"et tch'ic et tch'ac et tch'ic et tch'ac, han han,et tch'ic et tch'ac, les pouces en avant les coudes en arrière". extrait du 1er roman de Dalya Daoud dans lequel on parle dégustation, on danse dans une fête de village, où l'on tord son corps jusqu'à une position absurde. Dalya Daoud était journaliste, co-fondatrice du site d'infos Rue89 Lyon, Rédactrice en chef.Désormais, elle consacre son temps à l'écriture de fictions et notamment à l'écriture de ce roman édité au Nouvel Attila éditions le Seuil. A propos Chemin des brigands logent dix familles, la plupart issues du Maghreb, dans un lotissement ouvrier bâti à côté d'une usine de textile. En marge du village, de ses bars, de son église, de sa ferme et de son lama, voici leur histoire. On s'attache à Bassou, fils chéri de Lalla, qui grandit sans trouver sa place au bourg ni chez ses cousins de banlieue, ainsi qu'au clan des filles, Olfa et Jihane en tête, dans leurs velléités d'émancipation des mœurs familiales et d'intégration à la grande ville. Ce roman vrai d'un micro quartier populaire, de la dimension du mythe, se lit comme une enquête, avec tous les éléments de l'harmonie comme de la discorde, sans que ses habitants, confrontés au miroir social, ne sachent jamais s'ils sont des brigands ou des perdants. Un hymne à la joie, musical et charnel. Un livre chaudement recommandé par RadioVino

Wie konnte es dazu kommen, dass zwei der vier Töchtern, die die Tunesierin Olfa hat, sich dem IS angeschlossen haben? Die tunesische Regisseurin Kaouther Ben Hania geht dem in diesem außergewöhnlichen Film nach, in dem Dokumentarisches mit Fiktionalem überlagert wird. Olfa und ihre verbliebenen zwei Töchter treten zwei Schauspielerinnen gegenüber, die die verschwundenen Töchter spielen. Die Vergangenheit wird rekonstruiert und kommentiert.

Muziek bij de documentaire Four Daughters, of zoals de film in het Frans heet: Les filles d'Olfa, een wat curieuze maar ook indringende mix van documentaire en film van Kaouther Ben Hania. ‘De dochters van Olfa' dus, en als je dat begrip noemt dan weten ze in Tunesië meteen wie je bedoelt: de eigenzinnige alleenstaande moeder Olfa en haar vier dochters. Van wie er twee radicaliseerden, zich aansloten bij ISIS en uiteindelijk in 2016 in de gevangenis belandden. Regisseur Kaouther Ben Hania won het vertrouwen van Olfa en maakte deze intrigerende film, waarin ze Olfa en de twee achtergebleven dochters laat vertellen over dat levensverhaal, samen met twee actrices, die de twee ontbrekende dochters spelen en af en toe flink tekeer gaan tegen de echte Olfa. De ingetogen muziek bij Les Filles d'Offa wordt vooral bepaald door de sfeer van de strijkers die je hoort. De score is van de hand van de in 1986 geboren Tunesische filmcomponist Amin Bouhafa, die al vanaf zijn 15e filmmuziek schrijft, voor film, maar ook voor televisie. Dat is jong, maar Bouhafa was er op zeer jonge leeftijd bij, op zijn 7e ging hij naar de muziekhogeschool van Tunis, waar hij op zijn 12e al een diploma Arabisch muziek haalde. En trouwens niet alleen in de muziek ligt zijn fort, hij is ook gediplomeerd informatica-technicus. En inmidddels ook al de nodige prijzen in de wacht gesleept, voor zijn muziek bij de film Timbuktu bijvoorbeeld ontving hij een César.

OLFAS TÖCHTER (Les Filles d'Olfa) lief am Filmfestival von Cannes im Wettbewerb und wurde mit dem OEil d'or für den besten Dokumentarfilm ausgezeichnet. Das Leben der Tunesierin Olfa, Mutter von vier Töchtern, oszilliert zwischen Licht und Schatten. Eines Tages verschwinden ihre beiden ältesten Töchter. Regisseurin Kaouther Ben Hania setzt professionelle Schauspielerinnen ein, um die Abwesenheit der beiden zu kompensieren. Dadurch wird ein außergewöhnlicher Filmmechanismus in Gang gesetzt, der die Geschichte von Olfa und ihren Töchtern enthüllt. Eine intime Reise voller Hoffnung, Rebellion und Gewalt beginnt, in deren Verlauf Tradition, Generationskonflikte und Schwesternschaft beobachtet und die Fundamente unserer Gesellschaft hinterfragt werden. Wie mir dieser Dokumentarfilm gefallen hat, könnt Ihr Euch in meinem Microfazit anhören.  Bildrechte: © Twenty Twenty Vision

La cinéaste tunisienne Kaouther Ben Hania, présente son nouveau film. Lʹhistoire vraie dʹOlfa, tunisienne mère de quatre filles. Sa vie a basculé lorsque les deux aînées sont parties. Pour révéler cette déchirure, la réalisatrice filme la maman et ses benjamines restées auprès d'elle, tout en faisant incarner les disparues et Olfa elle-même par des actrices. Un film dʹune extraordinaire richesse sur lʹadolescence, lʹémancipation et la place des femmes. A voir en salles romandes dès le 5 juillet 2023. Kaouther Ben Hania est l'invitée d'Anne Laure Gannac.

C'est un fait divers qui a défrayé la chronique en Tunisie en 2015 : le départ de Tunisie de deux adolescentes ayant rejoint Daech pour faire le jihad. Leur mère, Olfa Hamrouni, avait remué ciel et terre et mobilisé les médias pour retrouver ses deux filles aînées. La réalisatrice tunisienne Kaouther Ben Hania a vu dans cette histoire plus qu'un fait divers : l'histoire d'une malédiction, ou la reproduction de la violence, du patriarcat, de génération en génération. Elle a convaincu Olfa et ses deux filles cadettes, Eya et Tayssir, de participer à un film en compagnie d'actrices : deux jeunes jouant les filles aînées disparues, « dévorées par le loup », et la star Hend Sabri interprétant Olfa.« Les filles d'Olfa » est sans doute l'œuvre la plus impressionnante de la compétition du dernier festival de Cannes, impressionnante par son ampleur, son ambition et son dispositif qui mêle fiction et documentaire, analyse très fine et profonde de la reproduction de la violence, et déconstruction politique et sociale. À l'affiche de notre cinéma ce samedi, le journal du cinéma et la correspondance de Romain Chanson en Afrique du Sud sur la 3ème saison de la série « Shuga ».

  With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   Many of our creative businesses start as passion projects because we truly love what we are doing.  However, we all know by now that running a business takes more than passion.

Throughout the episode, you'll hear so many nuggets of wisdom from Leanne about social media strategy.     Here are some of the social media pointers we dig into: 1.Keep it simple.  Instead of managing 4 social media poorly, cut it back and focus on the one you are most familiar and comfortable with. 2.Be sure that you keep alert to changes happening on the platform you use because the social media landscape changes fast and often. 3.Post consistently and stay engaged with your audience. 4.Lean into your competitive advantage: YOU are your brand and you have that advantage over the big box stores. 5.Use ChatGPT for ideation, not as a replacement for blog posts/content.   Some tips for being efficient when managing your social media strategy: 1.Enlist the help of apps like Trello and Canva. 2.Use a content calendar to reference what you want to focus on. 3.Batch your content. 4.Schedule your content in advance.   We also touched on what's hot right now in the social media universe (May 2023): (1) Short Form video and (2) Facebook moving away from Business Pages and Groups and into profiles that were converted from Individual pages into Professional Mode and (3) the rise of TikTok (4) live selling (CommentSold).   About Leanne: Leanne Pressly is an accomplished entrepreneur and businesswoman with extensive experience in the craft and hobby industry.

Un film puissant, complexe et nuancé qui se déploie à partir d'un dispositif cinématographique vertigineux The post Kaouther Ben Hania – Les Filles d’Olfa #Cannes2023 appeared first on Fred Film Radio.

Banel et Adama, de la Franco-Sénégalaise Ramata-Toulaye Sy, Les filles d'Olfa, de la Tunisienne Kaouther Ben Hania ou Goodbye Julia, du Soudanais Mohamed Kordofani, ce sont tous des portraits de femmes. Des femmes de toutes origines et de tous les pays qui brisent les codes ou rêvent d'émancipation, mais il y a aussi des hommes qui s'interrogent sur le patriarcat. Ces thèmes sont récurrents dans de nombreux films au Festival de Cannes. Sans doute le reflet de l'onde de choc post-#Metoo, mais aussi l'arrivée de femmes réalisatrices qui portent un autre regard sur le monde. De notre envoyée spéciale à Cannes,Des portraits de femmes de toutes origines et de tous les pays qui brisent les codes ou rêvent d'émancipation, des hommes qui s'interrogent sur le patriarcat. Le thème est récurrent dans de nombreux films au Festival de Cannes. La réalisatrice sénégalaise Ramata-Toulaye Sy a foulé le tapis rouge samedi 20 mai avec Banel et Adama, son premier long métrage. Une histoire d'amour fusionnel dans un village isolé du nord du Sénégal et un beau portrait de femmes dont le désir de vivre une vie autonome se heurte aux traditions ancestrales. Un film tourné en langue peule dans le Fouta-Toro, la région sénégalaise dont sont originaires ses parents.► À lire aussi : Festival de Cannes: qui est la Franco-Sénégalaise Ramata-Toulaye Sy, en lice pour la Palme d'or?« L'ancien monde se meurt et le nouveau tarde à venir » Quelques heures auparavant, c'est Kaouther Ben Hania qui présentait Les filles d'Olfa. Le film mêle fiction et documentaire, l'adaptation d'un fait divers qui défraya la chronique en Tunisie, en 2016. La radicalisation de deux sœurs adolescentes partie rejoindre l'organisation État islamique en Libye où elles ont été arrêtées et incarcérées. La réalisatrice a retrouvé la mère de ces deux jeunes femmes, Olfa, ainsi que ses deux filles cadettes. Elles retracent leur vie, racontent l'héritage de la violence en faisant appel à des actrices pour incarner les scènes les plus éprouvantes. « L'ancien monde se meurt et le nouveau monde tarde à venir. Et dans ce clair-obscur apparaissent les monstres », explique la réalisatrice Kaouther Ben Hania. « La Tunisie, c'est un peu ça. Quand on parle des filles d'Olfa, elles étaient “dévorées par le loup, par le monstre”, comme je le dis dans le film. Ce sont ces monstres-là en fait qui apparaissent dans le clair-obscur. » ► À lire aussi : Ouverture du Festival de Cannes: ambitions et contradictions d'un monde en images et en mouvementTravail sur soi Un très beau premier film soudanais également dans la section Un certain regard, Goodbye Julia, de Mohamed Kordofani. À la veille de la division du Soudan, une histoire d'amitié entre deux femmes que tout pourrait opposer. Pour le réalisateur, c'est le référendum sur l'indépendance du Soudan du Sud en 2011, qui a été le déclencheur du film. « C'est un moment qui m'a fait réfléchir. Il n'y a pas d'issue quand une nation décide de se séparer », relate Mohamed Kordofani. « C'était clair qu'il y avait du racisme entre le Nord et le Sud. Le Soudan souffre du tribalisme, du racisme. Moi-même, j'ai hérité de ce racisme. Je n'en avais même pas conscience, mais j'ai travaillé sur moi-même. C'est le chemin que fait un de mes personnages, de mon film. La société souffre aussi d'un héritage de masculinité et de patriarcat sur lesquels nous devons travailler. » Changer les regards, un mouvement de fond, reflet de l'onde de choc post-#MeToo. 

Esta semana hemos decidido que queríamos hablar de buen cine, y por eso aprovechando que tenemos anunciados los directores que competirán en la próxima edición del festival de Cannes hemos decidido escoger a 3 de ellos para acercarnos más a sus filmografías Vamos a arrancar en con la figura de un director inglés: Ken LOACH y su visión de la guerra civil española en “Tierra y Libertad” de 1995, en nuestro repaso nos acercamos a la figura de Hirozaku Koreeda con su obra de 1998 titulada Wandafuru raifu, o en su versión internacional “After Life” y terminamos el repaso de vuelta en Estados Unidos con la película ya considerada de culto de Todd Haynes titulada “Velvet Goldmine” Todo ello, como siempre, sin spoilers. La septuagésimo sexta edición del festival internacional de Cannes se celebrará del 16 al 27 de Mayo en la ciudad francesa. Pero ya se han dado a conocer los nombres que conformarán las distintas secciones. Centrándonos en la sección oficial, que abrirá “Jeanne Du Barry” de la directora y actriz francesa Maiwenn, para el que no la ubique, es la directora de Polisse, ADN y Mi amor. Con Polisse y Mi amor ya estuvo en Cannes, la primera ganó el premio del jurado en 2011 y la segunda el premio a la mejor actriz para Emmanuelle Bercot. Vamos con las mujeres que competirán por la palma de Oro: Jessica HAUSNER, una larga conocida del festival presenta Club Hero tras haber competido tres veces en la sección paralela “Un Certain Regard” y otra en la oficial, en 2019 con Little Joe. Su obra más famosa quizás, Lourdes, compitió en Venecia. Justine Trie nos trae Anatomía de una caída tras haber competido en 2019 con el reflejo de Sibyl Catherine BREILLAT luchará por la palma con L’ete dernier tras haber competido en 2007 con Una vieja amante. También francesa es Catherine CORSINI que con Le reotur, protagonizada por la gran Virgine Ledoyen, regresa a Cannes tras competir con La Repetition en 2001 y La Fracture en 2021 por la que ganó la palma Queer por defender los valores LGBTQ+ Alice ROHRWACHER directora italiana nominada a los pasados Oscar por el cortometraje Le Pupille y muy famosa por Lazzaro Feliz con la que ganó a mejor guión en Cannes también ganó el premio del jurado con Le Maraville y llega ahora con La Chimera, una cinta protagonizada por Issabella Rosellini y Josh O’Connor La tunecina Kaouther BEN HANIA con Les filles D’Olfa compitió hace años en un certain regard con Atala Kay Ifrit pero llega ahora con mayores laureles tras su celebrada “El hombre que vendió su piel" Entre los nombres también hay espacio para una debutante Ramata-Toulaye SY, que tras un corto celebrado nos trae Banel e Adama. Esas son ellas, respecto a los hombres hay varios grandes pesos pesados, como Jonathan Glazer que aterriza por primera vez en La Croisette con The Zone of Interest 10 años después de su ya convertida en película de culto Under the skin. El mítico finlandés Aki Kaurismaki nos trae su nueva película Kuolleet lehdet tras haber pasado en otras cuatro ocasiones por la sección oficial. Kaurismäki es uno de los grandes nombres del cine por sus películas El Havre o “Un hombre sin pasado”, por la que llegó a estar nominado al Oscar. Sigamos con grandes nombres con el americano Wes Anderson, 7 nominaciones a los premios Oscar para este genio del posmodernismo cinematográfico- él ya sabe lo que es ganar en Berlin y ya sabe lo que es ganar en Venecia, con estos credenciales espera que a la tercera sea la vencida y levantar la palma de oro en su tercer intento tras Moonrise Kingdom y The French Dispatch. El aleman Win Wenders también competirá con Perfect Days en su décimo paseo por la sección oficial tras haber ganado la palma de oro por Paris, Texas en 1984, a mejor director por El cielo sobre Berlin y el premio del jurado por la secuela “Tan lejos tan cerca" Otro de los grandes nombres es el del italiano Nanni Moretti que ya sabe lo que es ganar con la habitación del hijo en 2001 vuelve por novena vez con el sol del futuro El turco Nuri Bilge Ceylam, que no sabe hacer películas cortas, es uno de los viejos conocidos. Palma de oro al mejor cortometraje por Koza, Gran Premio del jurado por Uzak en 2002, premio Fipresci por Los climas en 2006, mejor director en 2008 por tres monos, Gran Premio del jurado en 2011 por Erase una vez en Anatolia y palma de oro en 2014 por Winter Sleep. También regresó en 2018 con el real salvaje y ahora lo hace con About dry glasses De Turquía a Vietnam con TRAN ANH Hùng director de Tokio Blues y El olor de la papaya verde. Ahora vuelve con La pasión de Dodin Bouffant por primera vez en sección oficial tras haber pasado por secciones paralelas. Marco Bellocchio es otro de los grandes conocidos del festival desde que compitiese en 1980 con Salto al vacío. Desde entonces ha competido en 6 ocasiones y ha ganado una palma honorífica. Ahora lo hace con Rapito. Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire compite con Black Files tras competir en la sección paralela en 2008 y ganar el Regard Hope Award por Johny Mad Dog. Y compite junto con El chino Bin Wang famoso por The ditch compite con Jeunesse, el brasileño Karim AÏNOUZ con Firebrand. Fuera de competición los nuevos trabajos de Kim Jee-woon, Frederic Tellier, Martin Scorsese, la nueva cinta de Indiana Jones dirigida por James Mangold, la nueva serie de Sam Levinson tras euphoria titulada The Idol y la nueva cinta de Pixar titulada “Elemental” a cargo de Peter Sohn La representación española se queda con la esperada nueva película de Victor Erice titulada cerrar los ojos, que lo hará en la sección Cannes Premiere y un visionado especial del cortometraje de Almodovar con Pedro Pascal y Ethan Hawke el esperado Strange way of Life Y luego tenemos nuestros tres directores escogidos en competición que vamos a desgranar poco a poco. TIERRA Y LIBERTAD David Carr es un joven comunista inglés en paro. Tras acudir a un mitin decide que es hora de actuar y deja Liverpool para alistarse en la guerra civil española dentro del bando republicano. Allí lucharán por la libertad, pero pronto se darán cuenta que dentro del mismo bando cada uno tiene sus propios intereses. Ken Loach dirige esta cinta protagonizada por Ian Hart pero con Iciar bollaín y Rosana PAstor por el lado español en una película que compitió en Cannes en 1995 consiguiendo el premio Fipresci y el del jurado Ecuménico en una edición donde competía Historias del Kronen, Kids, El Odio o Ed Wood y que ganó Underground de Emir Kusturica. La cinta ganó el Cesar a película extranjera, 8 premiso del cine europeo incluyendo mejor película y el Goya a Rosana Pastor como mejor actriz revelación. AFTER LIFE En After Life el purgatorio es un lugar extraño, la gente al morir debe habitar un lugar abandonado y con la ayuda de unos guías examinar sus recuerdos con el propósito de buscar el momento más feliz de su existencia. Ese recuerdo será recreado en una película y será el único que se lleven con ellos al resto de la eternidad olvidando todo lo demás. El japonés Hirozaku Koreeda escribe y dirige esta cinta que ganó el premio Fipresci en San Sebastian antes de competir en 6 ocasiones, este año será la séptima, por la palma de Oro que consiguió en 2018 con Shoplifters. Rocío te llevarás tú esta película contigo a la eternidad. VELVET GOLDMINE Nos situamos en Londres durante los años 70. Brian Slade decide romper con todo lo anterior y el movimiento hippie para crear todo un concepto: El Glam Rock. Años después el periodista británico Arthur Stuart investiga la carrera de la superestrella, entrevistando a los principales agentes en su historia para averiguar dónde se encuentra ahora y la influencia que cada uno tuvieron en ella. Todd HAynes compitió en Cannes en 1998 con esta cinta, que ganó un reconocimiento por su contribución artística aunque cedió la palma de oro al griego Theodorus Angelopoulous con “La Eternidad y un día” en una edición en la que curiosamente Ken Loach competía con “Mi nombre es Joe”, Roberto Benigni con “La vida es bella” y Terry Gillian con “Miedo y asco en Las Vegas”.

To delve into these topics, Thibault has a range of experts in this space on the show today. Pascal Ausseur is a retired admiral from the French Navy and the current General Director of the Mediterranean Foundation of Strategic Studies (FMES). Fabrizio Luciolli is the President of the Italian Atlantic Committee. Balkan Devlen is a Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and Olfa Hamdi is an entrepreneur and founder of the Movement for the Third Republic in Tunisia. What can the transatlantic allies do to promote stability in the Mediterranean? What is the concept of enlarged Mediterranean? Should we brace ourselves for more tensions or on the contrary should we expect more cooperation between the allies in the field of Energy? What can the West do to regulate migration flows? Listen for answers to these questions and more in this Med Atlantic themed episode.

This post may contain affiliate links. When you click through and make a purchase, SewHere receives a commission at no cost to you. You buy the right stuff and we continue to make AWESOME sewing media- wahoo! Using a rotary cutter and tracing sewing patterns are things Zede and Mallory do almost every time they are in the studio. These are non-negotiable processes for us- but they take some getting used to! As we mentioned in our " Adjustment Periods: Knee Lift and Serger ( https://sewhere.com/podcast/sewing-out-loud/sewing-adjustment-periods-how-to-get-used-to-a-knee-lift-and-a-serger/ ) " episode, sew however you like and do what makes you happy, but after decades and decades of sewing and teaching others, we're confident that these two things can make your sewing life better! So, let's get started! ---------------------------------------- How to Get Used to Using a Rotary Cutter ---------------------------------------- Rotary cutters are fast and accurate. If you're afraid of cutting incorrectly or cutting yourself- let us put your mind at ease! What you need to use a rotary cutter ------------------------------------ In order to successfully use a rotary cutter, you must have a cutting mat and a place large enough to accommodate it! If you've got the space, we think this is one of the biggest time savers you will implement while cutting out garments- and we find it to be more accurate! We don't pin our pattern pieces to our fabric, we use pattern weights- and this is preferable when rotary cutting, because you don't want to roll over a pin! Advantages to using a rotary cutting instead of scissors -------------------------------------------------------- The biggest advantage of using a rotary cutter instead of scissors is accuracy and lack of distortion. When you use scissors to cut garment pieces, you distort the yardage as the lower blade goes underneath the fabric. You just do! so, we find it so much more accurate and simple to keep our fabric in contact with the table as we cut with our rotary cutters. Rotary blades are cheap and easy to replace. It's easier to keep your cutting equipment super sharp when you use a rotary cutter, because you don't have to go to a special place to get them sharpened, and you can replace the blade yourself if you do make some kind of mistake (going over a pin or bead) or you gut through a bunch of carpeting (Zede). In order to be successful, secure your fabric and pattern pieces with weights or tape- that's right, tape! If you have a particularly slippy fabric, you can tape it to your cutting table. And don't underestimate weighting the yardage outside of your pattern pieces, it can help keep things stable as you progress through the cutting process. How to practice with a rotary cutter ------------------------------------ In general, there are two ways to use a rotary cutter- with a ruler and without. If you are cutting a long strip of fabric or a pattern piece with a straight edge- get out a ruler! Hold the ruler in place with your non-dominant hand, and attempt to keep this hand behind the rotary cutter as you cut. Keep the rotary cutter close to the ruler. The ruler should be place on top of the pattern piece and the fabric that is uncovered should be the fabric you are cutting away from the pattern piece- so, just in case you do mess up and veer away from the ruler, you aren't cutting into your pattern piece. Get out some pattern pieces with gentle curves and cut them out of one layer of stable fabric. See how it goes. Theoretically, it should be easier to cut curves with the curved blade of your rotary cutter than with the straight blade of your scissors. Practice keeping your non-dominant hand behind the cutter and out of its path. Find the right rotary cutter for you ------------------------------------ We love the Olfa ergonomic handle, and own several. You may try out a few different kinds before you find the right one for you. You can also buy different sizes. We use the 45mm rotary cutter most often, but the size 60mm is popular with quilters cutting big strips and the size 28mm or 28mm is popular with people cutting small, curvy pieces for lingerie or doll clothes. How to use a rotary cutter safely --------------------------------- Rotary cutters are sharp! That's why we like them and that's why they can be intimidating. A lot of people feel that rulers keep them safe, and only rotary cut with a ruler- ruling out curved garment pattern pieces. However, I have seen overzealous cutter jump the ruler! There are protective gloves you can buy and use while rotary cutting, and some people swear by them! In fact, I learned on the set of Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting that they always use a glove, because when they didn't wear one, they got lots of emails from nervous viewers! I have to be honest and say that I injure myself more in the kitchen that the sewing room, and I don't feel the need to wear the glove, personally. Always keep your hand behind the rotary cutter, whether you're using a ruler or not (see paragraph above). You will use your non-dominant hand to stabilize your body and your fabric, and if it's behind the path of the cutter- it should be safe! Keeping a new, sharp blade in your rotary cutter will keep you from having to struggle to cut and securing your fabric in place properly will help prevent any slipping mishaps. ------------------------------------ Sponsored by National Sewing Circle! ------------------------------------ You can never have too much sewing knowledge!

( http://www.thesewcircle.com/sewing ) ------------------------------------------ How to Get Used to Tracing Sewing Patterns ------------------------------------------ Ok, this is our most controversial position (other than the 3-thread narrow ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=6s&v=4JLZ2r2Gv_8 ) ). We REALLY believe you should trace your multi-size sewing patterns. We admit, this is an entire extra step in the sewing process that you could theoretically skip- and who doesn't want to save time??? However, if you cut the wrong size or wish to return to the pattern when you change sizes or make it for a different-sized wearer, you'll be glad you took the time to trace! What you need to trace patterns ------------------------------- You need tracing paper! The best tracing paper is the tracing paper you like. We use medical-exam paper- the stuff you sit on at the doctor's office- but you can use swedish tracing paper, interfacing, or even vinyl shower curtains! You just need to be able to see through it and to mark on it. We also recommend tracing in a bold pencil. We love these chunky mechanical pencils for tracing patterns. You might also like to use color coded sharpies for some things, once you know your pattern is accurate and finalized. *Why should you trace sewing patterns?* I wrote a very passionate blog post ( https://sewhere.com/always-trace-sewing-patterns/ ) about why you should trace your patterns. The main tenet is: you don't want to lose information. When you cut out one size from a multi-size pattern, you lose the other sizes (sometimes even the smaller sizes, depending on how the pattern is nested). Plus, many sewists regularly blend between sizes to accommodate their bodies. As I say in the blog post above- it's sheer hubris to cut and be sure that's exactly the information you'll need for the entire extent of your sewing life. You wouldn't cut out a paragraph from a book you like- right? Leave the pattern intact! *Trace some patterns!* Get used to it! Think of it as Sewing Out Loud boot camp! When you trace your patterns make sure to include * Pattern Name/Number/Company * Date * Name of wearer * Size (and note if you blended between sizes at any point) * Darts, notches, gathering/pleating notation * Seam allowances/hem allowances I'm the queen of wishing to cut corners. If there's a good shortcut- I'll take it- but this is the one place that I don't take short cuts. In fact, the one time I cut out a pattern (I was so sure it was the right size), I made it through cutting to learn that some of the cutting lines were mis-labeled. So, even though I had done everything properly- the company had lead me astray. I have a feeling that you may get converted to #teamtrace after you have some kind of mishap, like I did- but hey, you never know! *Trace. Just do it.* Have you taken the time to get used to rotary cutting and tracing? Let us know how it went!

Buy direct from designers where you can. Give feedback to designers where you can. Do not photocopy and share purchased patterns as this is a breach of copyright/intellectual property and theft. Support designers by telling people where you bought a pattern from. Sewing Machines Sewing machine is personal preference. My best advice is grab a notebook, write down questions you have about what you want to sew, the functions and accessories and price. Take samples of the fabrics you’ll be using and go and visit every machine dealer you can to test drive machines. Buy the best machine your budget will allow. That way the machine will last you longer as you learn and you won’t out skill your machine too quickly. Buy from a dealer so you get the after sale care you need as well as warranties and help when needed. Keep your machine cleaned and oiled and serviced regularly and it will last you a long time. Rotary cutter The 2 brands I prefer are OLFA and Fiskars. Both companies are super reliable. They both do similar sizes but I love my 45mm ergonomic handled OLFA and my 28mm curvy handled Fiskars. I use them for cutting different things as its easier to do smaller controlled cutting with smaller rotary blades. When I’m cutting large pieces like strips, borders and background squares I always go a bigger blade to make it faster and more efficient. If you end up doing lots of strip cutting I also recommend purchasing a ruler with a rotary cutter built into it. This is a faster way to cut and protects your fingers from the blade. Rulers Patchwork rulers come in all shapes and sizes. My most recommended sizes for when you are starting out are a 6in x 24in ruler and if you are doing lots of big squares a 12.5in square ruler. I also found quite handy when I started out a small square ruler and there are two sizes which are good depending on your hands – a 4.5in and a 6.5in square. I tend not to be brand specific when it comes to rulers as not every company makes every style of ruler. I do recommend Matilda’s Own, Australian Rulers and Templates, Hobbycraft and Sew Easy.  Self-healing craft mat Best recommended brand OLFA. Sizes are small 12in x 18in, medium 18in x 24in and large 24in x 36in. OLFA is by far the best in my opinion as I’ve still got my original mat from 16 years ago and it’s in excellent cutting condition. 1/4in sewing machine foot This foot is a must for accuracy. Most of these feet will come with a small tongue guide that sticks out of the right hand side of the foot and helps you guide your fabric under the foot while stitching. The guide prevents the fabric from moving further to the right and creating seams that are bigger than 1/4in. There are a few out there that don’t have a guide, so if you feel you want to start your quilting with a little bit of extra help don’t buy one of these. Your machine feet are purchased from the dealer who sells your machine model. I can help with Bernina and some selected snap on feet (Brother, Janome, Bernette). Fabrics When you are first starting out its okay to use cheaper fabrics, however you do run the risk of having issues if the quality is poor. Keep to 100% cotton patchwork fabrics as they are more stable and easier to piece than many other fabrics. Once you’ve gained confidence you can play with other fabric types and compositions. Marni's favourite sewing thread Honestly thread is totally personal preference and selected on the basis of what I want the project to look like. So I tend to piece with Rasant (core spun polyester/cotton blend) and quilt with whatever takes my fancy. Rasant is by far the most economical way to piece quilt tops – there is 1000m on a spool and costs vary from store to store but its around $6-9. It takes me approx. 3 months to use an entire spool when just piecing. If I’m quilting with it however 1 spool will do approx. an entire quilt top and bobbin thread. My other favourite threads for quilting are Kingstar (machine embroidery thread that’s shiny) and Aurifil. They are more expensive but definitely worth it for special projects. I used to use a lot of Gutermann threads but the cost became prohibitive so I stopped using them. There is nothing wrong with them, they are fabulous threads and very good quality but when I was making lots of quilts (30 a year at one stage) it just became too expensive. Pins There are lots of different pins out there but Flower head pins are highly recommended because they sit flat. They are longer than most standard pins and generally are considered sharper as well. I like two brands when it comes to these pins – Clover and Hemline. Clover are the better quality in my opinion but they don’t contain very many pins in a packet so if you do buy them be prepared to be moving pins around your work more often. Hemline brand are cheap and cheerful. Lots in a packet, brightly coloured and pretty good quality. Ironing and Ironing Board Personal preference again – but basically an ironing board with a decent cover and foam, set at a comfortable height. An iron that you can use with or without steam, a good long cord and if possible one that turns itself off. Special mentions: Quick unpick/Seam Ripper Make sure your seam ripper is comfortable in your hand and has a nice sharp blade. If it has a lid, please use it. Always better to be safe than sorry. Thread Snips There are a few types of thread snips that I recommend. Cheap and cheerful ones are fine but generally I’ve found that they don’t stay sharp for very long. I do suggest buying a pair that cost a bit more so that you get good use out of them. Spring loaded snips (as well as scissors) are great if you have issues with your hands like arthritis as the spring mechanism takes the pressure off your hands. I have a small spring loaded pair on my long-arm to snip threads as I quilt but when I’m at my sewing machine I prefer a pair of duck-billed scissors. These are mainly used for machine embroidery to get better access for trimming jump stitches. TIP: Proper seam pressing Part of the key to gaining accuracy in your finished patchwork item is in the ironing. It takes practice to not put too much pressure on your fabrics and press them into oblivion. The trick is to lift and press, not to push. Pushing will warp the fabric and make your straight seams bow out of alignment. Check both right and wrong sides of your pieces to ensure that the seam hasn’t “rolled” over onto the joining piece and that all seams are pressed open/or to opposite sides for joining junctions. Steam can be both your enemy and your best friend but use it sparingly until you are comfortable with ironing in this manner. Check Marni’s blog post for more.
