About<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

This website came to life as a personal blog in 2015, when I was looking for a place to share my handmade creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I discovered my mom’s old sewing machine in 2014, a machine that was given to here when she got married.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She taught me how to sew simple skirts and I was instantly hooked on sewing, wanting to learn more and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The worldwide web showed me the way in this with the many tutorials, patterns and blogs that are available, and the passion kept growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, I decided to start my own blog in 2015 as an archive for the things I was sewing then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I gave it the name ‘Bel’Etoile’, a combination of a part of my own name ‘Bel’ (from Isabel) and ‘Etoile’, the French word for star (my eldest daughter is named ‘Sterre’ which means ‘star’ in Dutch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a while, I took an interest in drafting patterns, I found out how to do that, followed some lessons and released my first pattern in 2018!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, I can’t get enough of the designing process, so I keep going, with lots of love:-).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
