Day 5 of #bpsewvember is “Warm”: these self-drafted shorts in a 70s vintage polyester are a summer favourite of mine! (Also a fall favourite with some tights) #vintagefabrics #repurposedfabric #repurposed #makersmovement #sewistsofinstagram #diyfashion #handmadeisbetter #handmadewardrobe

Day 4 of #bpsewvember is “Contrast”: I love double-sided fabrics like this reversible ponte which I used on both sides to create contrasting shoulders and belt. I can’t stare at it for too long though because the geometric black & white print makes me dizzy 😂▪️▫️▪️▫️ #sewingcommunity #blackandwhite #slowfashion #instasewing #coutureaddict #sewingfrancoise #60sstyle #sixtiesinspired #moddress #sewistsofinstagram #madisonsews #wisconsinsews #makersmovement #makersgonnamake

Day 2 of #bpsewvember is “luxurious”! I drafted this little black dress in lace last year and it looks kind of fancy. Though true luxury to me is to be able to make and wear whatever I like! #sewing #lovetosew #handmade #littleblackdress #lacedress #makersgonnamake #slowfashion

Hello #bpsewvember ! My name is Emmanuelle and I’m excited to meet you all. I’m 🇫🇷 & 🇨🇦 living in the 🇺🇸 with my husband and our little puppy. I usually make stuff for others by day (I started a small sewing business a year ago) and for myself by night. #alliwanttodoissew #sewingcommunity

I unintentionally dressed up as a bottle of Red Burgundy with this new make in stretch twill! ☺️🍷 I used Orageuse’s Amsterdam for the oversized blazer and Colette’s Clover for the slim pants. It took me a while to get into the groove of making this blazer (interfacing the pieces took soooo long and I kept having to unpick and redo the strap seam/pocket area for some reason 😂) but I’m glad I insisted. I love the shawl collar & the straight loose silhouette. I cut a size 36. I’m shorter than the pattern’s standard height, but I wanted to emphasize the oversized look so I didn’t remove any length. As recommended in the instructions, I added small sleeve heads for the shape of the shoulders and it visually makes a huge difference. With the stretch twill leftovers, I made a quick pair of Clover pants which finished this look very nicely!#orageuseamsterdam #cloverpants #orageusepatterns #sewing #seamstress #sewingblazer #oversizedblazer #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #imakemyownclothes #jeportecequejecouds #slowfashion #couture #coutureaddict #jecoudsdoncjesuis #diyfashion

I made a midi #nikkodress in the softest bamboo rib knit and I really like its minimalist silhouette.
