After Tea from Belgrad <\/a>made a beautiful, colorful and water resistent Amy Parka in April <\/a>our Sewing Around The World Tour continues and we now proudly present the creation from Anna.<\/p>\n

Anna – the name of her blog is “Along avec Anna<\/a>”\u00a0– comes from France, lived several years in Canada and moved some months ago to England. There she follows her passion and besides sewing, does all kinds of crafting – especially knitting!<\/a><\/p>\n

We are happy that Anna confirmed to participate in our Sewing-project and she immediately opted for the Yogaset OM\u00a0.<\/a>\u00a0Since Novita from Japan <\/a>has sewn the Yogaset already last November, we proposed Anna to show her set in combination with “all-day-clothes”. She decided to make the shirt and the tanktop and took the photos with a pair of jeans. Fits perfectly, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The fabrics – jerseys and sweat – she got from the French online shop Ma petite mercerie<\/a>\u00a0which has a huge range of fabrics – especially jerseys and sweats. They have not only every color, in stripes, dots etc, but also some interesting graphically patterned fabrics.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anna who writes on her blog for about three years loves to show her garments in front of picturesques locations. This time – ohl\u00e0l\u00e0 – purple and white flowers which go very well with her shirt.\u00a0The pink shirt looks very well on her and so no wonder that she – as she wrote – often wears it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Merci<\/em> Anna<\/a> for this lovely contribution and Merci<\/em> Ma petite mercerie<\/a>\u00a0for the generous support!<\/p>\n

And if you want to more about Anna, in our little interview we send to very blogger she talks about her passion – she sews since she is 8 – and about her favorite work, a dress…<\/p>\n

Present yourself a little bit (name, age, children, name of the blog, age, city where you live, what you are doing when you are not sewing, \u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

My name is Anna, I\u2019m a 30 yo french girl who just settled down in England with my family after 4 years in Canada and I have a 16 months little girl called Alice. I started my blog \u2018Le fil \u00e0 coudre d\u2019Anna\u2019 3 years ago when we were in Montreal and I still love to write it. When I\u2019m not sewing, I\u2019m \u2026. knitting! And of course taking care of my little girl as well. I\u2019m currently at home with her while I\u2019m waiting for my degree equivalence to work as a speech and language pathologist in the UK. Even if I\u2019m not working, my days are really busy and I don\u2019t get much time to sew appart from the evenings!<\/p>\n

When did you start to sew and why? How did you learn to sew?<\/em><\/p>\n

I learnt how to sew when I was probably about 8 years old, thanks to my nan. She has an amazing sewing room with 4 sewing machines, and she taught me and my cousins how to sew quite young. I use to sew a lot until I was about 15 and then stopped as I didn\u2019t have much time with school. I started again in Montreal in 2013, after founding a sewing blog online. I realized that the patterns were now very fashionable compare to before, and I bought a sewing machine that same week.<\/p>\n

What are your favourite clothes? Do you have a fable for something?<\/em><\/p>\n

Definitely dresses !! That\u2019s basically what I sew most of the time. I use to sew and wear a lot of cotton dresses, but being at home for the past 16 months, I\u2019ve been sewing and wearing a lot of knit dresses as they are very comfy. I\u2019ll probably sew more fancy and vintage dresses when I\u2019ll go back to work and have more occasions to wear them.<\/p>\n

What is the sewing project you like the most?<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh it\u2019s a very difficult question! I love my first Cambie dress a lot (Sewaholic patterns) as it\u2019s in a very nice chambray fabric made in France. But lately, the garment I\u2019ve been wearing the most is definitely my Moneta dress made in a striped blue and gold knit fabric. I love the fit on me, and it\u2019s a very easy day-to-day outfit to wear.<\/p>\n

Do you only sew for you or also for other people (husband, children, \u2026)?<\/em><\/p>\n

I used to sew mostly for myself, and sometimes for my nieces if I could, but now I\u2019m trying to sew for my daughter as well. Especially as she\u2019s growing up, she can wear the clothes I make for a longer time, so it\u2019s definitely more worth it than before!<\/p>\n

From where do you get your ideas? Do you buy patterns or do you invent your own ones?<\/em><\/p>\n

I get a lot of my ideas from Pinterest, and fashion blogs, or tv shows. Most of the time I use patterns that I buy, but it happened a lot of time that I was using them as a base, and changing details to make it fit my ideas. I\u2019ve made a few tops and dresses from patterns that I designed, but it definitely takes longer now that I\u2019m a mum!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
