotte & Andries’ wedding cards (big wedding & civil wedding) and the menus? To finish properly, this is the thank you card!
They asked me to highlight, via my drawing, the big and little things that symbolized their D-day. For this, they authorized me to have a look in their wedding photos… and what a beautiful wedding it was, so fresh and delicate!
So, this is Charlotte and Andries in their very classy old car. And the souvenirs of the day, in foreground: umbrella & fan, champagne & mustache, petals of roses in cone paper & paper birds and the little honey pots seen here. Read more »
Pfffeeew, this week was a housework week! All the costumes (that I haven’t show you yet, I know, I’m a nasty girl) are now cleaned, listed and stored. My little studio, which was completely invaded, can breathe again, after a big reorganization.
As it was tidy and as it’s pretty rare, I’ve taken pictures, to show you how it is for the 2nd time. The 1st time, it was in this post and the room was almost empty. At this time, my aim was to fill it with second hand furniture and avoid the big stores (like Ikea), as much as possible.
So, what about it today? Read more »
Hey…
As I said a long time ago, here I come again with a sewing project…
Craig, director of the Haymarket Opera Company I worked for in August (see episode 1, 2 and 3), ordered me a shirt.
Craig is a viola de gamba player (kind of cello) and, as a a lot of musicians, he has to be dressed in black. I proposed him a tunic with a straight collar, in a very light silk, to change from casual black shirts that he can find easily in the stores. Read more »
My very dear readers,
Isn’t the time to begin 2012 on this blog?
Sorry for my silence here and on your blogs… I’m spending all my time on working hard on the costumes for the next Haymarket Opera Company‘s show. The performance takes place in Chicago, in the end of February…. I would love to see you there! Otherwise, I hope to post nice pictures in March (or April, you know me a bit now…)
Except that, once upon a time I told you that I’ll never ever annoy you again with my poems. Bummer! I have a new one… Sorry guys… Read more »
What about ending 2011 with confessing our faults, our terrible errors that lead us to long and painful project?
Like for stopping a curse and promising to only have brilliant, efficient and funny projects for the new year… Read more »
It has been a while since my last post… Thanks a lot for all the very kind comments you left for the POMD! I didn’t have the time to answer to everybody because I’m very busy since mid-November but I’m going to fix that quickly!
Today, a little illustration made just a few days before Mathilde & Antoine’s wedding. Mathilde wanted a naïve drawing of her future husband and her, in their wedding’s clothes… but without telling Antoine to keep the surprise until the D-day! Read more »
Hello friendz !
Today, I’m talking with you very frankly: I’m introducing you to the Pants Of My Dreams, aka the POMD. No more than that. Yep.
Those for who I was looking for years, before knowing how to sew, in the clothes stores. After, those for who I was looking for in Burda & partners.
Ah, don’t believe that I met them just like that, simply me & my POMD, in the magic forest of the holy seamstress. Read more »
Hello, hello !
I hope you had tons of fun for Halloween this year!
To continue with Charlotte & Andries‘ wedding, this is the menu: Read more »
This is the last episode about the costumes: Polifemo’s, the jealous and violent Cyclops.
It was the last costume I made. I met Benjamin 10 days before the premiere. Fortunately, his costume was the more “relaxing”, from a sewing point of view!
This is the draft, drawn during my researches: Read more »
