In a few decades we have grown larger and, unfortunately, bigger, so manufacturers have changed the standard sizes of clothing.
A criterion has not yet been taken into account: women have an arched back!! Result, often pants have a back gap.
No need to be a great seamstress, it’s an easy fixing.
You need: 2 flat and thick buttons – some buttonhole elastic – sewing thread – a needle – 2 pins – a seam ripper – a thimble (for the more clumsy 
)

Much more delay than last year!!
It must be noted that my online shop and my return to work are a big part of my days… I have much less time for crafting and it takes time for my photos to become a post

One of my colleague made me know a very good Languedoc rosé which has a very original name: the “Retour de plage” (return from beach)
For her retirement, I wanted to offer her two wine glasses engraved with her initial and her husband one. As he is already retired, they can savor (with moderation!) this rosé coming back from the beach.

It’s time to start making your DIY Xmas gifts!
284 book folding patterns available on the shop.
Recently, I have been regularly asked about the computer tools I use for book folding or cut and fold.
Here is (very quickly!) the story:
– Isaac Salazar is an artist who used books to transform them into art sculpture.
– In February 2012 I was the very first one to conceptualize a technique using the Photoshop software. Tutorial I shared for free on this website. I have been looted throughout the world, without credit to my post.

In France, health studies begin with a hard selective year. This year requires huge work and is also psychologically hard.
Our daughter is very voluntary (years of swimming competition ended up forging a very strong character). Yet this year, she is doubtful of her abilities.
To convince her she has what it takes to succeed, I made a self-confident tank top, like I did for her cousin (HERE).

I know, we are already in March and I am a little late publishing this new book-envelopes to store the year souvenirs…
I made a new book for my friend Marie. She is a teddy bear lover (see HERE), “Me to You” matches perfectly.
The hardest part was to find a picture/theme for each month.
Find the detailed tutorial on the first book post HERE.

From a photo I create a portrait pattern of the person of your choice.
My manual processing gives a finely detailed portrait and not a stencil style image.
Cut and fold method detailed instructions with pics included in the pattern.
See details HERE.
When I saw that cross I knew it was the perfect Christmas gift for my friend Marie…
Since a long time, my “todo” list involved tatting learning, it was the ideal opportunity.

The ellipse of my previous post was for the bottom of this laundry bag.
Our second bird has left the nest 
Fortunately our daughter is not far but her first year of medical studies doesn’t allow her time for daily stains. This laundry bag is full of what I have to wash (I don’t see her when I go to her student room).
I did not resist and added a humoristic deco

My tendinitis still forced me to be craft inactive, it gives me time to relook my website.
I became a left-handed computer mouse pro!
Simple design, less flashy, I surprised myself to become wiser
Tell me what you think about this new style…
I did not resigned, but since five months a nasty (and persistant) right thumb tendinitis prevents me to make any manual activity (and quite anything else as I’m right handed …).
Few days ago I completed a project, but since then I am again in a phase of forced inactivity
Anyway, for this project I needed an ellipse!
