#AMELIE MOVIE OUTFITS FREE#
if you’d like to play along, please feel free to add any movie-inspired sewing to the film petit flickr group.every month or so, Jessica and i (plus a guest blogger) will sew an outfit (or outfits) for our kid (or kids) inspired by a movie we love.It was SO fun planning this month’s post with both my co-host Jessica and Film Petit guest Gail – how great to have three people watch the same movie and be inspired by different parts of it! thanks ladies, this was such a blast! Amélie was impressed!Īnd to find out if Petite Amélie’s photo booth charms worked on Little Nino…head over to a little gray for some amazing sewing and a little bit of trickery! Jessica had a genius collaboration idea with this one you really don’t want to miss it! the dress she made is amazing, you’ve got to see all the lovely details. …one traveling garden gnome at a time! now scamper on over to probably actually to check out Gail’s gorgeous gnome dress! i LOVE that she was inspired by the gnome. Petite Amélie LOVES her red polka dotted dress, and sets out to make the world a better place… i owe my newfound knowledge of facings and shirring to the washi dress, so it was fun to apply those techniques to create this pattern of my own.

The bodice attaches to a gathered skirt and has shirring in the back to add some shape while remaining very comfortable for my little gal. the sleeves puff slightly at the shoulder, and i made it in a red with white polka dot cotton (moda essential dot) to stick with her mostly-red color theme. i stitched the facings down by hand for an invisible finish. The button down front comes to a v at the neck (i drafted facings, a feat i’m geekily proud of – this pattern has eight different pieces!). mine is a mini version, with short sleeves and fewer buttons. i noticed a few things about Amélie’s wardrobe (played by the lovely Audrey Tatou):Īs i put these ideas together, i noticed that the design that emerged reminded me of the darling ranges dress (adult pattern) by megan nielsen! i went with that inspiration. as i watched the movie for the first time in years, i kept a notepad near me and sketched out my inspiration for what to sew for Em. In the meantime, playing the game is just as fun… …knowing that when they finally do meet, they will fall deeply in love and be together forever. So she goes to a photo booth and takes photos of herself… Nino is on his own quest to find an elusive mystery man as he reassembles discarded photo booth photos for his collection, and Amélie quickly falls in love…but she knows the way to get his attention is through the photo booth. her shenanigans include stealing her father’s garden gnome and sending it around the world, guiding and describing the street scene to a blind man, and setting up two lonely hearts looking for love at her workplace.Īs she does these good deeds for others, she chances upon a young man named Nino. she was a lonely child and a lonely adult too, until one day she is struck by the urge to become a “do gooder” and surprise others with small acts of kindness and love. Officially titled “Le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain,” Amélie (affiliate link) is a 2001 French film directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet about a little girl that grew up within her own imagination.

It’s film petit time, and this month’s film is one that’s been a favorite of mine for many many years (we even had the soundtrack playing at our wedding reception in 2004).
