Meet

Émilie Fonteneau a ouvert son Atelier des petits pois à Villedieu-la-Blouère, dans les 150 m² de l’ancienne agence du Crédit Mutuel.It took six months of work to open this shop which she owns.

Why peas?"Because we find them everywhere, on our clothes.It's colorful and I like it, "replied the seamstress.More than a haberdashery, it is a place dedicated to sewing, creative hobbies and a showcase to enhance the work of local creators.

A conversion

At 33, the young entrepreneur assumes her retraining.After having taught as a high school history-geography professor, then worked as management assistant, health concerns highlighted this vital need to work without pressure.Émilie is suffering from Crohn's disease, a disabling disease that she says today stabilized.

And why the workshop?"I have always tinled, a passion.And, beyond this craze, it is the desire to transmit to others, to help, to exchange. » Ainsi, à l’étage du magasin, 75 m² sont dédiés à la création, avec la programmation de stages (inscription en ligne via les réseaux sociaux).
