I’m sewing my first ruffled halter. 🙂

So I actually was first! 🙂 I’m staying up unusually late because it’s end of school term, but now it’s high time to go and get some sleep!

[CILOU]

Thanks! (You knew it would be 3AM for me!) Was I first?

I’ve almost finished the bear carrier, my daughter will love it!

Like justmejay, my very basic Brother has both measurements on it (and I only realised it had imperial measuremens on it when starting to sew with O+S!

[CILOU]

Mine hasn’t been shipped yet :-(. Why does it take so long to cross an ocean????

My first pattern was the pajamas : http://leblogdelafamillewald.over-blog.com/article-deux-fa-ons-de-coudre-43481779.html , which made me realize I really had to measure my kids before sewing and not relie on the size!

But my 2nd try was more successful : http://leblogdelafamillewald.over-blog.com/article-toutes-en-popover-47522119.html (How is that possible that my little girl grew up so much in less than one year?)

My favorite one until now is the Sailboat top!

maremelade, I can’t wait for the French translation (if any?), I’ve already ordered it in English!

[CILOU]

Yes, they’re just amazing, I would just like to be able to see them in real!

I just tried once again to connect on Flickr and this time I succeded! Now I’ll need some free time to load the pictures, but it’ll come!

motherof5, no, I haven’t posted in the Flickr group (I struggled some time ago to register and finally lost the battle 😉 but I’ve joined a French “collective blog” of O+S sewings (http://oliverslovers.canalblog.com/)

Hi! My name is Cécile, I’m 36, I live in France (in Alsace, in the Far Eastern part of France), have 3 kids : 2 boys aged 9 and 6 and a 3-year old girl.

I’m a half-time teacher in primary schools, and the very short time left by taking care of my kids and my classes are devoted to reading and sewing.

I have a couple of O+S patterns, and I wish I had enough time to sew them all. Until now I’ve already made the Puppet show tunic and shorts, a couple of Popover dresses, a couple of Sailboat tops, a Nature walk tunic, one pyjamas. And I just began a 2+2 tunic and skirt.

I like the style of the O+S patterns and I also like to learn new things when sewing these patterns.

I just hope you understood all!
