At H+H Cologne, I spotted a circular dress. That’s right: a dress, not a skirt! ‘That’s comfy, twirly and fast’ was my first thought! So today I gave it a try. It’s the perfect pattern to go on holiday isn’t it?…
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…
Today I’m sharing a final overview of the Nore dress and T-shirt pattern tour with you. I’m so excited about your creations. Really! The Nore seems to be a pattern that bring out the best in you. How did you…
As you noticed Nosh sponsored the launch of the Nore dress & T-shirt pattern. But I’m not the only one to benefit from their generosity! Nosh sponsors 5 vouchers each worth 55euro specially for you and that’s why a mini contest has…
Today I’m introducing the Nore dress & T-shirt pattern tour. Actually I’ll try a totally new format! In stead of writing a blogpost every day, you can find the Nore dress & T-shirt tour creations on the homepage. Easy as that!…
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…
+++ Update +++ The Judith dress is a big success. Therefore we would love to thanks for all your sweet reactions on our free pattern. You can’t believe how much this support means to us. If you tried the Judith and you…
Sometimes I just don’t find the energy to take pictures of my creations. I have so many ‘unblogged projects’. You can’t imagine. But then all of the sudden spring is in town and we all get a vitamine D boost. That’s…
I’ve been working for Compagnie M. about 3,5 years now and in this period I’ve written some free stuff. On reason or the other I never gathered all this interesting extras on one page. Till next week! It’s just so nice to…
UPDATE: the workshop on the 10th of June is sold out. We added a new workshop on the 6th of May. This time you are welcome at our place in Hove, Belgium. You can subscribe on our events page. Original blogpost:…
