VeroSewsStuff Intermediate FRANCE Member since 11/12/09 Posts: 64	Login to reply to this post 1 member likes this. Date: 11/14/12 6:01 AM Hi there ! I'm going to sew the Origami coat from Lalimaya (Small French pattern company). I played with my drawing software and I just can't pick a version between the last 4 ones I selected. So... I put up a small poll. The vote happens on my French blog, so all numbers will be adding up in one place. I created a special page there for English readers but both “French” and “English” votes are recorded there. Poll for origami coat You can find the details (Fabrics, pattern) on my English blog : Origami coat : help needed ! Same thing in French : Manteau Origami : votez ! Many thanks in advance for your input. The designer of the pattern has voted... But I'm not sure I should tell you which one she picked, I don't want to influence you ! ------ Blog in English : http://www.couturestuff.com Bog in French : http://www.couturestuff.fr

But prefer no.1 if you don't want to try doing no.2 sleeves on it. ------ Sandy in the UK A practitioner of the Chop, Chop, Sew, Sew method of sewing (otherwise known as Make It Up in Your Head!)

It's a gorgeous pattern, I'm off to have a look at what else they have. The last French patterns I had on my want-list became unavailable before I got to buying them, so I might take the plunge with this one. ------ Mel (Melbourne, Australia)

I agree with all your choices and that's my problem I'll close the poll on monday. There are already 96 voters so I guess the vote trend will stay pretty much the same now. Looks like it's going to be #2 by a good margin. (which was also the choice of the pattern designer by the way).

Mel.J : I suppose you're talking about "Au bonheur des petites mains" ? I was pretty bummed about it also because I didn't get the chance to buy one of their unique patterns before they shut down. ------ Blog in English : http://www.couturestuff.com Bog in French : http://www.couturestuff.fr

I had a long wishlist, but because of the language barrier had decided to wait & see a few reviews. I was surprised (and disappointed) that they disappeared, since their designs were so fabulous. I suppose it's unrealistic to hope that someone will re-open that business, but I think if the patterns were translated (like Maria did with Shop Onion) they would have a much bigger market. One day I might have a go at recreating some of the ones I really liked. Good luck with your coat. ------ Mel (Melbourne, Australia)
