Morgane is a seamstress in her spare time, but she wanted to treat herself by having two custom pieces created from a snood made from a babywearing wrap she owned. A sort of “just sit back and relax while someone else does the sewing“ kind of deal 🙂

Once the basic project details were decided (patterns, materials, and dominant colors), I had complete creative freedom for the cutting, choosing the exact materials, their distribution, and more.

It was an exciting journey, a mix of enthusiasm, inspiration, and the fear of making a mistake... but it seems to have hit the mark!

I'm happy with the whole ensemble [...] it looks great and makes a beautiful duo. Thank youuuuu!

Marie's babywearing wrap scraps

Marie initially bought a pair of children's booties from me that I had sewn for my shop, then asked me to make a pair of booties for her... Finally, two pairs of matching low-cut slippers for her husband, who was jealous of hers, and their youngest to have ones “like daddy's.“

Michèle's desire

Michèle is my mother and one of my earliest supporters. Not only did she occasionally indulge in creations born from my inspiration, but as a lifelong bag enthusiast, she also placed a few custom orders. Recently, she commissioned me for a pair of booties.

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.

Can I order a bespoke transformation as a gift for someone?

Yes — and it's one of the most thoughtful gifts I've seen people give.

Offering someone a piece made from a fabric that belongs to them (or that belonged to a loved one) is a rare and deeply considered gesture. It takes a little organisation, but it's entirely doable.

A few practical points:

  • You contact me and manage the whole project — the recipient doesn't need to be involved if you want to keep the surprise;
  • You'll need to get hold of the fabric discreetly;
  • I can help you choose the right model if you're unsure what would suit the person best;
  • A thoughtful gift wrap can be arranged on request.

Tell me about your idea during a discovery call, and together we'll imagine something truly unforgettable.

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.
