Let's play a little...2020 will be the year of the FAUVE bob!
.Hello everyone!!!
2020... a new year that begins and which will be a pivotal year for Maison Fauve. I had told you about my desire to devote myself entirely and definitively to sewing and my brand, thus leaving behind my job as a dentist. It took me time, because a change of life cannot be done on a whim or a whim (well, I don't have that temerity...). So I would have devoted my year 2019 to preparing my departure, to making my reconversion not an escape forward but the culmination of work that will be long-term. And here we are... this new year is the year of this leap into the void with my head full of ideas, my heart firmly anchored and with the conviction that it is possible! So I want to celebrate with you this key event for me and Maison Fauve, by offering you a gift. And if you're in a playful mood, here's a rather cool competition...sew my latest fashion craze, my little crush from the start of the year:the FAUVE bob !
A bob…what a funny idea, isn’t it! And yet, I’ve been wanting to enrich the Maison Fauve wardrobe with an accessory for a long time, a piece that’s quickly sewn, economical in fabric and that will swing the look. So here’s a little pattern that will make your outfit sparkle: a fully lined bob, to be personalized to excess, or even to match with your jacket or coat (because it’s the perfect opportunity to sew those famous scraps that are patiently waiting in your basket). The pattern is available in 3 sizes. It can be sewn in gabardine, wool or even coated canvas…because this is the new thing in recent seasons, the bob is no longer a piece reserved for summer. It can be very elegant, hmmm I’m not going to go so far as to say that it’s a sophisticated accessory, although if you add a tulle veil or a fine ribbon, anything is possible! In any case, I hope that this model will inspire you and give a perfectly offbeat and totally contemporary finishing touch to your outfit. 
WELL...AND WHAT ABOUT THIS COMPETITION?!!!!
As I was telling you, the boss's release is an opportunity to have a little fun. And I've gathered some great gaming partners to spoil you:- the designer jewelry brand Ilabella (if you have been following me for a while you will definitely know the superb work of my friend Marguerite)
- Stragier haberdashery which is full of wonders, and for which I have made a small selection of compatible bob fauve fabrics to be found HERE
- the wool brand Edie Grim , a family business specializing in fabrics for coats and other "beautiful pieces" (and I have at home a coupon of absolutely divine vanilla wool waiting to be cut). And don't hesitate to pass the word to your non-sewing friends, because the brand also offers magnificent coats that you can customize and are made in France (see the wonders here )
