Exclusive Contest with the New Free Pattern of the Pompon Waistcoat!

Sewing and a love of clothes are my driving forces for Maison Fauve. I love creating each collection, building my “ideal wardrobe”, and then seeing you make the patterns your own, to tell a story through your sewing.

For several years, we have been giving you a somewhat unusual meeting: a big sewing challenge around a pattern that we offer you, with our wonderful partners ready to spoil you, and which is the opportunity for a nice creative boost!

In 2024, I chose a pattern that will complement the Maison Fauve wardrobe in style: a masculine-inspired waistcoat, a little marvel that I named Pompon, in reference to the flower that men wear in their buttonhole.

Tell me more about Pompon

The beautiful POMPON waistcoat is a wardrobe essential, and it has been designed to be worn whatever your style and desires: the finishes are perfect thanks to a very neat fitted lining, its neckline and armholes allow it to be worn alone or over clothing.

Pompon has been thought out down to the smallest detail:

  • The welted pockets that embellish the front

  • The line is impeccable, the ideal length for comfortable wear

  • The silhouette is supported by darts and a tightening tab in the back without restricting the bust, which makes it as beautiful worn open as closed

The FAUVE WINTER fabric capsule

Who says an inspiring pattern needs beautiful fabrics for sublime handmade makes. To mark the release of our new pattern online, we offer you a selection of fabrics perfect for this project:

We also sewed Pompon in our beautiful Jazz capuccino cotton jacquard, and in our heavy Onyx viscose twill, two fabrics currently available in our SALE section.

Sew the Pompon Waistcoat

The Pompon sewing pattern is available in PDF, in A3, A4, A0 and US letter format, and it has layers to print only your size. The files to download include 3 printing options, assembly plans by format, and a detailed assembly booklet illustrated with diagrams to help you sew Pompon. The pattern is classified as an intermediate sewing level, but don't panic: Pompon has a free video sewing tutorial to guide you step by step.

A great pattern, detailed explanations… And that’s not all!

The big Maison Fauve sewing challenge

The idea is to have fun together, so I brought together a team of wonderful partners to spoil you during our big sewing competition.

Let me introduce them to you...

The RASCOL haberdashery is a key player in the world of sewing, and it is certainly a place of torture for all seamstresses. RASCOL trusted me and my brand from the earlier days, and it has been a true partner for Maison Fauve for many years. In addition, we are almost neighbors, the RASCOL premises being located in Vic la Gardiole ;)

During the competition, the brand is offering several prizes:

  • For the big winner: Necchi Creator C360 sewing machine and a Simplicity bias machine

  • 4 sets of haberdashery items (scissors, lamp, Japanese ruler, mini-steam iron kit, etc.) for 4 winners drawn at random

ODORE SCOLA  is a symbolic perfume house in our region. Attached to the history of the University of Pharmacy and the Montpellier plant garden, ODORE SCOLA combines ancestral recipes for perfumes and scents with the latest scientific progress. I am lucky to have been invited by this beautiful brand to create the first Maison Fauve x Odore Scola  signed perfume (I can't wait to talk to you again about this project which excites me terribly!). And we invite you to become creative too during our competition.

The ODORE SCOLA house is offering a superb prize: a perfume box kit which introduces you to the art of perfume and scent formulation, so that you can create step by step the interior home perfume that suits you.

CINQPOINTS creates activities, cultural games and creative souvenirs to collect. Committed since its creation to the spread of the culture of architecture and design through objects, it designs and makes objects that have meaning. I am lucky enough to be friends with Laurence, the founder and artistic director of CINQPOINTS, and I am delighted to introduce you to this beautiful brand and its products during our competition: you will have the opportunity to win a stationery set and signature accessories of the CINQPOINTS style.

Do we still need to introduce ILABELLA?!

Marguerite is a dear friend, and I have the wonderful opportunity to wear many jewellery pieces from his brand. She also gives us the pleasure of lending us jewellery during our shoots to add that extra sparkle to our styling. ILABELLA has an elegant, feminine universe, and offers very beautiful semi-precious jewellery. During the competition, the brand is offering a gift voucher of 150 euros, enough to give you a very pretty piece!
