The Nore contest in cooperation with Nosh was a big success! You can see al the creations on the contest page. It’s always the icing on the cake for a pattern designer to see that both mums and kids love the…
Some of you might have noticed: I’m writing a book… and it’s not a sewing book! I have the impression that some blogger struggle from time to time when it comes to taking pictures of their creations. For several reasons: because it’s…
As the title already explains, I decided to move the deadline of the contest. We had some difficulties with the Belgian post the last two weeks. Grmbl!!! It took some of my pattern pattern more than a week to arrive….
Update: in the meantime, I’m selling knitting patterns with a better fit and a customised pattern generator. For this reason I took the free Janne dress offline. If you do like the design, you might like the Quokka sweater too….
It was Jill that asked me whether I wanted to sew a Juliette dress. For this new pattern she collaborated with Suz from Sewpony. A great match it seems. The Juliette pattern is a super cute pattern but… not for…
Germany kind of discovered my patterns. Hooray. I have more and more German followers and that’s why it was about time to think of a crazy action specially for the German seamstresses. I filled 3 big boxes with my 19 paper patterns (3…

Pattern launch alert! Today I’m releasing my very first dress pattern… for knits: the Nore dress. But actually I could say Nore dress and T-shirt as the dress can easily be shortened. The Nore dress and T-shirt by Compagnie M. is a…
While I’m preparing the pattern launch of the Nore dress, I prefer to write a seperate blogpost about my last Nore first. When I got my hands on several solid jersey Nosh fabrics, I just loved this colour combination a lot….
Sometimes I get my hands on fabrics that just need a super basic pattern. That’s exactly the case with this new Nosh fabric. It’s so beautiful and I don’t know if it’s just me, but it seems to be even softer…
The Nore pattern is a versatile one. I think after seeing these posts, you can’t ignore that anymore… After the test, I all of the sudden realised that the pattern is perfect to sew a quick nightgown. Especially when you select…
Maybe it’s not correct to present my new pattern as the Nore dress. You can perfectly use the Nore pattern for quick t-shirts too. This version is an ‘all the way’ example sewn with two other Nosh fabrics. If you’ve…
I don’t know how long this project has been on my to-design-list. Let’s say: forever! All I wanted was a quick project for knits with a Compagnie M. touch. The Nore dress exactly turned out like I had in my…
