The actrice Shirley Temple died this week, in 1930 she became a worldfamous child star. Watching a piece of her film "bright eyes" I got the idea to make a Louisa dress with bloomers. Something she was wearing in the…
I prepared this little Louisa dress for Marte's pattern tour in December. But I apparently have horrible hand sewing skills as Gaëlle wore her little dress to daycare and came back with a button missing... oops! So this version has…
Hi! After my Louisa dress, another for my daughter. White jersey for the top (Léa needs a lot of comfort), fabrics with red apples for the bottom, and a green lining to separate. Because my daughter can be an angel…
Nu de winter-kleerkast toch al redelijk gevuld is. Was ik van plan om al iets voor de zomer te maken voor mijn dochter van 1,5. Deze zomer wordt ze 2. En dat je nu net wat meer patroontjes vindt vanaf…
I am usually fan of pure, simple and clean designs and fabrics. I wanted to try something else for this great pattern. Here we are. My first time of "more is more", and I love it! Mademoisellek www.Mademoisellekcoud.wordpress.com
As a boys mum I don't have the chance to use Compagnie M's patterns a lot. So I decided it was time for a twist on a pattern with a twist. So I drew my own version of the Louisa,…
Een dochter die iets nieuws wou, een patroontje dat klaar lag om te maken en een wedstrijd om aan mee te doen. De ideale mix om weer eens iets van onder de naaimachine te laten rollen. Omdat ik de Mara…
Here's my louisa dress. I chose a vintage and second hand fabric I had found months ago at "Emmaüs". Its colours were still very bright and mild so I decided to sew it in a very simple way : it…
At the eleventh hour I am entering this dress... A Mara/Louisa hybrid. I have combined the bib detail of the Mara pattern with the curved accent pieces of the Louisa pattern. I also added the contrast pieces on the front…
As soon as I saw the Louisa pattern, I knew that my daughters each had to have one immediately! The big girl got a Louisa in denim with cottons stars on the pocket. Because the denim is rather heavy, I…
A long sleeved version of the Louisa dress using a modified flutter sleeve from the Mara blouse. Using the new Wee Wander range from Sarah Jane as a feature panel on the front of the dress, the rest is made…
My daughter loves her Foxy Mara Tunic! The pattern is great, and I can't wait to make another version for spring -- if it ever comes. I originally intended to make this a longer dress, but I ran out of…
The bold colors, sharp lines, and almost Avant-Garde fabric manipulation used here all remind me of... The Jetsons. My husband said it looks like something you'd see in The Capitol (Hunger Games, anyone?). I honestly can't decide if I love…
After sewing the Louisa I found some fabric that I thought would look great with the Mara so I just had to sew a Mara for the contest too. I added some hand embroidered flowers to the yoke and fabric…
Toen Marte van Compagnie M haar wedstrijd aankondigde, was mijn eerste Louisa-jurk nog niet eens klaar en dacht ik er niet aan om deel te nemen. Maar gaandeweg zag ik meer en meer mensen hun deelname insturen, en begon het…

Op het allerlaatste moment besloot ik toch mee te doen met de Compagnie M. wedstrijd! Ik maakte een Louisa in een retro stofje voor mijn dochter Lola, met een aantal aanpassingen en toevoegingen. http://ettepet.blogspot.be/2014/02/een-last-minute-louisa.html
Thank you for taking a look at my Louisa dress! My first This is the very first Louisa dress I make and my first Compagnie M creation. It is even the very first winter dress I make. That means also…
Een leuk patroon die Louisa dress (hier afgewerkt volgens de tinny dress) ... en de kleine meid heeft enkel aandacht voor de o-zo-grote zakken om van alles in te verzamelen ... www.biebie.be
Today I quickly sewed up a little pink Louisa. Not for my own daughters: being in their early teens they've completely grown out of pink and flowers I'm afraid. But I'm sure our 3-year old niece will love to wear…
