My story
A short summary
Dear creators, welcome. My name is Mélodie Marboutin and I am the founder of the brand L'Ame créative de Mélo. My craft is dedicated to the design of knitted models. I also train thousands of passionate people using many tutorials made by myself. My goal is to present original creative ideas of my design to beautify your daily life. Or to unearth an original gift idea that can be made by yourself.
Back to the past...
My interest in knitting began at the age of 17. My mother often told me about the knitwear she made when she was young and boarding. Then I thought, "It would be nice if I tried !" A long love story between me and the threads began. I started by making basic fabrics such as scarves, small hats, baby vests with straight iron needles and acrylic wool. With time and experience, my inventions have become more sophisticated. I switched to circular and double-pointed needles, to the creation of socks, sweaters, and baby sweaters. My acrylic balls were replaced by natural wool, much more beautiful and of better quality. I then started with a few videos on YouTube as advised by a former employer.
But also sewing...
My interest in sewing came slightly later, around the age of 20. I quickly learned to sew thanks to technical books and online courses. So I am self-taught and proud of it. I quickly acquired knowledge in pattern design and made my first gothic and medieval clothing models. A style of clothing that I have always loved, because I appreciate old fashions.
Today
I did try to make a living from my activity by carrying out markets in the past. And even after opening a shop. But these were not my greatest successes despite a lot of positive ambition. Today, I focus my activity on the net thanks to this online store and YouTube, which offer me much broader perspectives.
I wish you a pleasant visit in the hope that you will make beautiful discoveries and that you will become (or that you will remain) faithful creators.
