About
It's the story of a sewing machine ... no, it's more the story of a young girl who was given a sewing machine for her 18th birthday.
Forgotten to the closet for years, I rediscovered it in my cellar during a move in 2011, and never left me since!
Self-taught seamstress, I started out by creating clothes and accessories for myself and then making "homemade" gifts for people around me, friends, and relatives.
Working in the development and communication sector, it's a total change of career and life!
Quickly, thanks to the word of mouth and the support of my relatives, I decided to embark upon this new adventure, which is only beginning!
I choose the fabrics and materials according to my wishes and tastes, and according to the scrap fabrics I am able to find. I create and design what comes out of the workshop with the same meticulousness and care as I put into doing things for myself!
I am delighted today to share my universe with you and I hope you will like it.
... the result of a passion for sewing and the creation of objects forged over time and travel.
Deeply concerned about the environment and aware of the ecological and social impact of mass production and consumption, I thus express my know-how through creations combining beauty, originality and sustainability.

As much as possible, I use materials (upcycling of scrap fabric, fabric, haberdashery, DIY) that are eco-friendly or even recyclable (wood, paper, etc.) and am committed to reducing waste as much as possible by making the best use of residues (scrap fabric, sewing thread…) by upcycling them creating other objects or using them for stuffing.
