la maison victor - part two...an unintentional mini Dalores skirt!

September 19, 2017


Hello! So this is post number two for the La Maison Victor blog tour. You can read all the details about La Maison Victor in my previous post here.  For this post, I am sharing the first Dalores skirt I made (which ended up just a little on the short side), along with a Miss Polly dress I made for Emily so we could twin!  As outlined in my previous post, I hadn't realised until after the fact, that the Dalores pattern uses two pattern sheets to achieve the length, so this skirt is the shortest length outlined in the pattern , but is still 20 cm shorter than intended...Oops! Anyway, I still like it and will wear it lots!

la maison victor - part one

September 19, 2017


Today I am taking part in the La Maison Victor world tour! La Maison Victor are a Belgian based pattern magazine that offer patterns for women, men and children in each issue. Last month marked the launch of the English translation of their magazine. Up until now, the magazines were available only in Dutch.  Isabelle, the founder of La Maison Victor, emailed me a couple of months ago asking if I would be interested in taking part in a tour to promote this event. I jumped at the chance!  The magazine is amazing value with 8 patterns included as well as other eye candy, for only around $11AUD. Crazy huh?  The magazine will be available in many newsagents from this Thursday 21st September. On this date, you can enter the search term 'La Maison Victor' into this site and it will list all the stockists of the magazine. If you can't wait, you can purchase the pattern online HERE.  I am excited to share two skirts I made using the Dalores pattern.
