Here’s what Bout de Ficelle customers are saying

A seamstress who loves her work, who takes the time to explain what she can do, and who does it within a reasonable timeframe. I recommend her.

VAL' ERIE

Pauline welcomed me with a smile to her cozy and bright workshop. She is kind and patient and adapted very well to me and my limited skill level! A truly wonderful experience, from which I left with a lovely pouch that I'm very proud of. Thank you, Pauline!

Estelle Ycart

A top-notch seamstress in a beautiful workshop where you can find gift ideas and sewing projects. A place to make your torn or zippered clothes last longer (plus, Pauline takes care of all the paperwork to get the repair bonus). And fantastic sewing workshops for children; my son keeps borrowing my machine because he was so captivated by the "Bout de Ficelle" sewing workshop.

Yannick LANFREY

Pauline is charming, attentive, and offers helpful advice when needed. The quality is excellent, and the prices are affordable. She can find the perfect fabrics to suit your taste, including organic materials, hemp, and linen. I highly recommend her for all your sewing needs: curtains, cushions, custom-made clothing, as well as alterations and minor repairs. You won't be disappointed!

Veranne Guinet

A super talented seamstress with unique and original creations. I love her!

Cindy Vayssie

Perfect alterations. Fast. Very good

Story

My name is Pauline Duperray and I am a seamstress. I started sewing at home by making small newborn gifts before deciding to turn it into my profession.

For me, being a seamstress means showing that it is possible to consume differently: repairing, altering, and extending the life of garments instead of throwing them away.

I mainly offer clothing alteration and repair services, carried out with care and precision to ensure a durable result.

You can entrust your garments to me with complete confidence. My goal is to give them a second life while respecting their style and fabric.

Every order is unique and accurate pricing will depend on your repair needs
