swimsuit

I have cut out the swimsuit that it is intended for but haven't gotten around to sewing it together. The swimwear lining looks perfect for my project. All of the things that I have bought from you are nice and top quality..

Très beaux

Boutons de nacre d'une très belle qualité, bon poids et couleur parfaite. Je suis très satisfaite de mon achat.

Beautiful fabric

I have a project in mind for this beautiful fabric.

Lovely Linen

Although I personally dislike sewing with or wearing linen, I purchased this because linen is known to be very good in warmer weather. I am using it for a pair of Jigsaw Pants and I can tell that the result will be beautiful. The colour and handfeel of this fabric is lovely, even if it isn’t what I would usually use.

Amazing dress!

I made this for my daughter’s convocation. It was perfect! She loved it. I highly recommend the video instructions as they contain lots of suggestions for high quality finishes that aren’t in the written instructions. Written instructions are my preference so I wish they had the same detail as the video (thus the 4 stars). Thanks for a great pattern!

Un patron impeccablement pensé, polyvalent et déjà un indispensable

Le patron Émile Barrel Pants est très bien expliqué et vraiment agréable à coudre. Les deux versions, barrel ou standard, offrent une belle polyvalence. J’ai déjà réalisé deux paires en coupe barrel, et je prévois d’en faire d’autres cette saison. C’est un modèle passe‑partout qui peut être porté en mode décontracté ou plus habillé selon l’agencement. Une valeur sûre pour la garde‑robe.
