In spring 2020, I bought my first sewing machine. I armed myself with patience and decided to learn sewing from scratch.
​
Each project taught me a little more. YouTube became my best friend "how to sew a buttonhole?","how to sew an invisible zipper", etc.
​
I quickly realized that commercial patterns were not adapted to my body shape (tall, small chest, wide hips and shoulders). There is nothing more frustrating than sewing a garment that does not fit you perfectly.
​
I quickly started to create my own patterns. The passion grew and my boyfriend gave me the good idea to train me. I then found an online training course in a French school to train me for 3 years as a fashion designer.
I tell myself "At worst I will sew my own wardrobe, at best, I will make a business out of it. Because yes, I work as an e-commerce team leader and I have always dreamed of being an entrepreneur."
During my training as a fashion designer, I developed my creativity, I sketched, I learned Photoshop, I imagined collections, I created technical files to send to seamstresses, I organized a fashion show and then everything became real!
I have now decided to sell my first pieces by making them to order! I hope you like them.
The adventure has only just begun.
