And I&#8217;ll say it loud and proud : I am a geek !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After studying communication and language science, my course in life took me from my birth region of Provence to the United States (Washington DC : Hi to the Hughes !), then to England (Brighton), before returning to Provence, where I now live with my significant other and our daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was through LARP (Live Action Role Playing game) that I discovered sewing&#8230; Actually, no, it was through my grandmothers that I really discovered sewing : one of my grandmothers, Suzon, was a professional seamstress, and the other, Antoinette, sewed, knitted or crocheted all day long. However, it was through LARP that I really got interested in sewing. I started with a sheet, a needle and some thread, to create a pseudo-medieval dress, a bag and a cloak&#8230; 3 months later I had invested in a sewing machine and was busy making my first coat. To my great regret, neither of my grandmothers was still with us when my love for the art of sewing blossomed ; I would have loved to have chatted to them about our shared passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some years later, my love for sewing is as strong as ever. I&nbsp;started my blog, Couture Stuff, and then the free French directory of sewing patterns and tutorials, <a title=\"Free patterns and tutorials\" href=\"http:\/\/www.popcouture.fr\">Pop Couture<\/a>, in 2012.&nbsp;Since 2013, I have been working half-time at my tech support job in order to get Sac\u00f4tin up and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Sac\u00f4tin bag patterns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I create bags that I would like myself and, having very eclectic taste in bags, you will find a great diversity of patterns. For me, bags are <strong>the ultimate accessory, the most enjoyable, the accessory that really shows your personality, that allows you to play with styles, to add a touch of fantasy, to have fun and treat yourself<\/strong>. And, because a bag is useful for carrying around all your bits and bobs, it also needs to be practical!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Sac\u00f4tin pattern instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I write the instructions just as I would like to read them myself : <strong>I put myself in your shoes<\/strong>. I want clear, illustrated instructions that lead me step by step; thus they are something to which I pay particular attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello !
