A few of the tote bags in my new Etsy <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LeCoquelicotStudio" target="_blank">shop</a>, do you like them? I heat fixed my fave 60s vintage sewing patterns on them with special transfer sheets, which is actually very tricky. Many swear words were uttered, a few trials binned. Getting there now. will soon be customising them with faux naif badges made by a lovely <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/HiFruitcake" target="_blank">artist</a> in India, see below. Can you think of witty quotes related to sewing, charity shops and recycling? Do tell. The best one could get a surprise bag... x<br />

Reproductions for all you hooked crocheters are ready to download in my Etsy shop! Just click on my shop icon on the top left of this page<br />
<br />
I have also gone amigurumi mad, although the 2 creatures I seem to make the most are the owl and the fox. I have been making crocheted animal brooches and pendants and I am slowly putting them on sale in my shop too.<br />

I have been sewing!<br />
No kidding, and here is the evidence in a few slightly blurry ipod pictures, as I am planning to hopefully fix my faulty Nikon connection today and be able to use proper photographs again for this blog.<br />

I made the braces but decided not to sew them on as I felt they really didnt suit me and looked rather rideeeeeyculous on me! Too bad, but I love the 60sness of the skirt anyway.<br />

My answers make me sound like a socially awkward nerd but hey maybe thats what I am anyway. Embrace your inner nerd is my motto. Be a happy freak.<br />
''What others point at, cultivate it because its the real you''<br />
is a French proverb I Love.<br />
Below the adorable red fabric is going to be another retro Sureau dress my friends! I shall be working on it today and hopefully posting pics tomorrow as tuesday is my day off or SEWING DAY! YAY!<br />
On the right is the beginning of a stripy cotton crochet t shirt for my holidays in sunny France in July.<br />

The award involves answering 11 questions, giving 11 random facts about myself and nominating my own 11 fave bloggers. <br />
So, I will start with my facts for this post :<br />
(sorry not much time to myself this week! Answers to questions and my nominations next week)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">11 random facts</span><br />
1. I am a twin . My twin was born disabled .She is a sweetie and loves clothes and music like me!<br />
2. I will turn 44 on the 10th of July. I look and feel younger. I believe in star signs , I am a Cancerian, ie tough shell with a soft centre , and my family and home are very important to me.<br />
3.I work from home which I love. Always hated working as a team in an office, me.<br />
4. I am always cold! I suffer from anemia so that doesnt help! I keep cardigans and scarves in my bag just in case...what a granny!<br />
5. I used to be very very shy but changed and seem confident when you meet me. However I still get attacks of shyness and social anxiety around certain people. I kinda have learned to hide these away but in my teenage years it was hell and didnt help with making friends and boyfriends. poor me, he.<br />
6.I met Morrissey in a pub in London a few years ago. Asked for his autograph. I was shaking and couldnt really say much but didnt embarass myself. I love the Smiths!<br />
7. The violin player from Pulp once chatted me up in a club in London. God that was embarrasing.<br />
8.I am French and left Lille for London in 1995. always an anglophile, I did an english degree in france and was always obsessed with the idea of living in London. so at 25, I did it. Best thing I ever did. <br />
9. I am a good dancer, give me a few glasses of wine, put some northern soul/indie pop on and i'll dance for hours.<br />
10. I am rubish at tidying up and being organised.<br />
11. I am very good at making soups, salads and risottos. Rubbish with cakes though.<br />
<br />
There you go my lovelies, feel free to comment if you share some of my quirks! xxx<br />

Hey lovely followers, fashionistas and charity shop maniacs, I am back and I have finished sulking, the sun is out and I can finally wear my home stitched dresses. Happy face. And a lovely person has given me a blog award with a list of fun questions I am answering in the next post!<br />
To get back into the swing of things, let me introduce the most comfortable shorts in the world.<br />

My first pair !!! Made by my little hands!<br />
You 'll understand how chuffed I am with them when I tell you that they used to be a mini skirt found in a charity shop in my town for...3.99£ <br />
!!!!!!<br />
I meant to do comfy summer shorts for a while now that I have ventured out from my cave and that the sun is out, so I used a Burda pattern from the last 'Burda Couture Facile' magazine and instead of buying new fabric from my local sewing shop ( a shoe box with 2 adorable grannies behind the counter but the cheapest fabric there starts at 8£ a metre, not cheap when you need more than a metre ...) I visited a few charity shops on the look out for the perfect item i could turn into a pair of shorts.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_lNsWf0C1HcAHviYKxrZSOyT9T5DMiy0S2aq6stNsbFEpvr3ucMdNskMYboTKd08qkzop1Z-GUkFeFvOaMs6-5Ehv1f_Rh3OMKM8Kl93B41P4O0jWWICxi-9cGAI-iKJQVGrB18RguHo/s1600/032.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_lNsWf0C1HcAHviYKxrZSOyT9T5DMiy0S2aq6stNsbFEpvr3ucMdNskMYboTKd08qkzop1Z-GUkFeFvOaMs6-5Ehv1f_Rh3OMKM8Kl93B41P4O0jWWICxi-9cGAI-iKJQVGrB18RguHo/s640/032.JPG" width="416" /></a> <br />
I meant to make them in voile like the one the pattern called for but couldnt see anything that tickled my fancy until I saw this black and white roses print on a skirt. In stretch cotton, even better...size 18, so well enough fabric to hack into, yay!<br />
I first simply cut away and turned the skirt into 2 rectangles of fabric so that I could lay my pattern on it. I kept the original hem and waist band <strike>because i am lazy</strike> because they were perfect as they were and could be re used, so i stitched the waistband on again after trimming it and sewing all the pattern pieces together including the pockets. One thing I love about these shorts are the 4 chic pleats at the front like you'd find on 'proper' classic trousers, and the pockets, which I did in white broderie anglaise for a bit of contrast:<br />
man, these pockets are so comfy and cute, I love them!<br />

They are wide fitting tailored shorts which is what I wanted and suit my round butt, ie, important info: my derriere is not flat and discreet !, so I didnt want tight shorts, also everyone (well teenagers and 20 y old fashionistas) is wearing tight denim shorts so no thanks.<br />
I am wearing them with a blue chambray top I also made recently from a 50s pattern:<br />

Its got scallops at the hem and collar, I must say they were easier to do than I expected! I messed up the sizing a bit and the top ended up being too short and not wide enough around the hips so.....I added a row of scallops! to lengthen it, and opened the side seams at the hem. so it is a little strange but still very wearable, me thinks? I shall make it again as the pattern intends with a different fabric as it is super easy, just 2 pieces and 2 facings.<br />

As you can see I added a few 'gothic' details: black lace at the hem and along the fake placket, as well as piping along the waist. I found the lovely purple and black floral cotton in my dream fabric shop in France for 10 euros.<br />

My next step is to encase the sleeves hem in an elastic to give them a cleaner, tighter look.<br />
Cute dress, non?! looks like a Liberty, but isnt... cute, casual, yet not boring, a bit retro, can be worn over leggings when the cold Liverpool wind blows, whats not to like.<br />

Just finished a lovely Sureau dress by the French pattern company Deer and Doe. In beautiful purple and black COTTON of course ie not warm. Pictures coming soon when I decide to come out from under all those warm blankets and jumpers...A few examples of my favorite Sureau dresses on the blogosphere:<br />

Yes, its a simple casual dress with a little retro flavour.<br />
Its got long sleeves and can be worn over (warm) tights and leggings, hurray!<br />
(Question: Shall I emigrate to a warm country if the rain makes me so damn miserable?
Will I not miss drinking tea all day and listening to the Smiths?
or: Shall I make all my future 60s dresses in warm fabrics like wool, cord, jersey?
I think I'll go for that option.)<br />
Meanwhile I have made a lot of
tunics and dresses in lovely thin not warm at all COTTON so I am getting
into the art of layering clothes and underlining clothes so that I can
wear those makes without having to stand next to a radiator all day.<br />
a bientot...<br />

Its been quiet around My Liberty Skirt lately and I do apologize to my lovely followers.<br />
<br />
Just not feeling it lately, with an English spring/summer that feels like October, a new job that leaves me energy less in the evening and this and that and Life being a bit of a b*tch again have made me feel a bit blah.<br />
I still look at all your posts, lovely creative bloggers out there, yes that addiction is still there!<br />
But you know what they say, if you are not feeling it...<br />
<br />
I'll just wait for inspiration to strike and then I'll be back again!<br />
<br />
(-my recent sewing makes : a Laurel blouse in a lovely blue and black japanese style cotton<br />
- a blue chambray 50s top with scalloped hems and 3/4 sleeves, almost finished<br />
-and a work in progress: a Great Gatsby 1920s dress in midnight blue satin ...photos in the next post whenever that is!)<br />
Could be next week. Could be in a month time.<br />
Meanwhile I shall be getting these pink <a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33053&storeId=12552&productId=10490507&langId=-1&categoryId=&searchTerm=brogues&pageSize=20" target="_blank">Oxfords</a> and will be watching the Mighty Boosh a lot with the delectable Noel Fielding to cheer myself up.<br />

Made with 70s sheets found on ebay, this Colette pattern is brilliant and falls really nicely for a 60s shift, and isnt boxy, thanks to the curve around the waist. I did have to take it in, my normal size 12 was way too big, which explains the extra seams across the chest to take some fabric in, but I love it!<br />

Look at my lovely <strike>bum</strike>, scoliosis! A swayback is the sewing term and it usually is a pain in the bum indeed to correct patterns for the exagerated shape of my derriere. It wasnt a problem with this pattern but I still struggle with the insertion of invisible zips, it never looks seamless around the area where the zip disappears under the fabric.there is always a little bump there. If any of you know how to fix this, please tell.<br />

Conclusion: success! This is the dress I am most proud of so far, even though it isnt 100% perfect and I am planning in making it next in purple t shirt jersey with lacey Liberty piping around the bib.<br />
Next project too: The Mathilde blouse in giant polka dot navy jersey.<br />
Love and kisses, darlings<br />

Here it is! yep, it is my own version and the bow has been replaced by 2 buttons.<br />
The 2 wide pockets have also been replaced by a small square one. One reason is that I didnt have enough chambray fabric for this skirt who requires a lot of fabric, being a wrap skirt. Another one is that I felt a big bow added bulk and didnt work for me. I think I tried to take this skirt from the 70s to the 60s...<br />
I chose a pinky red chambray and used a pale lavender shirt fabric for the contrast.<br />

Pretty skirt? well I have a confession to make: I never wear high skirts, especially with my top tucked inside.<br />
So why I hear you scream, did you chose to make a high waisted skirt? Well, I love Tilly's patterns. And I thought it would work better for me than what you see here.<br />
So even though I love the fabric, contrast and buttons, I do not think the shape does much for me. ie it puts emphasis on my mid section: belly and derriere, area that my low waisted 60s skirts are so good at slimming...<br />

Turn the pretty, demure, farmer's skirt into a cooler cuter shorter mini of course!<br />
Yep thats much more me. I havent done the necessary transformations yet, just tucked everything under my top and red belt here but I would like to :<br />
-lower the pocket<br />
-place the 2 buttons on each side of the pocket as they are a cute detail in exactly the right color.<br />
-turn the wraparound bulkiness into a cute a line mini, ie chop off some fabric around the waist.<br />
Do I have to be sent to bloggers hell for daring to hack into a 'Tilly from the sewing Bee' pattern?!<br />
Nah, she 'd agree with my stlylistic choices surely.<br />
Viva les 60s, mes cheris!<br />

When I am not sewing and reading lovely blogs, I 'm a happy and busy mum.<br />
Teaching to write and speak in English AND in French is one of my favorite things.<br />
So in paralell to that all encompassing activity, I fit in my beloved sewing projects: here the Miette skirt, Tilly pattern, where I am attempting to do stripy pockets in contrasting colors....it requires precision which isnt my thing at all. every night, I add a detail, sew a side seam, finish a hem.<br />

And then people on the blogosphere come up with new challenges, like the Great Gatsby Challenge, or the Mad men challenge and I want to join them all!<br />
Its tough being a creative mum. you feel guilty all the time if you dont use all your free time and energy at being a mum. At the same time, you are a better happier mum if you do things for yourself, creative things, so you have to learn to get everything to fit inside a day. Wouldnt change it for the world though.<br />
How do you guys do it?<br />

Wooo woo! finally finished my 1940 s dress for the Sew for victory sewalong, and I am very pleased with it:<br />

It shoukld have been an easy enough job, but the pattern being sized for teenagers, i decided to add inches to the width at the waist and make the bodice longer, which turned out to be unnecessary. I had to undo the basting (I always baste pieces together first in case of mistake, then its easy to rip off and try again for a better fit) and take the bodice in 3 times at the front darts, all the way in the centre , take the darts in at the back, oh and the side seams too!<br />

I could still probably take it in for the skirt but it might lose a certain je ne sais quoi...that 1940s shape.<br />

My favorite details are the bows on each shoulder and the accent given by the navy gingham trim (with tiny red hearts, so cute!) at the pockets, sleeves, bows and neckline.<br />

The sleeves are gathered and the bows should be ties that would tie the sleeves in gathers through a hole at the shoulder but it didnt look right, so i gathered the sleeves by hand and simply sewed my bows on top.<br />
hum, does it make sense?! <br />

Check out my bows!(erm..dont notice the pin still stuck in it though)<br />
(Tell you what ,1940s patterns seem to add kilos to your figure as opposed to 60s ones, i do not (sadly) have a matron's bust like that!)<br />

My darling dress is almost finished, and I can tell I am going to wear it to death when Spring finally arrives to England: it is so soft and comfy. The floral corduroy is laaaavely to wear.<br />
I learned a lot with this pattern as it isnt the easiest one to sew: lots of curves and symetry, as both panels surrounding the central yoke have to perfectly match each other in size and shape. I did bang my head against a wall a few times and am still malking final adjustments.<br />
I also realised the neckline needed to be open and seriously lowered so that will be my task today: I always read patterns too quickly and made view A instead of view B, ie the view that calls for a mao collar. <br />
Tweaks have already been numerous due to my weird body shape (!) , in no particular order: a round bum, a skinny back, a soft mummy-who-loves-cake-and-hates-exercise tummy, a small neck and narrow straight shoulders make for a lot of redrafting.<br />
I also took the waist in a bit to give it a curvier silouette and to emphasize hips as the way the dress fell was a bit too straight for my taste: I like both ease and a bit of fit in a garment.<br />
I am also about to enter another sewing contest: the <a href="http://www.coletterie.com/colette-patterns-news/the-laurel-sewing-contest-thousands-in-prizes-a-dozen-chances-to-win" target="_blank">Colette Laurel </a>sewalong.<br />
Well that only makes 3 projects in one go what with the 40s dress for <a href="http://luckylucille.com/2013/02/sew-for-victory-a-40s-sewalong/" target="_blank">Sew for Victory </a>and the <a href="http://www.tillyandthebuttons.com/p/mathilde-blouse-sewing-pattern.html" target="_blank">Mathilde blouse</a> sewalong!

Lately I had fun doing a mini photoshoot with my new tripod, so here are new photos of my little makes, for your eyes only.
I just love green and pink in the same outfit, here wearing my new pale pink tights found on sale in H&M during my last trip to London. Blue peter pan collar top found in a local market, camera brooch by my friend <a href="http://folksy.com/items/4165930-Shrink-plastic-camera-brooch" target="_blank">BeckyBoo</a>.<br />

My first attempt at sewing a mini skirt from a 60s pattern, for the bold: extra mini! Fully lined with a back zipper. Guess what is my new favorite photoshoot prop? correct, love my felt floppy hat from H &M!<br />

This is the dress I will attempt to make, (probably view 2 with the bows, <i>quelle surprise</i>,) for the Sew for Victory challenge/sewalong at Lucky Lucille, isnt it darling? <br />
(The girl on the left seems to be about to say, ''mmm, havent you put some weight on?'')<br />
Now I am thinking fabrics and a vintage style fake patchworh style cloth could look quite cute. or vintagy checks. or gingham. cherries? ahhh decisions. Lets hope I can make it in time for the deadline which is the 1rst of April.<br />
I am thinking of organising a sew 60s challenge myself, more coming soon...<br />
Got a little trim today, like the cliche says I feel like a new woman... <br />

A few Ipod photos of my latest make: the Paisley or denim skirt with Liberty 60s paisley pockets.<br />
Better photographs are coming soon taken with a Canon, a tripod, ect!<br />
Now if the weather could improve as well as the light in Northern uk that would help us greatly too!<br />
The liberty fabric used is called Burton and is totally 60s with its gorgeous navy, turquoise and electric blue paisley patterns.<br />
I will probably tweak this design a bit before putting it on sale on Etsy: I would like it to be lower on the hips and in a thicker softer denim fabric, real comfy.<br />
This skirt is very comfortable anyway, yet the denim fabric is quite thin ans slightly stiff, a skirt for spring as that kind of denim is light and will keep you cool.<br />
I wore it with electric blue tights found in H&m and a green Lodden liberty scalloped collar, done from a 60s pattern of course. Now I loooove scallops but they are damn hard to make, and this item isnt quite 100% perfect yet as you may notice: the end of the scallops are not exactly curved.<br />
but hey it was my first time, guys. dont throw stones at the scallops virgin! It will be on sale when it is PERFECT.
Love and 60s kissing x Lo<br />
