Jack& his brand new passion

Let us present you 84 year old Jack from London. He just discoverd his passion for sewing. His charm and curiosity blew us away. Remember: we're never too old to learn!

Weekend impressions...

Knitting class with Sebastien and 5 girls on a not so typical bachelorette afternoon...



Esther customizes her new blazer. She bought it for 12€ at a chinese boutique at Belleville and put some 7€ buttons on it. What an upgrade!

Thanks for the flowers Esther!

Meanwhile in London..

..not quite as handmade but surely not less impressive. Window-marketing-dream come true!

Hello sailor!

Mathilde is very happy with her little tote bag (mon petit sac marin as she calls it).
She never touched a sewing machine before and made the bag in only two hours (Atelier Couture Découverte)!

UNRAVEL

We were one of the lucky ones to make it last minute to the Antwerp MoMu exhibition UNRAVEL. Very inspiring to travel through the last centuries knitwear in (high) fashion with its exquisite knitted garments and accessories. Hope you've had a chance to get a glimpse!

If you missed this exhibition, don't miss the next one!
