Voilà des semaines que je traine mon projet de veste et de pantalon. Rien n'avance. Ce n'est pas que je manque de motivation, j'ai envie de coudre, je n'ai juste pas d'énergie. Après avoir terminé ma maitrise en gestion et changé de boulot, tout ça dans le même mois, je crois être sérieusement mure pour des vacances. Demain 17 heures, j'éteins mon ordinateur pour les trois prochaines semaines.

Ce soir, en guise de bonbon, je travaille sur ce paton Burda tendances mode 2009-07-114. J'avais besoin d'un projet avec résultat rapide.


Voici le tissu magnifique dans lequel, je le confectionne. Il s'agit d'une magnifique soie italienne à grands motifs floraux. En principe ce patron se réalise en deux heures à peine. Toutefois, l'ourlet étroit fait à la main me demande un peu plus de temps. Le chemisier/puncho sera terminé pour notre souper en amis de vendredi.


For the past few weeks, my sewing projects aaaarrrreeeeeee ssstttttrrrrreeeeecccchhheeeeeddd. I started the BWOF jacket and the Mischka pants in mid may. Nothing is really going fast. This is so not related to a lack of motivation. I am simply just tired. In the same month I started a new position at the university and I ended out my last paper in order to obtain my master in management. This is what I call a busy month. I am so much in need of vacations. Tomorrow, 5pm, I will shut down my computer. The poor this will have to be alone for three weeks, while I will be sitting on a beach looking at the immensity of the St-Lawrence Golfe. Cold yes, but oh so intense in beauty, smell and peacefullness. I will bring you back pictures. Meanwhile, this is the view we have from the house.



Before I live for this windy paradise, I needed a simple project that could provide with an instente reward. I am currently hand hem 5,4m of pure italian silk. The fabric you see above in black with the large floral print is a charm to work with. It is intensly soft and the drape is enought to make a princess fall in love. Life as a semsstress is so wonderful, you get to feel and work with, the most beautiful knit or woven creations. ahhh lusss Beleive me this fabric is out of this world.

Often, I receive email of readers asking for the name of the store where I buy my fabric. This silk was bought at Madeleine Soie et Laine on St-Hubert Street. Unfortunately, they do not sell on line. Here is a picture of Carole at work cutting another piece of beauty. In the background, the object of my dreams. It stayed in mind for weeks. Now it is mine !
