Now that I know my friend has recieved it, I am already free to blog about one of the cutest little dresses I've made lately, without spoiling the surprise. A little Geranium, newborn size for my friend's baby girl.
This pattern was on my to do list for quite a while, but because I only have the free version, I had to wait until I had a newborn girl to sew it for. I was so happy when I knew my friend A. was having a daughter, I knew I'd be making this one for her.
So, baby L. is born and over a month old already. How come?! And I'm so sad they live so far, I won't be able to see her wearing this. But I hope she wears it (she's big!!). I made the pattern my own and didn't even look at the instructions, so please don't ask me feedback on that. I really only used the pattern pieces. I've added a peter pan collar, well, actually I've appliqué it. It's a fake collar, sewn into the dress, only in the front. I added a vintage button in the middle (I know her mommy would appreciate the vintage look!). These buttons, came from a thrift market and I've been saving them for a special piece. Here they are now.
I skipped the pockets on my own. And fully lined the dress. Instead of a regular hem I decided to make it a little bubble and I couldn't be happier about it.
The dress closes at the back with two of the same buttons I used in the front. Don't you just love this fabric? I know I do. It was part of a box full of goodies that I got from sweet Maria around Christmas time. I still have a little left. Wondering what I can use it for, but I know I'll find something special, sooner or later.
Adoro o Geranium.... Ja fiz tantos! E este verao pelo menos um vou ter que fazer! Fcou lindo! Adoro o tecido! :-)
ReplyDeleteHá muito tempo que tinha este molde na lista dos afazeres, não comprei o molde, tenho apenas o grátis. E gostei muito de o fazer. Talvez um dia me decida finalmente a comprar com todos os tamanhos. Por enquanto, ainda tenho muitos mais para experimentar e não vale a pena ter mais um na pilha dos que já cá cantam... lol
DeleteA Maria tem muito bom gosto, enviou-me 3 peças de tecido e adorei cada um deles.
Está lindo Magda! Gosto de tudo, desde o tecido, à gola ao botão :-)
ReplyDeleteObrigado Patrícia! A mamã da L. disse-me que também gostou muito, fiquei super feliz. Quero costurar mais para a princesa que é super fofa!!! =D
DeleteI saw your comment on my blog and I became curious :-) Indeed the fabric looks very similar. This dress is so cute. It should have been nice for the daughter I don't have ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo cute, I love the black collar, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Monica.
DeleteO vestido ficou tão querido :-) Gosto tanto e fico feliz por teres utilizado o tecido numa peça tão especial :-)
ReplyDeleteObrigado Maria. =D este era daqueles tecidos que me custava só de pensar em meter tesoura. hehehe... mas ainda bem que o fiz, gostei tanto do mini vestido final.
DeleteI like the bubble dress addition Magda. I've made this pattern several times & it always turns out so cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy. The simpliest patterns are sometimes the best. We know they work and fit, and can always personalize them, right?!
DeleteQue sortuda essa bebé! :) :) :) <3
ReplyDeleteAhahah Ana!!! Quero fotos!!!!
DeleteFicou tão fofo... e o tecido é lindo! Perfeito!
ReplyDeleteObrigado Diana! A Maria tem um super bom gosto!
DeleteJust darling, Magda!!! I love the little 5 sided buttons and the addition of the faux Peter Pan collar at the front is so clever.
