Your path to a luxurious handmade wardrobe starts now...
It all started when I started sewing 20 years ago. I was obsessed with the idea of recreating the luxury garments that I couldn't afford. But unfortunately, I didn't have the skills or access to the resources at the time that would have allowed me to make it come true. Most of my sewing projects were far from my inspiration.
I realized that the resources that were generally available to home sewers would not enable me to create the garments I was dreaming of. I would have to dig deeper.
I read many books, old and new. I took pattern making and draping classes at prestigious fashion schools in New York and Paris. I went to see fashion exhibitions, and I looked inside all the luxury clothes I could get my hands on. To achieve my goal of a luxurious handmade closet, I learned how important it was to stay true to my inspiration by starting with an excellent pattern, pairing it with the right fabric, and selecting the best sewing techniques.
Since 2013, through my sewing blog, and later with Just Patterns, I document my journey and share what I learned along the way. I hope that you will join me and that together we will sew your dream wardrobe, one unique garment at a time!
I believe in empowering makers to up their skills and improve their sewing with each project. All our patterns have a Resource Page (just-patterns.com/resource-pages/), where I curate some of the amazing information provided by other members of the sewing community and we add specific tutorials for more complex steps.
Happy sewing,
Delphine
