I am Estelle, born and raised in Paris, France and recently moved to the US. I am a self taught knitter, crocheter, seamstress and embroider. And even though I only started to craft 2 years ago, I often had requests from my entourage. I can not tell you how many time I heard: “YOU MADE THIS????”
So much I decided to have an Etsy shop for everyone else to enjoy!
I see a finished object as a construction of volumes. Maybe because I made so much scale models and blue prints back when I was in architecture school? One sure thing, I learned to seek precision and excellence in my work.
If I had to define my style, I would say “Sophisticated and fun”, I love simple lines and classic looks with a little je ne sais quoi.
I am also a major geek and play a lot of video games from consoles to PC games that inspire my work. A lot.
I also love languages and words. Depending on my audience I will choose to write articles in French or English. Do not hesitate to contact me if you want a tutorial in the language of your choice. Your choice has to be English or French though
Well that’s enough about myself for now!
Thank you for stopping by!

Hey there! Found you through Ravelry. Just wanted to say that your Companion Cube pillow is absolutely amazing! My husband and I just loved Portal and the pillow is just so clever! *must have one!* xD
Also your aprons are the cutest in world! I love the pockets in them. (Going to ask the Hubby for one for our anniversary).
Anywho! Have a great rest of the day!!
