We have a fun \u201cmeet the panel\u201d week planned for you here on the blog. All week long we will be featuring our five Gallery Tunic + Dress sew-along<\/a> panelists. They\u2019re going to be sharing the materials they\u2019ve selected and talking about their plans for their garments. I think you\u2019re going to like seeing the fabrics these sewing gal-pals have selected for their Gallery Tunics or Dresses<\/a>. We\u2019re kicking it off today with Carmen who was the winner of the first season of Cousu Main. What has she been plotting for the sew along? Have a look and see.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hello! Such good company and talented seamstresses!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Carmen Bouchard, I\u2019m 53. I\u2019m a Canadian expat living in Brittany, France. I\u2019ve been sewing for as long as I can remember. In 2014, I won the Great French Sewing Bee Season 1. I have been sewing more since. I have also been teaching more and I am a spokesperson for Fiskars and Janome here in France.<\/p>\n

My little dream project to promote is Les Petites Mains Nomades<\/a> which is a 3 day sewing retreat at La Manufacture Bohin. It\u2019ll be a first in France and I hope there will be many more.<\/p>\n

I still have no idea what I\u2019m going to make with my Gallery pattern, but I am veering towards the tunic with a 3 quarter sleeve and a collar but then I look at the matching buttons and will have to find a way to use them too\u2026 The fabric is a really nice drapey polyester I got at Anna K Bazar and it\u2019s going to be the perfect Spring project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
