Hi Everyone,
This week I'm delighted to share with you my most recent make from Maison Fauve. The glorious Metropolis Jacket:
maison-fauve.c...
Made in their Jacquard Swoop fabric:
maison-fauve.c...
Please consider visiting the V&A exhibition in London:
Victoria and Albert Museum
020 7942 2000
g.co/kgs/v3L3soJ
It's a treasure trove of beautiful artifacts, often including Textile exhibitions.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on blouse patterns for the 2 Sezane blouses that I tried on.
Sezane is such an inspiration for me:
www.sezane.com...
This week Tilly and the Buttons said the same too on their Instagram account following the launch of their new pattern:
shop.tillyandt...
I hope you enjoyed this video, thanks again for all the kind words following the death of my beautiful whippet Lara. If you made a comment you genuinely helped me in a very difficult time.
I genuinely appreciate it.
I hope you have a lovely week
I'd love it if you'd buy me a Ko-fi, every contribution helps my channel:

Have a lovely week

Buy the blouse, Cara - you are worth it and you'll struggle to replicate it because it's so hard to find the right broderie anglaise. And so much sympathy for the loss of your furry companion.😢❤

@sosewmad 5 месяцев назад

That's very kind of you, I'd love to buy the blouse, sadly it's beyond my reach right now, but maybe one day. Thank you for your support it means the world to me

What a beauuuuutiful jacket, Cara ! You’ve done a gorgeous job and you’re very inspiring and encouraging ❤. I loved the Chanel exhibition too. Re the Sézane blouse you coveted, it’s the price per wear that counts and you can tell immediately that it fits and suits you. If you’re still longing for it, maybe you could get it for a special occasion or as a present to be held back till a suitable moment? Buy it or dismiss it but don’t agonise- too many other things matter more 😉🤩❤️

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Lara. They stay with us as long as they can, but it's never enough. P&M Mome blouse has ruffled collar and sleeve cuffs. It's pullover with a zip or loop and button back, but they offer a free hack on their website to turn it into a button front. I just recently bought some McKee Re-embroidered Stretch Lace from Mood with no idea what to make from it - I might try this!

@sosewmad 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for the wonderful suggestions I'll go and check that out. The fabric sounds fantastic, enjoy!

@user-mz7pl5ww1i 5 месяцев назад

That was so interesting. I really enjoyed all the elements and your jacket is a thing of beauty. As for Lara, it will be raw for some time to come you just need time to process the loss. I lost my beautiful dog nine months ago. It took me weeks to be less tearful, and I couldn't even look at photos of him. You just have to go with it.

I was at the Chanel exhibition recently too. It was amazing, the fine stitching and details on those beautiful fine fabrics was exquisite. I particularly loved the 20’s to 40’s era, the dresses were made to look so simple but close inspection showed otherwise. I found her life story so interesting too - what a woman she was! x

Hi Cara... My suggestions for a sezane look alike ruffled blouse are: Liesl & Co Fitzroy blouse (read their article as nearing the end they suggest it lends itself to adding a ruffle neckline) or the Anastasia blouse (a free download pattern of which I've made X2 and love them) 🏵️

@kaiti5084 5 месяцев назад

wondrous jacket, what a triumph. very impressive. I was looking at exactly the same two blouses on the Sezane website. I have been drooling over the clothes since Kate did a vlog in the edit on the fold line. Also I was remembering that beautiful lace fabric at Maison Fauve of which I was also sent a sample. I haven't ordered it yet but I am also on the search for a suitable pattern. I think that this sort of fabric and style is very up to date and will be quite fashionable this year. It will be so wearable. Can't wait to see your plans going forward. Thanks for sharing your inspirational trip and you infectious positive energy.

Cara. You have made a wonderful job of your Chanel jacket and you should be proud of the workmanship. I am impressed with the pattern matching but even more so with the insertion and placement of shoulder pads which can make or break a garment. Good job! You didn't mention it but I am curious ...... Did you add a chain in the hemline? Cheers. J.

@sosewmad 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much, no chain in the hemline, I've not heard of that before. Curious

@Julie-uh6wf 5 месяцев назад

Very enjoyable vlog, thanks Cara. You truly inspire me, I’ve been dressmaking since the 1970s but never especially difficult makes - but this afternoon I’ve finally got round to cutting out the maison fauve tremplin trousers after your vlog a while back about them. I’ve also made the salto top which is lovely.

Hi Cara, thank you for sharing your trip to the Chanel exhibition, she designed the most exquisite clothes. Your Maison Fauve jacket is dreamy, very chanelesque, I would’ve been holding my breath all the way through sewing it, you are so talented and you look beautiful in it. The Sezane blouses are so lovely, I look forward to seeing if you find a pattern that is near to them. ❤😊

@judithfletcher287 5 месяцев назад

The Chanel style jacket is beautiful, well done! For the Sezane frill neck blouse, you could try the Tiana's closet Fatima - it's a frill neck button front mini dress, but could easily be shortened to make a blouse, it has short puff sleeve so you would modify them. Or there is the Marjorelle by Itch to stitch.

@sosewmad 5 месяцев назад

Ooo perfect thank you for the recommendations and kind words, I really appreciate it

@letitiathomson914 5 месяцев назад

Hi Cara, Itch to Stitch has the Majorelle shirt which has a collar frill, unfortunately it has raglan sleeves. They also have the Bonn Shirt which you could add a ruffle to. Just a couple of suggestions. Your jacket is beautiful and fits so well as always. Happy sewing.🧵🪡🇦🇺

Buy the blouse. You understand fabric and construction. Honor the expertise. You know it’s worth the money. If it fits, buy it. Then make the pants and jacket out of wonderful fabric to accompany it.

I've been looking, for several years, to replicate a very similar broderie anglaise blouse that I grew out of. It's not been the pattern that's been the problem but finding the right broderie anglaise - I just couldn't find one that was right. I've finally solved the issue by losing two and a half stone! 😂

@sosewmad 5 месяцев назад

@jennetthamilton971 5 месяцев назад

I bet there were ladiesnon the street wondering where you bought your jacket and what designer. It is so beautiful! I went on a little search for a blouse pattern. I know a couple of years ago Butterick had a similar blouse paired with overalls. It must be out-of print, of course It It, I want that pattern. I did find a blouse on a site called Angela Kane. The pattern is # 545 and called the semi fitted shirt with frill. Not sure if it would work or not.

Thank you for your kind words. On the website are details of sizing from 6 to 24.
