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!

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

Introducing my new maternity #soiultimatewrapdress in a beautiful Cotton Jersey from #Minerva 🌿🌸🌿 (More details will be on Minerva soon) The dress I’ve been living in, I finally get it why this pattern is so popular. Snug and comfy at the top, long fitted sleeves and thanks to Sew Over It amazing maternity hack, the empire wrap sits exactly where I was hoping it would! *Pregnancy update*: 32 weeks and feeling so grateful that our little man is healthy and growing! We can’t wait to meet him 👶🏻 After being diagnosed with gestational diabetes a couple of months ago, my pregnancy journey has become more challenging physically and mentally. It might sound shallow but being able to sew for myself and wear this cute dress feels like a breath of fresh air. Once again, I’ve realized how sewing means so much more to me than creating a handmade wardrobe. Here, it’s about self-care 💕 Happy Monday Everyone! . #maternitysewing #pregnancysewing #sewoverit #wrapdress #slowfashion #handmadewardrobe #minervafabrics #ilovesewing #sewingismytherapy #maternityhack #youcanhackit #sewersofinstagram #diyfashion #32weekspregnant #gestationaldiabetes #sewistofinstagram #dressmaker #thirdtrimester #sewingisselfcare

It’s already time to say goodbye after 2 beautiful weeks back home 🇫🇷. Crazy to think that next time, our little 👶🏻 will be there too. I can’t wait to show him my favourite spots, including this beach where I spent all my childhood summers. Here, wearing my new @tillybuttons #sewingindigo in a cute plaid viscose fabric from @diffuslainetissus_atlantique a comfy little dress which works well for my #27weekspregnant body (and beyond) #tillyandthebuttons #indiesewing #handmadewardrobe #jecoudspourmoi #instacouture #sewistsofinstagram #pregnancysewing #maternitysewing #memade #sewinglove #diyfashion #slowfashion

Last month, @coradigs @brodonn & I tried the whole avocado pits dyeing thing and it was a lot of fun! I dyed the bottom of this linen skirt that I had made back in April. My growing bump didn’t fit in anymore so I figured before changing the waistband, I might as well experiment a little... 🥑🍯✂️I let it soak in the avocado dye for about an afternoon. I really like the soft shade that came out of it. The new waistband contains an elastic this time 😂 and I used raw silk noil leftovers which matches quite well the bottom of the skirt. Tada! Feels like a brand new skirt and perhaps most importantly, I can wear it again. #21weekspregnant #naturaldyeing #avocadodye #linenskirt #handmadewardrobe #fabricdye #fabricdyeing #makersmovement #sewing #sewistsofinstagram #naturaldye #slowfashion #instasewing #selfdrafted #madisonsews #sewcialists
