Bonjour .... My name is Jenny Eve , I'm French, I live both in Sweden and France .
I create garments and accessories , and I love to take photographies , trying to make paintings with my camera . These 2 activities are my hand made imaginary world where you are welcome .
All garments and accessories are made by me and they are one of a kind .
Many of them are solely hand stitched , without mechanical sewing, because I don't like using the sewing machine so much ( but sometimes it is necessary ) .
I think that hand made sewing is more decorative .
When I sew by hand I use thick threads, like ornaments / embroideries .
I travel with my work in progress , sewing , knitting , embroidering on trains and planes .
I admire the hand made work by generations of women in all the world which preceded us , I love the poetry and the imperfections found in this work.
I love beautiful old materials , finest and precious antique lace , vintage ethnic treasuries . I collect and recycle them in my creations .
To create new garments and accessories with old materials, is to give them a second , a new and different life, to bring them out of oblivion.
I work with new materials too , and the quality of them is a priority for me .
I hate the cheap , the vulgar , the syntetic lace , the too short , the too small , the " without form like a potatoes bag " " , people who make "garments" which look like dish towels or cream puffs .... :D
I have a lot of respect for the feminine body .
Many years ago , I studied 3 years in Paris the techniques specific to French Haute Couture.
I try my best , to create poetic garments , for unique women ....because we are all unique and i want you to feel like a goddess in my creations.
Here on Etsy, I share many beautiful moments with customers all over the world .
Thank you, all you wonderful women :)
My way of working takes a long time , I sometimes stop to count hours , after many days spent to realize a creation .
I cannot make creation for 50 USD !!!!!!!
To work with beautiful materials , to sew by hand in Europe , to create one of a kind garments, costs money and time .
If you understand that , you're welcome and thanks a lot for your interest in my work .
I'm not a shop " handmade creation by myself or a member of my shop" ( but in reality mass production ) made in China and I don't exploit people 15 hours / day.
