Morgane's babywearing wrap N° : SM-042 , SM-043

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 🙂

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!

Marion's favorite

At the end of 2023, I offered to make Marion a custom piece using a fabric she had admired in my shop to thank her for graciously allowing me to test her coaching services. A piece that fits her like a glove and perfectly embodies her style and personality.

Common questions

How much fabric do I need to provide?

It depends entirely on the piece you choose, but here are some concrete reference points:

  • Pocket mirror (Ocebo'): a 6×6 cm piece is enough;
  • Coin purse, wallet: roughly 20×20 cm to 40×30 cm depending on the model;
  • Clutch, compact crossbody: approximately 40×40 cm to 60×60 cm;
  • Medium-sized bag: from 50×80 cm upwards, depending on the silhouette;
  • Slippers (size EU 38): 21×60 cm for the low version, 55×92 cm for the ankle version;
  • Bomber jacket (size EU 38): 1.1 m × width (65 cm min) without sleeves, 2.2 m with.

A question I often hear about newborns: is a onesie or a small square of baby clothing enough? Yes, more than enough for a small piece (Ocebo', coin purse); for a larger bag, it's completed with a compatible fabric, always with your approval. There's also the Signature finish from the Essentials range, which makes it possible to use several small pieces together.
And of course, several fabrics can be combined too (the same person's clothes from different periods, or several siblings' garments, for example).

The good news: I also work with small pieces. If your fabric is on the tight side, certain finishes allow me to cut in free or geometric shapes and waste almost nothing. We work it out together during the discovery call, before any decisions are made.

And if you're not sure exactly how much fabric you have? Just take a photo, bring it to our first chat, and we'll figure out what's possible.

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 my fabric really be transformed?

Most materials (leather, wool, babywearing wraps, a loved one's clothing, sports jerseys or activewear, baby clothes and comfort toys, a wedding dress or suit…) can be reused.
During the call, I'll clearly tell you what's feasible, or not.
