Until, with courage, she decided to change her life. And to rediscover the qualities of a true artisan craft, which had so fascinated her as a child . Now Sara , after leaving a permanent job, has a real online tailoring shop, where she showcases her products for children, women, and men . And, always combining the ancient artisan craft with the most modern technology, Sara has also become a fashion blogger, with a blog, Maison-shabby-chic.com , where she presents patterns and lessons with tutorials. From sewing a cushion to making a coat or a tablecloth.

Each lesson comes with a pattern in five sizes that can be ordered online to make the product. And every week, a new tailoring tutorial appears on her blog.
