Like I said in my last post, my version is an interpretation and not a litteral copy -&amp;nbsp; the Splendid cardigan has raglan sleeves while mine has set in sleeves. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;My first clue in decoding the front shape was that I could notice on some pictures that the draping starts at the bustline, like we can see in the following pictures:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bonjour,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Voici la 2e partie au sujet du cardigan Splendid; si vous avez manqué la 1ère, elle est &lt;a href="http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2012/01/splendid-cardigan-interpretation-part.html" target="_blank"&gt;ici&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Aujourd'hui je montre la forme de base du cardigan et de quelle façon j'ai été capable de le copier en examinant des photos sur internet. Comme je disais dans ma dernière entrée blog, ma version est une interprétation et non une copie conforme - le cardigan Splendid a des manches raglan et ma version a des manches montées.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mon premier indice quand j'ai tenté de décoder la forme a été quand j'ai observé sur certaines photos que le drapé originait de la ligne de buste, comme nous pouvons le voir dans les images suivantes:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444;

font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Après avoir remarqué d'où tombait le drapé, j'ai imaginé ce qui arriverait si je prenais le bas de la bande (A) et que je l'amenais jusqu'au point B, d'où origine le drapé.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZBIw-ktpb7M/Tw4SVCBjehI/AAAAAAAAA4A/cC9Kul6kFG0/s1600/sage+cardi+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZBIw-ktpb7M/Tw4SVCBjehI/AAAAAAAAA4A/cC9Kul6kFG0/s400/sage+cardi+copy.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;What you'll get is a square, like you see in the following picture. So the shape of the Splendid cardi is in fact very simple, but I was kind of proud of myself for being able to deduct that from a photo.&amp;nbsp; I've always thought I had more of an 'artistic' brain than a 'logical' brain. So I guess sewing is good for me! It makes me develop my logical and spatial abilities!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ce que vous obtenez est un carré, comme ci-bas. Donc la forme du cardigan Splendid est en fait très simple, mais j'étais assez fière de moi de l'avoir trouvé toute seule à partir d'une photo. J'ai toujours pensé que j'avais plus un cerveau 'artistique' qu'un cerveau 'logique'!

Sometimes I even get obsessed with a garment, as it has been the case lately with this draped cardigan by &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.splendid.com/"&gt;Splendid&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (seen on Net-a-porter and many other boutiques). Super stylish cardis are all the rage now and can be admired in the collections of Rick Owens, Donna Karan, Alexander Wang and such. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Back to the Splendid cardigan, the features I like about it are that it is nicely fitted above and has this draping going on at the bottom front, the back and the sides appear adjusted, and I also like the long narrow sleeves and the front band.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Unable to find a pattern like that in all the pattern companies I searched, I wanted one for myself so I decided I would attempt to copy it.&amp;nbsp; I searched the internet to get good pictures of it as I wanted to crack the mystery of its shape! It is in fact quite simple to decipher. I spent a weekend obsessing about it, sketching various shapes, making quick muslins and now I think I have the ‘solution’.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Je ne sais pas pour vous, mais pour ma part je trouve beaucoup d'inspiration et d'idées de couture sur internet. Des fois je deviens même obsédée par un vêtement, comme ce fut le cas dernièrement avec ce cardigan drapé par &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.splendid.com/"&gt;Splendid&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (vu sur Net-a-porter et autres boutiques). Les cardis fashion font fureur en ce moment et peuvent être admirés dans les collections de Rick Owens, Donna Karan, Alexander Wang et autres.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;De retour à notre cardigan Splendid, ce que j’aime est qu’il est ajusté dans le haut et a ce joli drapé dans le bas du devant, le dos et les côtés sont plutôt ajustés, et j’aime aussi les longues manches étroites et la bande du devant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Devant l'impossibilité de trouver un patron de cardigan pour m'en faire un semblable,&amp;nbsp; j’ai cherché de bonnes image sur internet, bien décidée à le copier et à percer le mystère de sa forme! C’est en fait assez simple à décoder. J’ai passé une fin de semaine à obséder là-dessus et j’ai fait plusieurs dessins et cousu de rapides toiles, et maintenant je pense que j’ai la ‘solution’.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V2iiLPzdYDo/TwoaCivUlZI/AAAAAAAAA14/olWfR4_7pwU/s1600/close-up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V2iiLPzdYDo/TwoaCivUlZI/AAAAAAAAA14/olWfR4_7pwU/s400/close-up.jpg" width="337" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;My interpretation of the Splendid cardigan / Mon interprétation du cardigan Splendid&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-foMxYiWVuU0/TwoaPRwz1MI/AAAAAAAAA2A/cX0zYSV2zw0/s1600/IMG_3305.jpg" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-foMxYiWVuU0/TwoaPRwz1MI/AAAAAAAAA2A/cX0zYSV2zw0/s640/IMG_3305.jpg" width="353" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;My version is more of an interpretation than a litteral coppy. The main difference is that I didn't make raglan sleeves. First, I don't know how to convert set in sleeves to raglan sleeves, second, I could have started with a pattern that has raglan sleeves but I didn't have one, and third I like the fit of the shoulders and the sleeves of this one (I used the Jalie cardigan pattern as a base). The other difference is that I shaped the back with a CB seam.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ma version est plus une interprétation qu'une copie conforme. La différence majeure est que je n'ai pas fait de manches raglan. Un, je ne sais pas convertir des manches&amp;nbsp; montées en manches raglan, deux, j'aurais pu partir d'un patron avec des manches raglan mais je n'en avais pas, et trois j'aimais bien de toute façon la coupe aujustée des épaules et des manches de mon patron de base (j'ai utilisé celui du cardigan Jalie). L'autre différence est que j'ai ajouté une couture milieu dos pour un meilleur ajustement. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;

Well, I'm by no means an expert on the subject, but here are some cues.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;You can subscribe directly from &lt;a href="http://www.hepipressweb.com/moda/abbonamenti.html"&gt;Hepipress&lt;/a&gt;, the editor of LMB. Price is 150 euros for Canada and United States - approx. $195.00 for 1 year. You can send your credit card information using their fax number and specifying &lt;span class="Stile36"&gt;“abbonamento a La mia Boutique”. Or, you can go to the site &lt;a href="http://www.abbonatiweb.it/categoria.asp?id=62"&gt;Abbonati Web&lt;/a&gt; and choose if you want to subscribe to just the regular LMB issues, or add the 'specials' which are the Plus size issues, Kids issues, etc, and then put your selections in the cart and pay with your credit card. The UK website &lt;a href="http://www.magazinecafe.co.uk/mall/productpage.cfm/magazinecafe/_9994067/-/LA%20MIA%20BOUTIQUE"&gt;Magazine Cafe&lt;/a&gt; also offers subscriptions to the magazine, as well as various editors in France that I'm not listing here. You can find them easily with a little research. I don't recommend buying single issues from Magazine Cafe, though; I've tried to buy from them in the past, and 3 out of 4 times they couldn't honor my order as the magazine was sold out (they give priority to the subscriptions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Stile36"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Stile36"&gt;If you'd like to buy single issues to see if you like LMB, I can suggest the german website &lt;a href="http://www.resew.de/index.php/cat/c838_La-mia-Boutique.html"&gt;Resew&lt;/a&gt;. The lady there carries LMB and presents technical drawings and excerpts of the magazine every month. Excellent customer service, I tested it. There is also a dutch website, &lt;a href="http://www.marlofashionmagazines.nl/html/patroonbladen.html"&gt;Marlo fashion magazines&lt;/a&gt;. A bit pricey, but very good customer service (tested it as well). In the US, I know that &lt;a href="http://shop.aroundtheworldnyc.com/La-Mia-Boutique-Magazine-255890045600158.htm?categoryId=-1"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Around the world&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; carries the magazine (and offers subscriptions as well). I'm wondering if the shipping time is the same as if you subscribe directly from Hepipress though. In Canada, I know that some stores in Montreal and Quebec carry LMB. Personally I buy my copy every month at &lt;b&gt;La Maison de la Presse internationale&lt;/b&gt;, as it's the same price as a subscription.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Stile36"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Stile36"&gt;So that's all I know about how to get LMB!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444;

Vous pouvez transmettre votre numéro de carte de crédit par fax en spécifiant &lt;span class="Stile36"&gt;“abbonamento a La mia Boutique”. Ou bien vous pouvez vous rendre sur le site &lt;a href="http://www.abbonatiweb.it/categoria.asp?id=62"&gt;Abbonati Web&lt;/a&gt; et choisir parmi les forfaits indiqués, qui comprennent l'abonnement régulier ou l'abonnement avec les spéciaux La Mia Boutique tels que les numéros tailles plus, enfants, mariée, etc. Vous ajoutez votre sélection au panier et payez par carte de crédit. Le site britannique &lt;a href="http://www.magazinecafe.co.uk/mall/productpage.cfm/magazinecafe/_9994067/-/LA%20MIA%20BOUTIQUE"&gt;Magazine Cafe&lt;/a&gt; offre aussi un abonnement au magazine, ainsi que plusieurs éditeurs en France que je ne liste pas ici. Ils sont faciles à trouver avec un peu de recherche. Je ne recommande toutefois pas d'acheter des numéros individuels de chez Magazine Cafe; j'ai&amp;nbsp; déjà acheté chez eux mais ils n'ont pu honorer ma commande 3 fois sur 4 parce qu'ils n'avaient plus de copies (ils accordent la priorité aux abonnés).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Stile36"&gt;Si vous désirez acheter des numéros individuels pour voir si vous aimez le magazine, je peux suggérer le site allemand &lt;a href="http://www.resew.de/index.php/cat/c838_La-mia-Boutique.html"&gt;Resew&lt;/a&gt;. La dame tient LMB et présente les dessins techniques et des images du magazine chaque mois. Son service à la clientèle est excellent (j'ai acheté plusieurs fois chez elle). Il y a aussi le site hollandais&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.marlofashionmagazines.nl/html/patroonbladen.html"&gt;Marlo fashion magazines&lt;/a&gt;. Un peu cher, mais très bon service à la clientèle (testé également). Aux États-Unis, je sais que la boutique &lt;a href="http://shop.aroundtheworldnyc.com/La-Mia-Boutique-Magazine-255890045600158.htm?categoryId=-1"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Around the world&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; tient le magazine (et offre des abonnements également). Je me demande toutefois si le délai d'expédition est le même que si on s'abonne directement chez Hepipress. Au Canada, certains marchands de revues à Montréal et Québec tiennent le magazine. Personellement, j'achète ma copie chaque mois à &lt;b&gt;La Maison de la Presse internationale&lt;/b&gt;, puisque c'est le même prix qu'un abonnement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Stile36"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Stile36"&gt;Et voilà tout ce que je sais sur comment se procurer La Mia Boutique!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1573469766533844144-4434793519204191070?l=jazz-couture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/feeds/4434793519204191070/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2012/01/la-mia-boutique-december-2011.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/4434793519204191070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/4434793519204191070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2012/01/la-mia-boutique-december-2011.html' title='La Mia Boutique December 2011'/><author><name>Virginie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02823462969950141823</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/SylQP6wPDpI/AAAAAAAAAXA/teJYZjMlQ4Y/S220/Avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eNJp9_Mh5VM/TwSSwJfEEoI/AAAAAAAAA0k/LogDWuuRkAE/s72-c/LMB+p.1+032.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573469766533844144.post-6162669528025842193</id><published>2011-12-26T19:11:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-26T20:59:14.853-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tirage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='La Mia Boutique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='giveaway'/><title type='text'>And the winner is.../Et la gagnante est...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi all,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;The lucky person who has won the La Mia Boutique magazine is...

font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;It's the Holidays and I thought it would be cool to do a giveaway of a La Mia Boutique issue! You know I love sewing with La Mia Boutique patterns, so first let me just say a word about this top I had been wanting to make for a long time. It's a knit top with a loose collar, 3/4 sleeves, and the bottom part is made from matching rib knit. Now, that's the problem! It's so hard to find jersey knit with its matching rib knit that I had to put aside this project 'til I could find the right stuff, namely a beautiful black viscose jersey I got from La Maison Stragier, and some 1x1 rayon rib knit I had bought a while ago from EmmaOneSock. As you know not all blacks are created equal, but those two were quite a good match!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;I sewed an italian size 38 this time; usually I choose a 40 with LMB but sometimes I think I'm better with a 38 when the design is loose. I deviated from the original fabric recommendations for the bottom band; they call for rib knit with one edge finished and a gold stripe at the bottom (!),&amp;nbsp; but&amp;nbsp; hey, matching rib knit is so hard to find in the first place that don't ask for the impossible! I just doubled the piece given for the band, sewed the side, folded it and attached it in the round to the bodice part. I also functioned on the same principle for the neck band.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;It's a very simple top, and I hope I will find more jersey with its matching rib knit to make more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/review/pattern/70098"&gt;There is a critic of this top at PR. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Bonjour tout le monde,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;C'est le Temps des Fêtes et j'ai pensé que ça serait sympathique de faire tirer un numéro de la revue La Mia Boutique! Vous savez que j'adore coudre avec les patrons La Mia Boutique, alors laissez-moi tout d'abord vous causer un peu de ce top que j'avais envie de coudre depuis un bout de temps. C'est un top avec un col roulé tombant, manches chauve-souris longueur 3/4, et la bande de hanches est faite de tricot à côtes assorti. Et le voilà, le problème! Il est toujours extrêmement difficile de trouver un joli jersey avec son tricot à côtes assorti, alors j'ai dû mettre ce projet de côté longtemps avant de trouver les perles rares, soit un magnifique tricot de viscose/lycra noir de chez La Maison Stragier, ainsi qu'un tricot à côtes 1x1 de rayonne acheté il y a un bout de temps chez EmmaOneSock. Comme vous le savez, les noirs ne sont pas tous créés égaux, mais ces deux-là étaient un match pratiquement parfait!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;J'ai cousu cette fois une taille italienne 38; habituellement je choisis un 40 chez La Mia Boutique, mais des fois je trouve que je suis mieux avec un 38 quand le design est ample. J'ai dévié des recommandations de tissu originales pour la bande de hanches; ils demandent du tricot à côtes avec un bord remaillé et une rayure dorée au bas (!), mais déjà que trouver du tricot à côtes assorti est difficile, alors là il ne faut pas demander l'impossible! J'ai tout simplement doublé la pièce donnée pour la bande, j'ai cousu un côté, je l'ai pliée en deux puis je l'ai montée au corsage en rond. J'ai fonctionné sur le même principe pour la bande du col.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;C'est un top très simple, et j'espère bien trouver d'autre jersey avec son tricot à côtes assorti pour m'en faire d'autres.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white;

font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;This is an interesting top pattern that was featured in the November issue of Burda Style magazine. As soon as I saw it I had to try it and started tracing it almost immediately (which is SO unusual for me!). I like the huggy collar for the winter months, as well as the relaxed fit, the front drape and the dropped shoulder seam. What I didn't expect is that it would be THAT loose on me! I made my usual Burda size 36, and honestly I could have sewed a 34. Burda is not kidding when they say that this top is oversized! I ended taking in 1 inch on the sides - that means 4 inches total, that's a lot! And I took in even more on the sleeves as the fabric was hanging in an unattractive way.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Burda calls this a t-shirt when in fact it's a tunic length; if you don't shorten it it will probably hit you at mid tighs. The sleeves are also oversized and are meant to bunch at the wrists. I had to fuss a bit to adjust my top to my taste and make it look more like the technical drawing. I shortened the bottom by 4 inches and the sleeves by 3 inches. You can avoid a waste of fabric if you don't need all this length everywhere!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Fabric used: cotton/viscose/lycra knit&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/review/pattern/69711"&gt;There is a critic on PR here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Bonjour tout le monde,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Alors voici un patron de top intéressant paru dans la toute récente édition de novembre de Burda Style magazine. Aussitôt que je l'ai vu j'ai eu envie de l'essayer et je l'ai tracé presque immédiatement (très inhabituel pour moi!). J'adore le col montant pour les mois d'hiver, le drapé devant ainsi que la coupe relax avec la ligne d'emmanchure tombante. Ce que je n'avais pas prévu est que ce top serait si ample sur moi! J'ai cousu ma taille 36 habituelle chez Burda, et honnêtement j'aurais dû coudre un 34. Burda ne rigole pas quand ils disent que ce top est oversized! J'ai repris du tissu, 1 pouce sur les côtés - ce qui veut dire 4 pouces total, c'est beaucoup vous ne trouvez pas? Et j'ai repris encore plus pour les manches car le tissu pendouillait d'une façon pas très jolie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Burda appelle ce top un t-shirt alors qu'en réalité c'est vraiment une longueur tunique. Si vous ne le raccourcissez pas, il vous ira à mi-cuisse. Les manches aussi sont oversized et sont faites pour ravaler aux poignets. J'ai dû bidouiller un peu pour ajuster ce top à mon goût et le faire ressembler davantage au dessin technique. J'ai raccourci la longueur de 4 pouces et les manches de 3 pouces. Vous pouvez vous éviter un beau gaspillage de tissu si vous n'avez pas besoin de toute cette longueur partout!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;

text-align: justify;"&gt;This is a quick project I whipped up lately. In fact this is my 2nd version of that beautiful Blumarine wrap dress that appeared in Burda Style magazine in June 2011. I made it from cotton jersey last summer (it has yet to be photographed), and this present version is made from a beautiful silk jersey print from Anna Sui, bought from EmmaOneSock. Strange fabric actually, that my 3 machines hated to sew. I even broke a needle on my serger, one thing that never happened to me before. As if the needles had trouble 'entering' the fabric.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;To get back to the dress, it is really simple with beautiful lines, really unfussy and uncomplicated to sew as there is no interfacing required and almost no markings (I just notched for the collar and the side ties). You could even use only the serger and the coverstitch machine if you'd like. Ideal projects for novice sewers as well as people like me who don't have that much time to sew and want a garment completed in a few hours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Be aware though that the cut is sleek and is quite unforgiving in the hip area - a Spanx is warmly recommended! The only change I made was to shorten the (long) sleeves. And I secure the neckline with a small safety pin - I don't wear it open like the model in the magazine!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/review/pattern/68986"&gt;There is a critic of that dress on PR. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Voilà un projet rapide réalisé dans le dernier mois je crois. En fait, il s'agit de ma seconde version de cette jolie robe porte-feuille du designer italien Blumarine qui est parue dans le magazine Burda Style de juin 2011. Je l'ai réalisée en jersey de coton l'été dernier (toujours pas photographiée, d'ailleurs), et cette présente version est en jersey de soie de Anna Sui, acheté chez EmmaOneSock. Bizarre de tissu que mes 3 machines ont détesté coudre - j'ai même cassé une aiguille sur ma surjeteuse, ce qui ne m'était jamais arrivé! Comme si les aiguilles avaient de la difficulté à entrer dans la maille.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Pour en revenir à la robe, elle est très simple avec de belles lignes, vraiment pas compliquée à coudre puisqu'il n'y a aucun entoilage et pratiquement pas de marquage à faire (j'ai cranté pour la position du col et des liens à nouer). On peut la coudre entièrement à la surjeteuse et à la coverstitch si on veut. Un projet idéal pour les débutantes ou pour les gens qui comme moi n'ont pas tant de temps à consacrer à la couture et qui veulent compléter un projet en quelques heures.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Soyez averties cependant que la coupe est slim et est un peu étriquée dans la région des hanches - je recommande chaudement le Spanx! Le seul changement que j'ai apporté est de raccourcir les (longues) manches. Et je sécurise l'encolure avec une petite épingle - je ne porte pas la robe ouverte comme la mannequin dans la revue!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;

I feel a bit off to review it now in November, since it's made from linen knit and I sewed it last spring. Anyway... sometimes it takes me awfully long to get photographed the garments I make!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;I like dusters and cardis as they are great transitional pieces in a wardrobe and these days I'm trying many patterns. Dusters tend to be longer and looser than cardis, as this one which has a very loose, relaxed shape. It also has ties in the sides, but I've never found any other way to use them than tied in the back! I really like the design of this duster and will probably sew another one in a wool knit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;The fabric of this one is a 100% linen knit I found at my local fabric store - I couldn't believe it! It get distorted so easily in the drier (ask me how I know!) that I chose to cut and sew prior to wash it. The design so loose anyway that I didn't notice any difference in the fit when I washed it (by hand) and dried it (flat).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The PR critic can be found &lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readreview.pl?readreview=1&amp;amp;reviewnum=61546"&gt;here. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Bonjour tout le monde,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Aujourd'hui je consacre une entrée blog à ce cache-poussière tiré du magazine italien La Mia Boutique. Je me sens un peu décalée d'en parler en novembre, puisqu'il est fait de tricot de lin et que je l'ai cousu le printemps dernier. Enfin... des fois ça me prend un temps fou pour arriver à photographier les vêtements que je couds!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;J'aime les cardigans et les cache-poussière car je trouve qu'ils font d'excellents morceaux de transition entre les saisons, et de ce temps-ci j'essaie plusieurs patrons. Les cache-poussière sont en général plus longs et plus amples que les cardigans, comme celui-ci qui a un design très ample et relax. Il a aussi des liens sur les côtés, mais je n'ai jamais trouvé de meilleur moyen de m'en servir que de les attacher dans le dos! J'aime beaucoup le design de ce cache-poussière et j'en coudrai probablement un autre dans une maille de laine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Le tissu de celui-ci est un tricot 100% lin que j'ai déniché à mon magasin de tissu local (je n'en croyais pas mes yeux!). Il se déforme tellement facilement à la sécheuse que j'ai choisi de le tailler et de le coudre avant de le laver (croyez-moi j'ai payé pour apprendre!). Le design est tellement ample de toute façon que je n'ai pas noté de différence après l'avoir lavé (à la main) et l'avoir séché (à plat).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La critique de ce patron (en anglais) sur PR se trouve &lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readreview.pl?readreview=1&amp;amp;reviewnum=61546"&gt;ici. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444;

Here is a draped knit top that I've been wanting to document for a long time 'cause it has some interesting details, but alas I tend to procrastinate when it comes to download pictures! This is a knit top copied from RTW (a french brand), and you'll find the info about the project on &lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readreview.pl?readreview=1&amp;amp;reviewnum=55635"&gt;this review&lt;/a&gt; on PR. But for you, just for you my blog readers, I've reserved the shots that reveal the construction details and how the buckle is enclosed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Bonjour tout le monde,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Aujourd'hui je serai brève et ce sera une publication avec plus de photos que de mots... Voici un petit top drapé que je voulais documenter depuis longtemps à cause de ses détails intéressants, mais j'avoue que j'ai tendance à procrastiner lorsqu'il est temps de télécharger des photos (c'est tellement long...)! C'est un petit top copié du prêt-à-porter (une marque française), et vous trouverez les infos (en anglais) sur le projet dans &lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readreview.pl?readreview=1&amp;amp;reviewnum=55635"&gt;cette critique&lt;/a&gt; sur PR. Mais pour vous, rien que pour vous chères lectrices, j'ai réservé les photos qui révèlent les détails de construction du top, notamment la façon dont la boucle métallique est insérée dans l'épaule.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: justify;"&gt;Never did I sweat more on a blouse than on this one; the reason: my choice of fabric. I worked with a beautiful silk/lycra charmeuse by designer Phi, bought a while ago from Emmaonesock. It was thin, slippery, stretchy, you name it, and I struggled with details like the angled seams (front yoke, back yoke), the narrow rolled hems (sleeves, front ruffle), and when aligning the collar with the collar band and front band.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;However I'm in love with the lines and all the details of this blouse (which has no less than 15 pieces). Have I attained perfection with the fit? Not at all. The blouse has a slight tendency to ride towards the back, which suggests the back may need more length. I'll correct this when I make it again. &lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readreview.pl?readreview=1&amp;amp;reviewnum=55418"&gt;The PR review is here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Jamais n'ai-je sué sur un petit chemisier autant que sur celui-ci; la raison: mon choix de tissu. J'ai travaillé avec une magnifique charmeuse en soie/lycra du designer Phi, achetée il y a un moment chez Emmaonesock. La soie était fine, glissante, et s'étirait à cause du fort pourcentage de lycra (7%). J'en ai arraché avec les détails tels que les coutures en angle (empiècements devant/dos), l'ourlet roulotté (mancherons, volant du devant), ainsi qu'avec l'alignement du col avec la bande de col et la bande devant.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Toutefois j'adore les lignes et les détails de ce chemisier (qui comporte pas moins de 15 morceaux). Ai-je atteint la perfection avec l'ajustement? Pas du tout. Le chemisier a une petite tendance à glisser vers l'arrière, ce qui suggère que le dos a besoin de plus de longueur. Je corrigerai cela lors de ma prochaine version. &lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readreview.pl?readreview=1&amp;amp;reviewnum=55418"&gt;La critique PR (en anglais) se trouve ici.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I found this little marvel at &lt;a href="http://stragier.blogspot.com/search/label/Rubans%20et%20Galons"&gt;&lt;b&gt;La Maison Stragier&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (scroll down), located in Belgium. This is not your ordinary twill tape easily available in black, white or beige in fabric stores. No, that one is 100% polyester and stiff, while the one sold at Stragier is 100% cotton,&amp;nbsp; is SOFT and so much more SUPPLE. What a difference! Think of all the possible applications: use it to stabilize a shoulder seam (or any other kind of seam that needs reinforcement) without adding bulk, for sewing details such as a sleeve tab, or ties that close with a 'D' shaped ring.&amp;nbsp; Or as a decorative effect over a ruched or a gathered seam. And who doesn't like to have tape that matches the color of the garment? So pretty! Another good thing is that this twill tape is available in different widths (6-25mm ) as well as in many colors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: black; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Twill tape in color seems to be a rarity here in Canada (and maybe in the US too?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;, I've never seen it in all the sewing stores where I've shopped, neither in online stores such as MJ Trimming.

J'ai enfin un nouvel appareil photo digital digne de ce nom, et nous allons avoir du plaisir!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;J'étais comme une enfant récemment lorsque j'ai trouvé un nouvel item de mercerie (enfin, nouveau pour moi) dont j'avais entendu parler mais que je n'avais jamais vu de mes yeux vu: du ruban sergé en couleur! J'ai trouvé cette petite merveille chez &lt;a href="http://stragier.blogspot.com/search/label/Rubans%20et%20Galons"&gt;&lt;b&gt;La Maison Stragier&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (déroulez la page), située en Belgique. Ceci n'est pas votre ruban&amp;nbsp; sergé ordinaire disponible en noir, blanc ou beige dans les magasins de couture. Non, celui-là est 100% polyester et plutôt raide, alors que celui de chez Stragier est 100% coton, DOUX et SOUPLE. Toute une différence. Pensez à toutes les applications possibles: utilisez-le pour stabiliser des coutures d'épaules (ou tout autre type de couture qui demande à être renforcée) car il n'ajoute pas d'épaisseur ou de raideur à la couture, ou encore pour des détails de couture tels que des liens qui retiennent une manche roulée, ou des liens qui s'attachent avec une boucle en 'D'. Ou comme effet décoratif par-dessus une couture froncée. Et qui n'aime pas avoir un ruban qui s'harmonise à la teinte du vêtement? Vraiment joli! Une autre bonne chose est que ce ruban est disponible en plusieurs largeurs (6-25mm ) et une myriade de jolies couleurs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Le ruban sergé en couleur semble être une rareté ici au Canada (et peut-être aux É-U aussi?), en tout cas moi je n'en ai jamais vu dans les magasins de couture où je vais, ni dans les grandes boutiques en ligne telles que MJ Trimming. C'est pourquoi j'étais ravie lorsque j'en ai trouvé chez Stragier.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1573469766533844144-3257121886870880991?l=jazz-couture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/feeds/3257121886870880991/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2011/07/twill-tape-in-colorruban-serge-en.html#comment-form' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/3257121886870880991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/3257121886870880991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2011/07/twill-tape-in-colorruban-serge-en.html' title='Twill tape in color/Ruban sergé en couleur'/><author><name>Virginie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02823462969950141823</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/SylQP6wPDpI/AAAAAAAAAXA/teJYZjMlQ4Y/S220/Avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b89m4vTYmF0/TiMvhxOycOI/AAAAAAAAAsU/Naa5YmmYrjg/s72-c/IMG_0418.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573469766533844144.post-4984909194780652416</id><published>2010-05-08T13:40:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-07-17T17:40:13.735-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cocktail dress'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='robe cocktail'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Burda'/><title type='text'>A little blue dress/Une petite robe bleue</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;According to the May 2010 issue of Burda magazine, blue is one of the hottest colors of the season, especially electric blue, that they call &lt;i&gt;'klein blue'&lt;/i&gt; (see also March issue).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;I fell in love with a stretch sateen in this exact color when I saw it at Fabricville recently, and decided to make a second version of a Burda cocktail dress (November 2008, model #135) I had made last year. I knew this fabric would be limit for this dress, it is a bit too floppy and the presence of cotton in the fiber blend (polyester, cotton, lycra) makes it prone to wrinkle, but still I decided to go for it to participate in the Fabricville 40th anniversary contest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;I don't stand a ghost of a chance of winning anything given the outstanding quality of some of the garments presented, but now I have a cute little blue dress for under $20.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;Read the PR review &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readreview.pl?readreview=1&amp;amp;reviewnum=39596"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;Pictures by Jessy Bernier/Photos par Jessy Bernier&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

(voir aussi le numéro de Mars).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;

Je savais que ce tissu serait limite pour cette robe, étant un peu trop mou, et la présence du coton dans le mélange de fibres (polyester, coton, lycra) le rend enclin à friper facilement. J'ai décidé d'y aller quand même avec ma robe afin de participer au concours 40e anniversaire de Fabricville.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;Je n'ai aucune chance de gagner quoi que ce soit vu l'incroyable qualité de certains vêtements présentés, mais maintenant j'ai une jolie petite robe bleue qui m'a coûté moins de $20.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;Pour lire la critique sur Pattern Review, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readreview.pl?readreview=1&amp;amp;reviewnum=39596"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;cliquez ici&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1573469766533844144-4984909194780652416?l=jazz-couture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/feeds/4984909194780652416/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/05/blue-dressune-robe-bleue.html#comment-form' title='6 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/4984909194780652416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/4984909194780652416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/05/blue-dressune-robe-bleue.html' title='A little blue dress/Une petite robe bleue'/><author><name>Virginie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02823462969950141823</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/SylQP6wPDpI/AAAAAAAAAXA/teJYZjMlQ4Y/S220/Avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S-WdIs5OeHI/AAAAAAAAArM/g7rrsIidnUg/s72-c/_MG_4682+-+copie.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573469766533844144.post-4334153493009580459</id><published>2010-05-01T01:32:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-05-01T01:40:10.060-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Burda'/><title type='text'>A simple top/Un top tout simple</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;This Burda top (Burda magazine November 2008, pattern #113) is so very simple but sophisticated at the same time.

While I was buying a copy of &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Burda Style&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, I saw a copy of &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Elena Couture&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;; I was intrigued by this one and decided to get it as well. Then my mom, back from a trip to Italy and France, brought me the April issue of the italian &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;La Mia Boutique&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, and the April issue of the french &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ma Boutique&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;Ma Boutique&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;is a &lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;newly published magazine, which is in fact a french translation of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="background-color: white;"&gt;La Mia Boutique&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; but they are two months behind the italian edition. So, the April issue of &lt;i style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Ma Boutique&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt; being the February issue of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;La Mia Boutique&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt; which I already have, guess what? I'm going to give away my italian copy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;'cause I don't need two of the same!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt; If you want to enter the giveaway, just post below a comment saying you're interested; I will draw the name of the lucky person &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"&gt;next Monday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;.

text-align: center;"&gt;Et que dire de ce magnifique cardigan?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444;

Pendant que j'achetais ma copie de &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Burda Style&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, j'ai vu une copie de &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Elena Couture&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;; intriguée, j'ai décidé d'acheter celle-ci également. Puis ma maman, de retour de voyage d'Italie et de France, m'a rapporté le numéro d'avril de la revue italienne &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;La Mia Boutique&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, et le numéro d'avril de la revue française &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ma Boutique&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Ma Boutique&lt;/i&gt; est un magazine nouvellement publié, qui est en fait la traduction du magazine &lt;i&gt;La Mia Boutique&lt;/i&gt;, seulement ils sont deux mois en arrière sur l'édition italienne. Donc, le numéro d'avril de &lt;i&gt;Ma Boutique&lt;/i&gt; étant le numéro de février de &lt;i&gt;La Mia Boutique&lt;/i&gt; que j'ai déjà, devinez quoi? Je vais faire tirer ma copie italienne car je n'ai pas besoin de deux magazines semblables! Si vous voulez participer au tirage, vous n'avez qu'à publier ci-bas un commentaire mentionnant que vous êtes intéressée; je ferai tirer le nom de la personne chanceuse &lt;span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"&gt;lundi prochain&lt;/span&gt;. Notez cependant que ma copie italienne est un peu abîmée, mais les feuilles de patrons sont intactes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1573469766533844144-1951690229671097835?l=jazz-couture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/feeds/1951690229671097835/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-magazines-and-giveawaynouveaux.html#comment-form' title='23 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/1951690229671097835'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/1951690229671097835'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-magazines-and-giveawaynouveaux.html' title='New Magazines and a giveaway!/Nouveaux magazines et un tirage!'/><author><name>Virginie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02823462969950141823</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/SylQP6wPDpI/AAAAAAAAAXA/teJYZjMlQ4Y/S220/Avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S8PE9DbZrZI/AAAAAAAAAmU/DfDWBe8TTzA/s72-c/Burda+avril+10.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>23</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573469766533844144.post-8523855228040930291</id><published>2010-03-08T23:44:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-10T11:23:01.580-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='La Mia Boutique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rejet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jeans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wadder'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New Look'/><title type='text'>Finally, a success.../Finalement, un succès...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Why this title? Well, simply because I'm happy to scent the sweet smell of success for this&amp;nbsp; present project (a jean), after having sewn 3 wadders in a row. The 3 sewing disasters? The first one is a &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Look&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; blouse I made in the past in silk charmeuse; this time I used cotton poplin and the fit was just not the same. Sudddenly I had a bad diagonal wrinkle originating from the shoulder point and going to the bust apex. Impossible to save; direction: garbage. The second project was also a blouse, from the February issue of the italian sewing magazine &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;La Mia Boutique&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Again, the same bad wrinkle appears on the front. I fit myself and correct the pattern pieces, re-cut and re-sew the front, with the ruffle, the front band and all. The blouse doesn't meet my fit criterias and finds its way to the garbage. I'm starting to realize my shoulder slope is probably straighter than that of the average woman and that I'll have to find a solution to this fitting problem. The third project is a top copied from RTW that I've sewn many times. Stupidly, I washed my&amp;nbsp; fabric (a wool/lycra jersey) in the washing machine (don't you ever do that, ask me how I know)! Hello distortion! Once sewn, the shoulder seams form diagonal lines instead of straight lines, and side seams take a walk from the back to the front. Another wadder!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Since I don't have illimited time to spend on my favorite hobby, I'm a little desperate and I sincerely wish for a success. Finally, last night I complete a jeans copied from RTW and I'm happy with the results! I feel relieved and even my dear husband makes good comments on the jeans.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;See below my homemade pictures. I'll discuss later in the week the denim I used, thread, pockets, rivets and pattern pieces, since this blog entry would be too long to write in the two languages, and blogging takes time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Ciao everyone&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Virginie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XDzl81wRI/AAAAAAAAAhc/d3-Czwx0zHg/s1600-h/DSCF6466+-+BR.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XDzl81wRI/AAAAAAAAAhc/d3-Czwx0zHg/s640/DSCF6466+-+BR.JPG" width="347" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;It's spring; snow is melting in the streets and it's a beautiful day. Today I'm off and I'm dressed really casual.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;My new jeans have a classic bootcut and are made in dark stretch denim. They are copied from RTW italian jeans. I hemmed them long 'cause I plan to wear them with platform sandals when it will be warmer.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;C'est le printemps; la neige fond dans les rues et la journée est magnifique. Aujourd'hui je suis en congé et je suis habillée relax.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mes nouveaux jeans ont une coupe évasée classique (bootcut) et sont réalisés dans un merveilleux denim stretch foncé. Le patron est copié d'une paire de jeans italiens du prêt-à-porter. J'ai fait l'ourlet plutôt long car je prévois les porter avec des sandales plateforme durant la belle saison.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XD3tY5XYI/AAAAAAAAAhk/f05Ujv7ZgoU/s1600-h/DSCF6458+-+BR.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XD3tY5XYI/AAAAAAAAAhk/f05Ujv7ZgoU/s320/DSCF6458+-+BR.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Picture with the dog biting her leash. The jeans are low rise and have 5 pockets, including the coin pocket. You can see from the sides the slimming european cut (the back piece extends far on the front). There is a bit of a pooch that forms on the crotch after one day of wearing. I could correct that with a fisheye dart on the crotch piece, but honestly I don't care.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Photo avec le chien qui mange sa laisse. Le jeans est taille basse et comporte 5 poches, dont la poche pour la monnaie. On peut voir sur les côtés la coupe européenne amincissante (la pièce dos va loin vers le devant). Il y a une petite poche qui se forme sur le devant de la fourche après avoir porté le jeans une journée. Je pourrais toujours corriger cela sur la pièce de patron avec une pince, mais honnêtement ça ne me préoccupe pas tellement.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XD7-TO-qI/AAAAAAAAAhs/58w6DC0NL-g/s1600-h/DSCF6459+-+BR.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XD7-TO-qI/AAAAAAAAAhs/58w6DC0NL-g/s320/DSCF6459+-+BR.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Topstitching detail/Détail de surpiqûre&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XPsGFp16I/AAAAAAAAAik/XceRMrkxVTo/s1600-h/_MG_2745.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XPsGFp16I/AAAAAAAAAik/XceRMrkxVTo/s640/_MG_2745.jpg" width="363" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;The original jeans, that I loved and wore to death! They are 100% cotton. Note how the back extends far on the front. (And see that little pooch on the crotch?) /&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Le jeans original, que j'aimé et porté jusqu'à la mort! Il est 100% coton.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;Notez comme le dos vient loin vers l'avant. (Et vous voyez cette petite poche qui se forme sur la fourche?)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XEAjK8XNI/AAAAAAAAAh0/saHbsrTJYr0/s1600-h/DSCF6463+-+BR+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XEAjK8XNI/AAAAAAAAAh0/saHbsrTJYr0/s640/DSCF6463+-+BR+1.JPG" width="254" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Back view/Vue de dos&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XHGw1SzLI/AAAAAAAAAic/1N9DxdmMxe8/s1600-h/_MG_2700.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XHGw1SzLI/AAAAAAAAAic/1N9DxdmMxe8/s640/_MG_2700.jpg" width="355" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;The same jeans, made from stretch cotton velvet. I previously made those as part of the wardrobe contest on Pattern Review in November, and I've reviewed them &lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readreview.pl?readreview=1&amp;amp;reviewnum=44944"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. I reduced the flare on these ones after my charming daughter had commented they really had 'elephant legs'!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Le même jeans, réalisé en velours de coton stretch. J'ai fait cette paire dans le cadre du concours de la garde-robe du site Pattern Review en novembre dernier, et &lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readreview.pl?readreview=1&amp;amp;reviewnum=44944"&gt;la critique se trouve ici&lt;/a&gt;. J'avais réduit l'ampleur du bas de la jambe après que ma charmante fille ait commenté que le jeans avait 'vraiment des pattes d'éléphant'!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XGFdiMkYI/AAAAAAAAAiE/yeM-NgmSz50/s1600-h/_MG_2662.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XGFdiMkYI/AAAAAAAAAiE/yeM-NgmSz50/s640/_MG_2662.jpg" width="361" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Side view of the cotton velvet pair/Vue de côté de la paire en velours de coton&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XF8Cg5NdI/AAAAAAAAAh8/ieGMLBIOx64/s1600-h/_MG_2850.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XF8Cg5NdI/AAAAAAAAAh8/ieGMLBIOx64/s640/_MG_2850.jpg" width="331" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Back view/Vue de dos&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Pourquoi ce titre? Eh bien tout simplement parce que je suis heureuse d'avoir enfin réussi mon dernier projet, un jeans, après avoir cousu pas moins de 3 'rejets' en ligne. Les 3 désastres de couture en question? Le premier, un chemisier &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Look&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; que j'avais déjà fait en soie charmeuse dans le passé, et que j'ai réalisé en popeline de coton cette fois-ci. L'ajustement n'est pas du tout pareil avec le coton, et soudainement, j'ai un vilain pli en diagonale qui part de l'épaule et qui va jusqu'à l'apex du buste. Pas moyen de le récupérer; direction: poubelle. Le deuxième projet, encore un chemisier, de l'édition de février de la revue italienne &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;La Mia Boutique&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Encore le même pli désastreux originant de la pointe de l'épaule. Ajustement (par moi-même) sur les pièces de patron, re-coupe et re-couture du devant, avec le volant, les bandes de devant et tout et tout. Le chemisier ne rencontre pas mes critères élevés d'ajustement et trouve lui aussi la direction de la poubelle. Je me rends compte que j'ai les épaules plus carrées que la moyenne des ourses et que je vais devoir solutionner ce problème d'ajustement. Le troisième projet est un top copié du prêt-à-porter que j'ai fait maintes et maintes fois. Seulement, j'ai stupidement lavé mon&amp;nbsp; tissu (un jersey de laine et lycra) à la machine (à ne jamais faire, j'ai payé pour l'apprendre)! Bonjour la distorsion! Une fois cousu, les coutures d'épaules forment une diagonale au lieu d'une ligne droite, et la couture de côté se promène de l'arrière vers le devant. Encore un projet-poubelle!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Comme je n'ai pas des heures illimitées à consacrer à mon hobby favori, je suis un peu découragée et j'ai hâte de renouer avec le succès. Enfin, je termine hier soir un jeans copié du prêt-à-porter et je suis très contente du résultat. Je me sens soulagée et même mon chum fait des bons commentaires sur le jeans.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Voir ci-haut mes photos assez 'homemade'. Je reparlerai dans les prochains jours du denim utilisé, du fil, des poches, des rivets et des pièces de patron, sinon cette entrée blog serait beaucoup trop longue à rédiger dans les 2 langues, et bloguer prend quand même un certain temps.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Ciao&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Virginie&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1573469766533844144-8523855228040930291?l=jazz-couture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/feeds/8523855228040930291/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/03/finally-successfinalement-un-succes.html#comment-form' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/8523855228040930291'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/8523855228040930291'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/03/finally-successfinalement-un-succes.html' title='Finally, a success.../Finalement, un succès...'/><author><name>Virginie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02823462969950141823</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/SylQP6wPDpI/AAAAAAAAAXA/teJYZjMlQ4Y/S220/Avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5XDzl81wRI/AAAAAAAAAhc/d3-Czwx0zHg/s72-c/DSCF6466+-+BR.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573469766533844144.post-2721721172140897258</id><published>2010-03-08T10:54:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-08T10:59:44.538-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marfy'/><title type='text'>New Marfy's... again!/Nouveaux Marfy... encore!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi everyone,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;I've been constantly watching &lt;a href="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/spring-summer-2010-pages-1221.php"&gt;Vogue's&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://butterick.mccall.com/spring-summer-2010-pages-1220.php"&gt;Butterick's&lt;/a&gt; websites in the last 2 weeks in the hope of seeing the new Marfy Spring/Summer 2010 patterns, and here they are!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;I might be tempted to order some of their cute dresses or tops.

J'adore la façon dont les patrons Marfy sont coupés à la main (sans valeurs de couture ajoutées) et dont ils arrivent à vous, soigneusement pliés. L'attention aux détails ainsi qu'une coupe et un ajustement supérieurs peuvent être espérés de la part de Marfy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Mes choix apparaissent ci-haut.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1573469766533844144-2721721172140897258?l=jazz-couture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/feeds/2721721172140897258/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/03/new-marfys-againnouveaux-marfy-encore.html#comment-form' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/2721721172140897258'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/2721721172140897258'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/03/new-marfys-againnouveaux-marfy-encore.html' title='New Marfy&apos;s... again!/Nouveaux Marfy... encore!'/><author><name>Virginie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02823462969950141823</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/SylQP6wPDpI/AAAAAAAAAXA/teJYZjMlQ4Y/S220/Avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S5UXj9r310I/AAAAAAAAAhU/bM_UhzLPOvM/s72-c/F2324.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573469766533844144.post-2238170620555394362</id><published>2010-02-13T11:52:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-13T11:57:29.158-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marfy'/><title type='text'>New Marfy's!/Nouveaux Marfy!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;A rare pleasure that occurs only twice a year: the new spring/summer 2010 Marfy patterns are up on the italian website (see sidebar for link).

Je n'arrive pas à croire que j'ai cousu cette chose en 2 jours (à part la toile d'essayage et la coupe)! Me voici donc chantant pour un événement corporatif très classe avec un mini big band (merci les gars!), dans ma robe vintage; le look est complet avec les gants noirs, le chignon et les boucles d'oreilles en cristal. Une petite recherche m'a permis de constater qu'un maquillage de soirée typique des années '50 serait un teint très doux, des sourcils bien définis, du eyeliner (bien sûr),&amp;nbsp;peu ou pas d'ombre à paupières, un fard à joues très soft et un rouge à lèvres très rouge. J'ai utilisé les produits &lt;b&gt;Bobbi Brown&lt;/b&gt; pour le teint, et mes produits &lt;b&gt;MAC&lt;/b&gt; adorés pour le maquillage: ombres à paupières '&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;Shroom'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;et&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;'Twinks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;', ombre à paupières &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;'Shadowy Lady'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt; utilisée comme eyeliner, fard à joues&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;'Blushbaby'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;, gloss&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;'Russian Red'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;et crayon&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;'Cherry'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;Tissu utilisé: Peau de soie (100% soie, poids 58 momme) - 5 mètres en 90 cm de large - il en reste un peu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;Le corsage est doublé de même tissu, sauf les bonnets (j'ai utilisé de la rayonne Bemberg que j'avais en main pour cela)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mercerie (ciel, je couds tellement en anglais que je n'arrivais plus à me souvenir du terme!): fil de soie, fermeture éclair invisible, baleines... et c'est tout!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;Cette 'gig' a été super le fun, particulièrement la 2e partie où des danseurs de swing professionnels dansaient au son de notre musique!

The (vintage) size 14 (34-26-36) is pretty much like me, except that my waist is 27. I am surprisingly pleased with the fit of the muslin, it is not far from the truth (if such an expression exists in english!). Maybe a little snug at the waist, I'll probably have to give more ease in this area. The back is roughly pinned; it is not as smooth as it will be with the zipper. I will fine tune the fit in this area although it's hard to tell right now how the peau de soie will behave, and there also will be 2 layers of fabric (the bodice is lined with self fabric). The front is a bit too large under the bust drape (note the slight poofiness) and I'll&amp;nbsp; have to take in at the darts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;I had ordered some stretch dutchess silk satin from &lt;b&gt;NY Center Fashion Fabrics&lt;/b&gt; about 2 weeks ago. Usually they ship in 24 hrs, but I received an email this Monday saying they were back order and they didn't know when they would receive their new stock. Although this could have been nerve racking (keep in mind the corporate event I need this dress for is THIS Saturday), I didn't panic. I think I like to live dangerously and solve problems! My B plan was to find some silk fabric in Montreal and have it shipped to Québec on the same day.&amp;nbsp; (I couldn't find 100% silk peau de soie in Québec aside from white or ivory). Luckily, &lt;b&gt;Madeleine Soie et Laine&lt;/b&gt; in Montréal had just what I needed:&amp;nbsp; real black peau de soie (98 cm or 39'', 58 momme in weight) and my super dad shipped it to me by bus. I even had a C plan in case the B plan didn't work: sew the dress in some poly peau de soie, or buy doupioni silk. But, poly is just not the same; doupioni could have worked for this dress but the dress would have been longer to make (the skirt part would have been lined instead of just the bodice part since this silk is thin). I think the black peau de soie I found will be perfect for this dress; it has a heavy but supple drape and is not too shiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;OK, now back to sewing: the next few days are entirely devoted to this dress!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Virginie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S04NFwD7zeI/AAAAAAAAAeM/ONrN9J7PAu0/s1600-h/DSCF6266.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S04NFwD7zeI/AAAAAAAAAeM/ONrN9J7PAu0/s640/DSCF6266.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;Front of muslin - the length is perfect, but this is a raw hem; I'll have to add 5/8'' to turn a small hem/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;Devant de la toile d'essayage - la longueur est parfaite, mais ceci est un ourlet à vif; je devrai ajouter 5/8'' pour tourner un petit ourlet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S04NJNRp_UI/AAAAAAAAAeU/C7YOE4zMGu4/s1600-h/DSCF6267.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S04NJNRp_UI/AAAAAAAAAeU/C7YOE4zMGu4/s640/DSCF6267.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;Back of the muslin; I think it collapses a little bit since this is a single layer and it has no boning/&lt;br /&gt;Dos de la toile d'essayage; je crois qu'il tombe un peu car il est en épaisseur simple et n'a pas encore de baleines&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Voici la toile d'essayage pour la robe du soir de 1956 (patron Eva Dress) que j'ai réalisée la semaine dernière. La taille (vintage) 14 (34-26-36) est pas mal comme moi , sauf que ma taille est 27. Je suis agréablement surprise par l'ajustement, on est pas loin de la vérité! Peut-être un peu juste à la taille, je devrai peut-être donner un peu d'aisance dans cette zone. Le dos est sommairement épinglé; il n'est pas aussi lisse qu'il sera avec une fermeture éclair. Je devrai probablement faire des petites retouches dans cette région, quoique c'est un peu dur à dire maintenant comment la peau de soie réagira et en plus il y en aura 2 épaisseurs (le corsage est doublé de même tissu). Le devant est légèrement trop grand sous le drapé du buste (notez que ça poche un peu) et je devrai probablement resserrer les pinces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;J'avais commandé pour cette robe de la soie duchesse stretch chez &lt;b&gt;NY Center Fashion Fabrics&lt;/b&gt; il y a 2 semaines. Habituellement ils font l'envoi en 24 heures, mais j'ai reçu un courriel lundi me disant qu'ils étaient en rupture de stock et qu'ils ne savaient pas quand ils recevraient mon tissu. Bien que ça aurait pu être drôlement énervant (ayez en tête que j'ai besoin de cette robe pour un événement corporatif CE samedi), je n'ai pas paniqué. Je crois que j'aime vivre dangereusement et solutionner des problèmes! Mon plan B était de trouver de la soie à Montréal (je n'ai pas pu trouver de peau de soie 100% soie à Québec à part en blanc ou en ivoire) et me le faire livrer à Québec la même journée. Heureusement, &lt;b&gt;Madeleine Soie et Laine&lt;/b&gt; à Montréal avait exactement ce qu'il me fallait: de la vraie peau de soie en noir (98 cm ou 39'', poids 58 momme) et mon super papa me l'a envoyée par autobus. J'avais même un plan C au cas où le plan B ne marche pas: coudre la robe en peau de soie de polyester, ou acheter de la soie doupioni. Mais le polyester ce n'est vraiment pas la même chose; la soie doupioni aurait pu fonctionner mais la robe aurait été plus longue à confectionner; j'aurais dû doubler la jupe et non seulement le corsage car cette soie est mince. La peau de soie noire que j'ai trouvée me semble parfaite pour cette robe; elle a un tombé lourd mais souple et n'est pas trop brillante.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Bon, allez, de retour à ma couture.

On page 52, the article entitled &lt;i&gt;Fabric shopping on the internet&lt;/i&gt; discusses the how to's of online fabric shopping, if you're not already familiar with that. There is also an extensive list of fabric websites to keep for reference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Writing for &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Threads&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; has been such an interesting and enjoyable experience! I had the idea for this article after seeing numerous times, on sewing message boards, people who seemed to have no clue on how to shop for fabric on the internet. After all, I can understand it might be intimidating at first to buy fabric when you cannot see it and feel it 'in person'. Also, many people&amp;nbsp; simply don't have a brick and mortar fabric store in their area, and unless they're willing to drive a couple of hours to shop, the internet is the only other alternative. Why not make this experience fun and rewarding? After having spent so much money on fabric purchases from all around the world, I decided I could help others with that! ;-)&amp;nbsp; O.k, kidding apart, in the past, as a student, I worked part time in a high end fabric store. That's where I acquired my knowledge about fabrics and learned to distinguish quality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Fabric websites are now numerous and fabric choices are almost unlimited; whatever your sewing project is, you're pretty much sure to find what you're looking for on the internet. The web has opened a whole new world of possibilities for the home sewer like us. Armed with a little knowledge about fabric and fabric webstores, you are sure to make your e-shopping fun, convenient and to get what you really want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Aside from my article, you'll find in this issue of &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Threads&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; a super interesting article on &lt;b&gt;Madeleine Vionnet&lt;/b&gt;, the french designer from the 1920's-1930's. I've always been fascinated with her bias dresses. I've heard that no one after her ever mastered bias techniques to the level that she did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Go get yourself this issue of &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Threads&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; and enjoy! Happy reading!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Virginie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S0jmuAYjIGI/AAAAAAAAAd8/SC7tiKEkd9U/s1600-h/couverture+Threads.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S0jmuAYjIGI/AAAAAAAAAd8/SC7tiKEkd9U/s320/couverture+Threads.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Threads magazine, February-March 2010, #147/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Le numéro de Threads de février-mars 2010, #147&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S0jm6b93LEI/AAAAAAAAAeE/vTTpgtllJHQ/s1600-h/1ere+page+article.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S0jm6b93LEI/AAAAAAAAAeE/vTTpgtllJHQ/s320/1ere+page+article.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;My article, on page 52/Mon article à la page 52&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour tout le monde,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai le plaisir d'annoncer que j'ai signé un article sur le shopping de tissu sur internet dans le numéro courant de la revue &lt;a href="http://www.threadsmagazine.com/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Threads&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (février-mars 2010, #147). À la page 52, l'article intitulé &lt;i&gt;Fabric shopping on the internet&lt;/i&gt; donne quelques conseils sur la façon de s'y prendre pour magasiner du tissu sur internet, si vous nêtes pas déjà familière avec cela. Il y a aussi à la fin de l'article une liste de magasins sur le web à conserver pour référence future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Écrire pour &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Threads&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; a été une expérience très intéressante. J'ai eu l'idée de cet article après avoir constaté à de nombreuses reprises sur les forums de discussions&amp;nbsp; de couture que de nombreuses personnes n'ont aucune idée de la façon de s'y prendre pour acheter du tissu sur internet.&amp;nbsp; Après tout, il est vrai que ça peut sembler un peu étrange au début d'acheter du tissu sans pouvoir le voir ni le toucher. Également, plusieurs personnes vivent dans des régions où il n'y a tout simplement pas de magasins et, à moins d'avoir envie de conduire quelques heures pour magasiner, faire son shopping sur internet est la seule autre alternative. Pourquoi ne pas faire de cette expérience quelquechose d'amusant et de gratifiant? Après avoir tellement dépensé ces dernières années en achetant du tissu de partout à travers le monde, j'ai décidé que je pouvais aider les autres en ce sens! ;-) Blague à part, dans le passé, lorsque j'étais étudiante, j'ai travaillé dans un magasin de tissus haut de gamme; c'est là que j'ai appris à connaître les tissus et à reconnaître la qualité.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les magasins de tissu sur internet sont maintenant nombreux et l'offre de tissus, pratiquement illimitée; quel que soit votre projet de couture, vous êtes à peu près certaine de trouver ce que vous cherchez. Le web a ouvert un monde nouveau en termes de possibilités pour les filles comme nous qui faisons de la couture. Armée d'un peu de connaissances, vous êtes certaine de faire de votre &lt;i&gt;e-shopping&lt;/i&gt; une expérience amusante, pratique, et d'être en plein dans le mille pour ce dont vous avez besoin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;À part mon article, vous trouverez dans ce numéro de &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Threads &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;un article super intéressant sur &lt;b&gt;Madeleine Vionnet&lt;/b&gt;, la designer française des années 1920-1930. J'ai toujours été fascinée par ses robes sur le biais. J'ai entendu ou lu à quelquepart que personne après elle n'avait maîtrisé à un tel niveau les techniques du biais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faites-vous plaisir, et procurez-vous ce numéro de &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Threads&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;! Bonne lecture!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virginie &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1573469766533844144-268740336231402259?l=jazz-couture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/feeds/268740336231402259/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/01/your-contributor-to-threads.html#comment-form' title='8 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/268740336231402259'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/268740336231402259'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/01/your-contributor-to-threads.html' title='Your contributor to Threads magazine/Votre collaboratrice à la revue Threads'/><author><name>Virginie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02823462969950141823</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/SylQP6wPDpI/AAAAAAAAAXA/teJYZjMlQ4Y/S220/Avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S0jmuAYjIGI/AAAAAAAAAd8/SC7tiKEkd9U/s72-c/couverture+Threads.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573469766533844144.post-6943097574278761375</id><published>2010-01-08T01:04:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-08T01:07:40.667-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer 201'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='15-91'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer 99K'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Juki HZL-F600'/><title type='text'>Two new babies/Deux nouveaux bébés</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;No, no, don't panic, I did not deliver twins! :-) My new babies are 2 machines that joined my sewing machines family recently. They come from very different eras: one is a 1954 Singer 99K, the other is a modern, computerized Juki HZL-F600.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Frequenting Pattern Review has made me caught the sewing machine bug: I can't believe I actually acquired 4 machines since I've joined PR in 2007! I find sewing machines fascinating and interesting. I love reading on that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;I'm all excited with my new Juki. This is a machine that makes me want to wake up early and sew; I want to choose projects in which I don't have to use the serger, to spend more time with my Juki! All the frustrations I had with my 1984 Singer 1425N are gone. The feed is fantastic, strong and even. The straight stitch is beautiful. It performs many buttonholes styles, including the keyhole and the eyelet. It can sew fast, it can sew slow, it is precise. It makes great bobbins that hold lots of thread, with no fussing. And it is q-u-i-e-t. I can sew late at night without thinking my neighbors are going to hate me, and DH (dear husband) and DD (dear daughter) no more complain they can't listen to TV!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;The other baby looks just like a baby! The Singer 99K is a 3/4 version of the model 66. I bought this cute little machine for $40. All it does is a straight stitch (oh, and it can sew backwards too!) but it's a great one. I love the sound of it and the feeling of the mechanic. I used it until the belt broke (I knew it would one day since it was completely worn out); now I have to take it to the technician to have it repaired and fully serviced. I like to set up the 99K as a member of my sewing machines team to do assembling stitching or topstitching.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;I never thought I'd be the kind of girl who would own many different machines. At first when I saw how many machines some people own on PR, I was perplexed; but, I love having the ones I have. They're all made to do different jobs, and they do it well. With the addition of the Juki to my collection I pretty much feel the family is complete, although if I see a Singer 201 or 15-91 passing my way... I may very well welcome them! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: white;

font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Non, non, ne vous inquiétez pas, je n'ai pas accouché de jumeaux! :-) Mes nouveaux bébés sont 2 machines qui ont joint ma famille de machines à coudre récemment. Elles proviennent de deux époques bien différentes: l'une est une Singer 99K de 1954, l'autre est une moderne Juki HZL-F600 électronique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Fréquenter Pattern Review m'a donné la piqûre des machines à coudre. Je n'arrive pas à croire que&amp;nbsp; j'en ai acheté 4 depuis que je me suis inscrite au site en 2007! Je trouve&amp;nbsp; les machines à coudre fascinantes et intéressantes. J'adore lire sur le sujet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je suis tout excitée avec ma nouvelle Juki. C'est le genre de machine qui me donne le goût de me lever tôt pour coudre; j'ai envie de choisir des projets pour lesquels je n'aurai pas à utiliser la surjeteuse, pour passer plus de temps sur ma Juki! Toutes les frustrations que j'avais avec ma vieille Singer 1425N de 1984 sont envolées. L'entraînement est fantastique, fort et égal. Le point droit est super. La machine fait toutes sortes de boutonnières, dont la &lt;i&gt;'keyhole'&lt;/i&gt; et l'oeillet. Elle peut coudre vite, lentement, et elle est super précise. Elle fait de très belles cannettes qui contiennent beaucoup de fil, sans rechigner. Et elle est s-i-l-e-n-c-i-e-u-s-e. Je peux coudre tard le soir sans avoir peur d'emmerder les voisins. Mon chéri et ma chère fille ne se plaignent plus qu'ils ne peuvent pas entendre la télé!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;L'autre bébé a vraiment l'air d'un bébé! La Singer 99K est une version 3/4 du modèle 66. J'ai acheté cette jolie petite machine pour $40. Elle ne fait que le point droit (oh, elle coud à reculons aussi!), mais il est super. J'aime son son et le 'feeling' de sa mécanique. Je m'en suis servie jusqu'à ce que la courroie brise (je savais qu'elle briserait un jour ou l'autre car elle était finie); je dois mainenant l'amener réparer et la faire ajuster au complet. J'aime me servir de la 99K comme un membre de mon équipe de machines à coudre pour faire du point droit (assemblage) ou des surpiqûres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Je n'aurais jamais cru être le genre de fille qui possède plusieurs machines à coudre (au début quand je voyais combien de machines certaines personnes possédaient, sur PR, j'écarquillais les yeux), mais en fait j'aime avoir celles que j'ai.

One is 1956 evening gown + its coat, the other is a set of 1940's halter tops. This is my first order with Eva Dress and I'm really excited.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;My plan is to make the evening gown for a big corporate event I sing for in 10 days or so. The evening theme is the 50's and I'll be singing crooner songs with a mini big band. I ordered some duchess silk satin from NY Center Fashion Fabrics to make the gown. I chose black as it is classic and I'll be able to wear the dress for other 'non-50's' occasions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;I'll try to keep you posted on my progresses as I sew.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

(voyez le lien dans la barre de navigation du côté), un site de patrons vintage. L'un est une robe de soirée de 1956 avec le manteau assorti, l'autre est un assortiment de hauts des années 40. C'est ma première commande chez Eva Dress et je suis emballée!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;J'ai l'intention de réaliser la robe de soirée pour un événement corporatif pour lequel je chante dans une dizaine de jours. Le thème de la soirée est les années '50 et je chanterai des pièces de style crooner avec un mini big band. J'ai commandé de la soie duchesse de chez NY Center Fashion Fabrics pour faire la robe. J'ai choisi du noir puisque c'est classique et je pourrai reporter la robe pour d'autres occasions 'non-années '50'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;J'essaierai de vous faire suivre mes progrès au fur et à mesure que j'avance dans ma couture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1573469766533844144-249297397180611725?l=jazz-couture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/feeds/249297397180611725/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/01/look-at-what-was-in-mail-todayvoyez-ce.html#comment-form' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/249297397180611725'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/249297397180611725'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/01/look-at-what-was-in-mail-todayvoyez-ce.html' title='Look at what was in the mail today!/Voyez ce qui était dans la poste ce matin!'/><author><name>Virginie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02823462969950141823</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/SylQP6wPDpI/AAAAAAAAAXA/teJYZjMlQ4Y/S220/Avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S0Tk6gUOFmI/AAAAAAAAAbI/8OLwbWEDE10/s72-c/DSCF6241.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573469766533844144.post-5273932016159523969</id><published>2010-01-04T13:36:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-05T00:47:40.052-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Wardrobe contest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pattern Review'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='concours garde-robe'/><title type='text'>I won 2nd prize in the Wardrobe Contest!/J'ai gagné le 2e prix du concours de la garde-robe!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=1573469766533844144&amp;amp;postID=5273932016159523969" title="Read more about this contest" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.patternreview.com/siteimages/contest/2009/image_large_wardrobe.jpg" alt="Wardrobe Contest Large" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:'trebuchet ms',serif;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;The wardrobe contest on &lt;i&gt;Pattern Review&lt;/i&gt; has ended about a month ago, and I won 2nd prize! The results were known shortly after the contest, but &lt;b&gt;Deepika&lt;/b&gt;, the founder of &lt;i&gt;Pattern Review&lt;/i&gt;, has made the official announcement a couple of days ago. Participating in this contest was a personal challenge; I wanted to see if I'd be able to stick to a plan and create a fully functional and coordinated 10 pieces wardrobe in 2 1/2 months. Looks like yes! This was a super intense contest for me as I work full time, and I often found myself sewing 'til 1 am. I wanted most of all to be able to finish to have a sense of accomplishment. I had some trouble with the creation of the composite picture, as this was my 1st time doing it and I was a bit short on time. I think I could have done better to illustrate my wardrobe through the final picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many outstanding wardrobes were created during this contest. &lt;b&gt;Barbara V&lt;/b&gt;, the winner of the 1st prize, has done an amazing job. She's a woman of great taste and elegance. You can see for yourself the &lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/ContestGallery.pl?ContestID=103"&gt;contest gallery here&lt;/a&gt;, and I sum up my personal experience on &lt;a href="http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2009/12/pr-wardrobe-contest-looking.html"&gt;this blog entry&lt;/a&gt; if you haven't seen it yet.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;Happy New Year everyone,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;Virginie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Le concours de la garde-robe de &lt;i&gt;Pattern Review &lt;/i&gt;s'est terminé il y a environ 1 mois, et j'ai gagné le 2e prix! Les résultats ont été connus peu après le concours, mais &lt;b&gt;Deepika&lt;/b&gt;, la fondatrice de &lt;i&gt;Pattern Review&lt;/i&gt;, a fait l'annonce officielle des résultats il y a quelques jours. Participer à ce concours était un défi personnel que je m'étais lancé; je voulais voir si je serais capable de suivre un plan et de créer une garde-robe de 10 morceaux parfaitement fonctionnelle et coordonnée. Il semble que oui! Ce concours fut super intense pour moi puisque je travaille à temps plein, et j'ai souvent cousu jusqu'à 1 heure du matin! Je voulais par-dessus tout réussir à finir afin d'avoir le sens du devoir accompli.  J'ai éprouvé quelques difficultés avec la photo composite de ma garde-robe car c'était la première fois que j'avais à en créer une et j'ai manqué un peu de temps. Je pense que j'aurais pu faire mieux pour illustrer ma garde-robe à travers cette photo finale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plusieurs garde-robes fantastiques ont été créées durant ce concours. &lt;b&gt;Barbara V&lt;/b&gt;, la gagnante du 1er prix, a fait un travail extraordinaire. C'est une femme de goût et d'une grande élégance. Voyez par vous-même la &lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/ContestGallery.pl?ContestID=103"&gt;galerie du concours ici&lt;/a&gt;, et je résume mon expérience personnelle dans &lt;a href="http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2009/12/pr-wardrobe-contest-looking.html"&gt;cette entrée blog&lt;/a&gt; si vous ne l'avez déjà vue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:'trebuchet ms',serif;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:'trebuchet ms',serif;" &gt;Bonne Année tout le monde,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:'trebuchet ms',serif;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:'trebuchet ms',serif;" &gt;Virginie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1573469766533844144-5273932016159523969?l=jazz-couture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/feeds/5273932016159523969/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-won-2nd-prize-in-wardrobe-contestjai.html#comment-form' title='5 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/5273932016159523969'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/5273932016159523969'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-won-2nd-prize-in-wardrobe-contestjai.html' title='I won 2nd prize in the Wardrobe Contest!/J&apos;ai gagné le 2e prix du concours de la garde-robe!'/><author><name>Virginie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02823462969950141823</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/SylQP6wPDpI/AAAAAAAAAXA/teJYZjMlQ4Y/S220/Avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573469766533844144.post-6601893452661003154</id><published>2009-12-18T17:33:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-06T17:28:16.641-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Wardrobe contest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='La Mia Boutique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='concours garde-robe'/><title type='text'>La Mia Boutique tunic/tunique 09-2008-8</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/S0IZEVQgE9I/AAAAAAAAAbA/a14ojc50AHI/s1600-h/_MG_2822+-+br.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;During the Wardrobe Contest on Pattern Review (Sept-Nov 09), I sewed a tunic from a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;La Mia Boutique&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt; pattern (09-2008-8). I made two different versions; one is in a printed viscose knit from the italian house &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;Etro&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;, the other is in a magnificent fuschia silk jersey. The pattern recommends moderate stretch knits such as lightweight wool jersey. I think 2 way stretch knits work well for this design.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;My first version caused me some headaches 'cause I followed the instructions that recommend assembling the underbust band (actually 2 bands: the upper layer is shirred, the underlayer that serves as a foundation is not) in the round, and to sandwich the upper bodice between the two bands, still sewing in the round. Problem here: even if I had previously made a muslin, the underbust band proved itself to be too big. I had to rip out the whole thing a couple of times until I got an ok fit  (just ok, not perfect). I was so tired on working on the underbust band that I eventually decide to forget about the shirred one 'cause I was late in my sewing schedule. For tunic #2 (the fuschia one) I changed my assembling technique and closed the tunic on the sides, making fitting adjustments much more easier that way - just have to sew a little larger seam on the sides to adjust to my taste. Please note however that I had previously taken off 1 inch on the sides of the underbust bands, on the front and the back (4 inches total). I had to stretch the bands a bit to make them adjust to the lower bodice pieces, which was a good thing 'cause the tunic follows the curve of the back and the underbust and the lower bodice then falls in a pleasant way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;This tunic has a lot of interesting details, aside this cute underbust band:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;- the bow at the neck, of course&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;- the cut of the sleeve&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;- the ties at the wrist coming out from the buttonholes performed at the sleeve hem&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;- the curved hem (this is a modification of my own as it softens the rectangle shape of the tunic - the high neck and the absence of an open neckline creates a rectangle).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;The front opening under the bow is quite revealing; I wear the tunic with a cami for I don't feel too exposed. I recommend sewing a hook 'n eye at the top of the opening, under the bow, to avoid any gaping.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;I'd never thought I would wear things with a bow at the neck, I don't know why but I was drawned to this pattern. Actually I think it is very well drafted and super stylish.

(09-2008-8). J'en ai réalisé deux versions différentes, la première dans un tricot de viscose imprimée provenant de la maison italienne &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Etro&lt;/span&gt;, la seconde dans un magnifique jersey de soie fuschia. Le patron recommande des tissus modérément extensibles, tels que du jersey de laine léger. Je pense que des tricots avec extensibilité dans un sens fonctionnent bien pour ce modèle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;La première version m'a causé bien des maux de tête car j'ai suivi les instructions qui conseillent d'assembler la bande du dessous du buste (en fait 2 bandes: l'une est froncée, celle du dessous qui la soutient ne l'est pas) en rond, et de prendre l'empiècement du haut en sandwich entre les 2 bandes, toujours en cousant en rond. Problème, problème, même si j'avais réalisé une toile d'essayage de la tunique la bande s'est révélée trop grande. J'ai dû tout découdre plusieurs fois et recommencer jusqu'à ce que l'ajustement en dessous du buste soit potable (potable et non parfait). J'en ai eu tellement assez à un moment que j'ai laissé tomber la bande froncée pour cette tunique car le temps me manquait dans mon échéancier de concours. Pour la tunique #2 (celle en soie fuschia), j'ai changé ma technique et ai fermé la tunique par les côtés, rendant l'ajustement beaucoup moins compliqué - juste besoin de prendre une couture de côté un peu plus large pour ajuster à mon goût. Notez toutefois qu'au préalable j'ai tout de même réduit les bandes de 1 pouce sur les côtés, devant et derrière (4 pouces total). J'ai donc dû étirer un peu les bandes pour les faire s'ajuster aux empiècements du bas, ce qui en fait était une bonne chose car les empiècements épousent mieux la courbe du dos et le dessous du buste puis tombent avec une belle ampleur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;La tunique comporte plusieurs jolis détails, outre cette bande froncée sous le buste:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;- les liens à nouer en lavallière au cou, bien sûr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;- la coupe de la manche&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;- les liens qui resserrent le poignet qui sortent de 2 boutonnières pratiquées à l'ourlet de la manche&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;- l'ourlet arrondi (cette modification est de moi puisque il adoucit la forme rectangulaire de la tunique - avec l'encolure montante et l'absence de décolleté, cela crée un rectangle)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;L'ouverture du devant est assez révélatrice; personnellement je porte la tunique avec une camisole pour ne pas me sentir trop 'exposée'. Je recommande la pose d'une agrafe au haut de l'ouverture, sous le noeud, pour éviter que cette ouverture ne bâille.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;Je n'aurais jamais cru me voir porter des trucs à noeud au cou, mais je ne sais pas pourquoi je me suis prise d'affection pour ce modèle. En fait je trouve qu'il est très bien coupé et plein de style.

I learned to sew with a plan, to make choices in terms of fabrics and patterns and stick to them, I sewed jeans (I was afraid to sew jeans as I apprehended fitting problems), and I sewed a whole bunch of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;La Mia Boutique&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt; patterns (I wanted to do this for a long time)! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;But, this sewing experience was very intense. I've never sewn so intensively and constantly; this contest requires endurance! I found that the most difficult part is not the sewing itself, but the fitting (opinion shared by most of the participants in the contest). If you ever feel the desire to embark on such a contest, here is my advice:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;- choose some TNT (tested and trued, or tried and tested) patterns in your plan, 'cause the fitting of new patterns can reserve some surprises&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;- don't hesitate to do the same pattern twice in your collection, with different fabrics&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;- have a B plan in case of a garment doesn't work &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;- choose something simple for your topper;

Entre autres j'ai appris à coudre avec un plan de match, à faire des choix en termes de tissus et de patrons et à m'y tenir, j'ai cousu des jeans (moi qui avait peur de coudre des jeans par peur des ajustements compliqués), et puis j'ai cousu tout un tas de patrons &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;La Mia Boutique&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt; (moi qui en avait envie depuis longtemps)!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;Cependant, l'expérience a été très intense. Je ne crois pas avoir jamais cousu de façon aussi constante et aussi soutenue; en fait ce concours demande beaucoup de souffle! J'ai trouvé que le plus difficile n'était pas la couture comme telle, mais plutôt le temps passé en ajustements (avis partagé par la majorité des participantes au concours). Si vous avez envie de tenter ce genre d'expérience, voici ce que je conseillerais:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet

class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;In the Pattern Review Wardrobe Contest I recently participated in, I made 4 pairs of pants, among which the wonderful jean pattern Jalie #2908. I was scared to make my first pair of jeans in 25 years, the last pair being a Vogue - Calvin Klein jeans patterns back in the 80's. I was also expecting big headaches in terms of fitting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;As soon as I tried the muslin I had made for the jeans, I felt that this was 'it', and that the pattern was living up to the excellent reputation it has acquired on Pattern Review (rave reviews). I liked it so much I decided it was worth doing 2 times: 1 pair is in a dark wash stretch denim by Ralph Lauren, found at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;EmmaOneSock&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt; (see sidebar), the other pair is in a brown stretch cotton velvet found at Fabricland (chain store in Canada). I selected size 'R' based on my waist/hips measurments and the pattern necessitated only minor adjustments. I pinched 5/8'' at the top of the back yoke, and added 2'' to the hem otherwise the jeans would have been too short  to wear with boots or heels. I also added a coin pocket.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;Jalie #2908 is extremely well thought and drafted. It's a classic that the Jalie team has created here, and I can't wait to make myself other versions. Jalie is a pattern company from Québec, based in Saint-Romuald (20 mns from Québec, the city). Please note I used Prÿm rivets and Gütermann topstitching thread (and regulard thread in the bobbin).

J'étais remplie d'appréhension à l'idée de coudre mon premier jean depuis 25 ans au moins (le précédent étant le patron de jean Vogue - Calvin Klein dans les années 80) et je m'attendais à des maux de tête en termes d'ajustements. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;Lorsque j'ai enfilé la toile d'essayage que j'avais faite du jean, j'ai senti tout de suite que ça y était et que le patron était à la hauteur de tout le bien qu'on en dit sur Pattern Review! En fait je l'ai tellement aimé que j'ai décidé de le coudre 2 fois: une fois en denim stretch dark wash de Ralph Lauren (trouvé chez &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;EmmaOneSock, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;voir barre de navigation à droite), et la 2e fois en velours de coton stretch acheté chez Fabricville (chaîne de magasins canadienne). J'ai sélectionné la taille 'R' en me basant sur mes mesures taille/hanches et le patron n'a nécessité que des ajustements mineurs, tout le reste étant parfait. J'ai resserré la couture milieu dos du 'yoke' de 5/8'' et ajouté 2 pouces à l'ourlet du bas, sinon le jean aurait été trop court pour porter avec des bottes ou sandales à talon haut. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;Le Jalie #2908 est extêmement bien pensé et bien dessiné. Assurément, c'est un classique que l'équipe de Jalie a créé, et j'ai hâte de m'en faire d'autres versions. Jalie est une compagnie de patrons québécoise située à Saint-Romuald (environ 20 mns de Québec). Ci-haut quelques photos des deux jeans. À noter que j'ai utilisé les rivets Prÿm et le fil à surpiqûre Gütermann (fil régulier dans la cannette).

The pattern can be found in the January 09 issue of LMB, and also in the french magazine &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Idées Couture Broderie&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (also January issue? I can't tell 'cause I cannot find a date anywhere). I found the sizing to be true to the measurments given in the mag. The top is close-fitting thru the hips; you might want to check that. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;I did personnalize the top by adding coverstitching on the sides (coverstitching on the neckline and hip band is already suggested in the instructions), and by using a simple zig zag stitch in a contrasting cream color on the neckline and cuffs. I also elongated the top by 3'' to make it hip-hugging.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;The fabric used is a magnificent cotton/lycra double knit by Diane von Furstenberg, found at &lt;a href="http://www.emmaonesock.com/"&gt;EmmaOneSock&lt;/a&gt;, my sublime fabric vendor on the internet. Although the quality is excellent, the fabric is already showing signs of pilling... :-(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;The review on PR can be found &lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readreview.pl?readreview=1&amp;amp;reviewnum=39279"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/SwtsWsvmr7I/AAAAAAAAAS8/5PMdiTB0AwI/s1600/scan+01-2009-28.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/SwtsWsvmr7I/AAAAAAAAAS8/5PMdiTB0AwI/s400/scan+01-2009-28.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407534914812161970" style="display: block;

Les hanches sont ajustées; à vérifier si vous avez les hanches un tant soit peu fortes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;J'ai personnalisé le top en ajoutant du &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;coverstitching&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt; (point de recouvrement) sur les côtés (en plus de la bande de hanches et de l'encolure tel que demandé dans les instructions), et en sûrpiquant avec un zig zag en couleur contrastante l'encolure et les poignets. J'ai aussi allongé le top de 3'' pour lui donner du style en le faisant blouser sur les hanches.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;Le tissu utilisé est un magnifique tricot double (coton/lycra), apparemment de Diane von Furstenberg, que j'ai trouvé chez &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.emmaonesock.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;EmmaOneSock&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;, ma sublime vendeuse de tissus sur internet.

Just one pair of pants to sew this week, and I will have completed the 10 mandatory pieces of the Wardrobe Contest from the popular sewing website &lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/"&gt;Pattern Review&lt;/a&gt;. I had this crazy idea to sign up for this contest in September, and since I traced patterns, cut, sewed (sometimes 'til 1 a.m.), ripped out seams and sewed again! I'm almost finished and I must confess I can't wait to say 'Mission accomplished'! Photo shoot last night for a bunch of the garments that I'm looking forward to presenting early next week on this blog and on Pattern Review. Wish me luck!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;Voilà, j'y suis presque... Plus qu'un pantalon à coudre dans la semaine, et j'aurai accompli les 10 morceaux requis par le concours de la garde-robe du populaire site de couture &lt;a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/"&gt;Pattern Review&lt;/a&gt;. Une idée folle m'a prise de m'inscrire à ce concours en septembre, et depuis j'ai tracé des patrons, coupé, cousu (parfois jusqu'à une heure du matin), décousu et recousu! Je touche presque au but et j'avoue que j'ai hâte de pouvoir dire 'Mission accomplie'! Séance de photos hier soir pour une bonne partie des vêtements, que j'ai hâte de vous faire découvrir en début de semaine sur ce blog et sur Pattern Review. Souhaitez-moi bonne chance!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;Virginie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1573469766533844144-4109259641650768902?l=jazz-couture.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/feeds/4109259641650768902/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2009/11/pr-wardrobe-contest-almost.html#comment-form' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/4109259641650768902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1573469766533844144/posts/default/4109259641650768902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jazz-couture.blogspot.com/2009/11/pr-wardrobe-contest-almost.html' title='PR Wardrobe Contest: Almost there/Concours garde-robe PR: presque rendue...'/><author><name>Virginie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02823462969950141823</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/SylQP6wPDpI/AAAAAAAAAXA/teJYZjMlQ4Y/S220/Avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573469766533844144.post-4939281382013838509</id><published>2009-10-20T23:07:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-21T18:41:47.595-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='La Mia Boutique'/><title type='text'>La Mia Boutique November 2009/Novembre 2009</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_17HzJB2twdA/St59iDZ0BRI/AAAAAAAAASo/JaYaqbQymBI/s1600-h/Novembre+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
