Listen to the advice of an experienced friend or get some guidance from our super team in our (pretty) Parisian boutiques.
Our team uses the Atelier Brunette patterns to sew clothing for our shoots with:
-The PFAFF EXPRESSION 720 sewing machine
- The PFAFF COVERLOCK 4.0 serger.
THE ESSENTIALS
SEWING SCISSORS
With clean and effortless cutting!
Follow this advice (with never ending loyalty): never use your pair of sewing scissors to cut paper (be careful, don’t be tempted!)
Your best ally for sewing your Atelier Brunette fabrics with precision.
TAPE MEASURE
The tool that has existed throughout history. It is used to take your measurements and to sew the right size according to the pattern you are sewing.
Choose LE tape measure that we have developed especially for you. It is the ideal measuring tool that fits perfectly into the Atelier Brunette universe.
THE THREAD CUTTER
The tool for tidying up your work once finished or throughout the sewing process.
Cutting the small threads that resist your sewing with quick and accurate precision is the key to a successful project.
We love thispractical ally for its small size and maneuverability.
PINS AND THE PIN CUSHION BRACELET
Choose them according to the thickness of your fabrics to place and cut your pattern but also to assemble two pieces to be sewn together.
Beware of pinsscattering in your living room or sewing space! Gather them around your wrist with the pin cushion bracelet (your feet will thank you!).
THE SEAM RIPPER
This small accessoryis very useful for correcting tiny sewing errors and more (wrong side/right side, questionable straight seam, opening buttonholes, etc.)
This tool is a sewing essential no matter what level sewer you are!
THE JAPANESE RULER
It is useful for drawing different hem lines from the pattern proposals you have selected or adding seam allowances if the sewing pattern doesn’t contain it.
Its uses for beginners: the multifunction sewing gauge, the multifunction ruler that accompanies you to transfer your seam allowances, hems and more if you like!
Your friends, and your colleagues will be amazed and you will be even more satisfied with your investment.
The cherry on the cake? Choose a woven label (to sew with love) to add the final touch to your project and invite you to already think about the next one!
WHAT TO SEW WITHOUT HESITATION OR PANIC
The sewing level should not be your driving force but a simple indicator.
Falling in love with a sewing pattern model, a piece that inspires you or a wardrobe that inspires you, these are the bases for surpassing yourself without a hitch (we have tested it again for you).
Our new boxes have just arrived and are ready to be used for your orders! They were designed as beautiful objects that we hope you will enjoy when receiving your future orders.
