Wilder Gown

After a 3 month hiatus, I'm back on the blog to share a cute mini gown named "Wilder" that I just finished.

Hello!

Hi, I’m Emmanuelle. I’m a French Canadian seamstress currently living in Madison, WI. I love sewing, fitting, designing fabric prints or hunting down the grooviest 1960’s florals. (I’m a bit of fabric nerd!) The purpose of this blog is to document my personal sewing journey. Hope you like it!

Today on my blog (link in bio), I look back and see which “pregnancy” and “pre-pregnancy” makes I wore the most over the past 9 months. Hint: this #ddgivre which I made more than 2 years ago (so not the maternity version of the pattern) is in the top 5 😉 . . #sewingcommunity #sewingblogger #sewingbloggersofinstagram #sewistsofinstagram #sewistofinstagram #pregnancysewing #maternitysewing #sewcialists #slowsewing #slowfashion #makeitsewcial #memadeeveryday #deeranddoe #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #memadewardrobe #imakemyownclothes #sewingforthebump

I’ve made a few basics to stay comfy (as possible) during my last weeks (or days 😅) of pregnancy & this #mandyboattee is one of my favourites! . 🌿Using one of my floral designs printed on @spoonflower Organic Cotton Knit! . #spoonflowerfabric #maternitysewing #pregnancysewing #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #sewistofinstagram #sewingcommunity #imakemyownclothes #handmadewardrobe #madisonsews #indiesewing

Here it is! McCall’s M7995 in a gorgeous tulle fabric courtesy of Minerva, featuring embroidered flowers AND sequins! Got to be one of the fanciest fabrics I’ve ever sewed with. Thanks Minerva! M7995 is a loose-fitting short dress that comes with the whole kit and caboodle: optional flounces, ruffles and a large side bow collar. The kind of dress that makes me wanna dance. I cut a size Small for the top of the dress and a size Medium for the bottom for my growing belly. Though at 35 weeks pregnant, my intention for this dress is mainly postpartum use… In fact, I don’t even have a holiday party to attend this year, I just couldn’t resist a little #sewfrosting 😉. . . Fabric: Embroidered Tulle from @minervadotcom + black bemberg rayon + burgundy stretchy satin fabric for the contrast collar and flounces. Pattern: #M7995 @mccallpatterncompany . . . 🇫🇷 Elle est là: McCall’s M7995 dans un superbe tulle brodé ET pailleté offert par Minerva ! Un vrai luxe de coudre avec ce tissu. Merci Minerva ! Une robe courte et ample qui sort l’artillerie lourde: en option, des volants de toutes sortes et un col à gros noeud. Le type de robe qui me donne envie danser. J’ai coupé un Small pour le haut et un Medium pour le bas, l’histoire d’y caser mon ventre qui continue de s’arrondir. Bien qu’à 35 semaines de grossesse, j’ai plutôt l’intention de porter cette robe postpartum… En réalité, aucune fête de fin d’année de prévu, je ne pouvais juste pas résister à l’appel du #sewfrosting2019 #sewingcommunity #sewistsofinstagram #sewersgonnasew #sewingblogger #sewingisfun #sewingfashion #Madisonsews #diyfashion #instacouture #cousumain #sewing #handmadewardrobe #sewfrostingnotcake #holidaysewing #sewcialistsofinstagram #mccallspatterns #sewersofinstagram #ilovesewing #wisconsinsews #madisonsews #jeportecequejecouds #sewsewsew #coutureaddict #sewingaddict #cousette #pregnancysewing #maternitysewing #35weekspregnant

Big bow, sequin & floral embroidery! Here’s a sneak peek of my latest make... . 🌺Gorgeous embroidered tulle fabric @Minerva . . 🇫🇷 Gros noeud, paillettes & fleurs brodées !

It’s a crisp fall day here in Madison. 🍂🌞🍁 A cape kind of day?! I originally made this one for the Revive Fashion Show Fundraiser earlier this month (which btw you can read more about on my blog today - link in bio) using wool fabrics from 3 different old coats and a couple of leftover pieces. #sewing #diyfashion #sewingblogger #sewingbloggersofinstagram #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #madisonsews #madisonmakers #makersgonnamake #refashioned #repurposedclothing #sustainablefashion #refashionedclothing #ethicalfashion

In full “nesting” mode with my new Toaster Sweater in a fun & cozy French Terry from Minerva for an upcoming blog post. Because the Toaster Sweater calls for a fabric with at least 20% stretch and this French Terry barely has any, I went one size up compared to what I would have if I had used a stretchy knit. So I cut a size Small at the top and graded to a size Medium for the bottom to accommodate my pregnant body. Results: plenty of room & I don’t feel constrained in any way by the lack of stretch. Bonus: the absence of stretch also meant that I was able to get away with a simple straight stitch 😉🌸 Pattern: @sewhouse7 #ToasterSweater Fabric: @minervadotcom #frenchterry #minervafabrics #toastersweater2 #maternitysewing #pregnancysewing #sewistofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #sewing #diyfashion #sewcialists #sewhouse7 #sewhouse7patterns #indiesewing #instasewing #sewingbasics #makersgonnamake #sewist #isewmyownclothes #isew
