Creator of Clématisse sewing patterns, who am I?
I am Céline Gengoux, founder of the Clématisse Pattern sewing pattern brand since 2019.
My passion for modeling and the desire to share my creations led me to develop one model and then another... this is how Clématisse Pattern was born and grows with you every day.
Born with a passion for fashion, sewing and drawing, it was only natural that I moved towards training in styling – model making – sewing
One passion: 2 lives
20 wonderful years spent in the creative department of a French ready-to-wear brand, I evolved professionally and personally, collection after collection.
Teamwork is exciting and educational.
Creating patterns, developing models for production, and exchanging know-how with my Chinese, Indian, and Portuguese partners have been a very enriching human adventure for me.
With the groin crisis coming along, I felt like making changes, so I tried my hand at a few freelance modeling assignments, a revelation, and hey presto, a new start!
Every beautiful story begins with a beautiful encounter!
In 2019, I had the chance to meet some lovely, passionate amateur seamstresses and I was won over by the hobby sewing environment.
Very quickly, I was delighted to meet them at each session and share with them my taste for beautiful materials, braids, buttons, new creations... so ideas for projects emerged.
This is how I started developing patterns and tutorials to lead our workshops.
Alongside my brand of sewing patterns, I continue my missions as a freelance stylist/model maker, collaborating with young, talented designers is each time a unique adventure, an authentic journey to the heart of their universe!
A creator at heart, a model maker by vocation!
Since always, an overwhelming passion for fashion, design, beautiful fabrics, beautiful materials... One creative idea chases another... and it's endless!
Each creation is a part of me, in each pattern, fold, or detail, creating a beautiful volume there, molding the fabric to the curves there..., an emanation of my desires, guided by the line.
I worked for years in a design studio. I learned to centralize my inspirations, refine my ideas, and perfect my drawings, because to create is to "imagine and create"!
Pattern making has always been at the heart of my profession, and I am committed to offering you professional quality patterns with the same standards as in high-end clothing.
The precision of the line, the assembly solutions, the clarity of the assembly instructions come from the techniques practiced in the workshop.
Communicating my fashion values to you and offering you a quality pattern are my priorities in order to fully satisfy you.
Sharing my expertise and my passion for sewing with all of you gives meaning to the lines that run through the leaves, knowing that by following them, you too will be there, somewhere, proudly bringing my Clématisse creations to life!
