Clémence's babywearing wrap scrap N° : SM-025

Clémence contacted me to repurpose one of her babywearing wrap coupons into a bag model she had seen in my inventory. A wonderful collaboration resulted in this bag that skillfully blends whimsy and sophistication.

Clémence contacted me to repurpose one of her babywearing wrap coupons into a bag model she had seen in my inventory.

The direction was quickly determined, and we combined natural materials: silk from the dormant stocks of a prominent fashion designer and thick 100% organic cotton canvas. We chose the pattern placements together.

A wonderful collaboration resulted in this bag that skillfully blends whimsy and sophistication.

Thank you, Marie, it's splendid, and it will be perfect for this autumn. Thank you very much, and surely until next time.

Common questions

I'm clearing out a loved one's home, or passing on family belongings: is this something you can help with too?

Yes, absolutely. This is often a difficult moment: you don't want to throw everything away, but you can't keep it all either, and it's not always obvious what's worth transforming.

To sort through it, we look together at what has the most sentimental value or technical potential (sturdiness, thickness), with photos if that helps. You can send me a selection or bring everything you've found, and we move forward step by step during the discovery call.

What happens to my fabric during and after the transformation?

Your fabric is precious, I know that, and I treat it accordingly.

During the transformation, I only use what's needed for the piece we agreed on. Offcuts come back to you. I always tuck them into your return parcel, unless you tell me to keep or dispose of them.

In practice:

  • You send me your fabric (the whole garment, or the section you want transformed);
  • I work from your piece, making the most of every centimetre in a thoughtful way;
  • Any remaining offcuts travel back home with your finished creation.

If your fabric is very small or choices need to be made (where to position a motif, which section to prioritise), we talk it through before any cutting happens. Nothing is cut without prior agreement.

Is there a right time to start, or can I take as long as I need?

There's no good or bad time, only your own.

For a babywearing wrap, it can be transformed as soon as babywearing ends, or much later, once you've missed it enough to want to see it in a new form. For a loved one's clothing, there's no rush either: some people contact me a few weeks after a bereavement, others several years later. Take whatever time you need, I'll be here when you're ready.
