Samia Natural Design

 The past few months have flown by so quickly, and time seems to have slipped through my fingers. Between daily responsibilities and new challenges, I haven’t been able to spend as many hours sewing as I would have liked. The fabrics are waiting patiently, ideas keep piling up, and there’s no shortage of projects in my mind. But if the needle has been resting a bit, it’s for a good reason. Behind the scenes, a big project is taking shape. It’s something that requires a lot of energy, thought, and preparation, but it’s very close to my heart. I’ve been working on it for a while now, and I can’t wait to finally share it. Just a little more patience… The reveal is coming soon, and I hope you’ll love it as much as I’ve loved creating it.

  Beneath a light dress, a camisole and shorts sewn from nettle fabric . At first glance, a simple set of undergarments meant to soften transparency. But behind this creation lies a deeper reflection on material — on what we choose to wear against our skin, and on the relationship between our clothing and nature. Nettle, often seen as an invasive plant, hides remarkable textile qualities . Its fiber, used for centuries before being overshadowed by cotton and synthetic materials , is naturally strong, surprisingly soft, and able to regulate body temperature. Cool in summer, warm in winter, it breathes with the skin. Its cultivation requires no fertilizers , no pesticides , and no intensive irrigation — it grows where the soil allows, without depleting the land. Choosing nettle is an act of common sense. It reminds us that nature already provides everything we need — without excess, without artifice. In a world saturated with petroleum-based or intensively farmed fibers , nettle st...

This project began as a simple test dress intended to check the fit of a new pattern. The goal was to evaluate the pattern before cutting into the final fabric. However, as soon as I started sewing, I realized that the warmth and texture of the fabric made it perfect for winter. What was meant to be just a trial version quickly turned into a wearable garment that I will proudly keep in my wardrobe. 1. Choosing the Fabric and Preparing the Pattern For this test, I chose a medium-weight flannel —soft, warm, and easy to work with. It was not my final fabric choice for this design, but it proved to be ideal for a comfortable and cozy winter dress . After tracing the pattern, I cut out the main pieces, making sure to carefully mark all the notches and seam allowances . This step is essential to ensure accuracy when assembling the garment. 2. Assembling the Dress Construction began by assembling the bodice and the skirt. I used a serger to create clean finishes, giving the inside of the gar...

Welcome! Hello and welcome! I’m delighted to welcome you to my space dedicated to a more conscious and fulfilling approach to fashion and well-being. My journey, shaped by an early passion for beautiful clothing and health, has guided me toward a path where these two worlds meet and enrich one another. After completing a Health and Social Sciences diploma (SMS baccalaureate), I first explored the field of radiology before redirecting my studies toward becoming a trilingual assistant. It was during this time that my passion for sewing and design truly blossomed. However, I was quickly confronted with a disappointing reality: the decline in the quality of clothing available in stores — a trend that already raised important questions about what happens behind the scenes of the fashion industry. A major source of inspiration came from Greta Thunberg. Her commitment and the awareness she brought to environmental issues deeply impacted me and encouraged me to take action. This led to the cre...
