Trip to Paris, Oct 2014

To me, Paris is a city of color and art with locals loving their nostalgic surroundings. The old vintage homes were re-used and re-design to such beautiful and romantic taste, the design concepts are still widely used in the modern world. It is also a city of love, it is so romantic during day and night.

When you first come to Paris, shopping shouldn't be your priority here because you will never know it better. Go to the flea market, talk to the people and walk around the entire Paris as much as you can, you will surely get to know this city better. 

Parisians are friendly and polite. Chat with them with polite tone, greet a little 'boujour' to the passersby, they will greet you warmly too. A 'merci beaucoup' to show your appreciation of their help. You will surely get very positive respond from them. 

Foods and patisserie desserts are really delicate made and delicious.  We just love to try as many things as possible.  Temptations seemed to every where in Paris.

We took many photos during this trip to Paris, here are some of them, at that moment.  ^v^

Overall, our first experience was really great and happy.  We hope to visit Paris again, of course !


I love all the flavors, what about you ?

Bonjour Paris !! Eiffel Tower Zakka Style Cushion Cover for beginner available in my Etsy

I have been taking these 2 fabrics in and out from my fabric closet many times and always put them back when I can't find any "solution" to the fabrics at all.  And quite luckily, I have got idea to "solve my problem" these few days, without much hesitation, I started to design and sew them within the same day.  

Since I have some request from FB friends to make something nice and easy for beginners from time to time.  I decided to make this cushion into my beginner level pattern. 

If you are new to sewing, it doesn't mean that you can’t make something as cute as those beautiful cushion displayed on the commercial windows.  Take my new Boujour Paris cushion cover pattern as an example, you will surely be amazed that you can actually make it easily.






The pattern is definitely a good learning exercise for you and most of all, you are going to get a nice and stylish cushion to brighten up your room.
