Last year I’ve
had the pleasure of testing Suz, from the Australian blog Sew Pony, first PDF
Pattern: Debbie’s Birthday Dress, but I completely forgot to take decent photos
and blog about the dress I made with the test pattern… The dress still fits
Teresa and she wore it today to go to our local public library. When I saw her
reading a Portuguese version of one of Marcel Marlier's books (she is actually reading not posing for the photo! she didn't even knew I was taking a photo!) I knew I had to finally
show you this dress!
The Pattern:
Debbie Birthday Dress by Sew Pony. What a timeless simple pattern this is! It
has several options – you can check out here two different dresses I made with
this pattern last summer – and it is perfect for a beginner seamstress. But, if
you are more confident in making children’s clothes, this is also a great
pattern to “flip” and add details.
Fabric/Notions:
Main fabric is from a pillowcase I bought at my local street market for 1 Euro!
It is super soft and I love the black dotted print. I’m sorry but I can’t remember
where I bought the red lace... I think
it is also from my local street market but I am not sure.
We had fun during this photo shot!
And, at the end, Ines decided to take part too! She is wearing one of the few non handmade woven clothes she has. This dress is actually a nightgown I bought at fancy local children’s clothes shop (Anti Milk) before I knew how to sew…
The photos where taken (with my iPhone...) at one of my favorite buildings in Cascais: Santa Marta Lighthouse. Isn't it fabulous?!
After launching
Debbie’s Birthday Dress, Suz has also designed a lovely shirt, The Little Betty Top (as soon as I can master knits I will have to sew this pattern!), and a gorgeous
swimsuit, The Cosy Swimsuit (here is my version). Don´t forget to check out Sew Pony
shop for more detailed information on these patterns!
So pretty. I think I need to make one. Is that the length or did you shorten it? Great choice of fabric, works brilliantly with the red trim.
ResponderEliminarI made this dress with the test version of the pattern. I think the final version is slightly longer.
EliminarAnyway, it is really easy to add length to this pattern so go for it!
What a fun photo shoot {you always amaze me with your pictures....I wish I could get that quality with my iphone!!}!! Cute dress...we need to put it on our list to sew!!
ResponderEliminarYour nieces will love this pattern, I'm sure! It is so cute and comfy!
EliminarUm vestido mesmo ao género "Anita" Adorei o espaço da biblioteca, já agora. Muito giro, e as fronhas a 1€ são mesmo um achado. Tb cheguei a comprar algumas ao mesmo preço... As tuas miúdas estão sempre tão divertidas nas fotos que até dá gosto ver! =D
ResponderEliminarMuito obrigada Magda! Em Portugal temos a sorte de ter óptimas feiras onde, com um bocadinho de sorte, se encontram coisas incríveis, não é?
Eliminar....and they are taken with your iPhone!!! Wow! Love the dress too ;-)
ResponderEliminarThanks Mie! My DSLR camera is so old I can take better pictures with my iPhone. Can you believe it?
EliminarAdoro Marta <3 Agora ando numa de vestidos curtinhos e este está demais. Como diz a Magda é mesmo à Anita :-)
ResponderEliminarSim Carla, as nossas filhas devem usar vestidos curtos enquanto podem! :)
EliminarSuch great dress, and I love the photos! Debbie's dress has become my go-to pattern. I think I made 5 or 6 of them, mixed and matched, flipped, etc. Great fun!
ResponderEliminarYes Jenya, Suz has made a great job with this pattern!
EliminarVery beautiful. And btw. You can totally master the knit. I know it....
ResponderEliminarThank you Annika for all your support!

EliminarWhere else can you find a sky like this?!
Such adorable girls! And I love the dress and the beautiful Portuguese setting! So pretty Marta.

ResponderEliminarOh I love this so much, Marta! I am an avid reader, but I follow from my phone (Feedly) and I can't comment from there. I haven't been on my computer much because of the new nina! :) Anyway, your sewing is so beautiful. I love your style.
ResponderEliminarPS I also love Teresa's personality in these photos. So priceless.
