I've had my eye on this pattern for a while and bought it a few weeks ago from Crafty Mamas when I got the Ottobre Creative Workshop pattern.It's called the Anna dress and is the first Farbenmix pattern I have bought.
I made it up yesterday morning for a birthday party that was on in the afternoon, and once I read (and I will confess re-read) the intructions I found it surprisingly simple to put together.
There will be lots of ways to embellish this dress - make it up using a variety of fabrics, add strips of fabric as frills, put on multiple rows of ribbon, rick rac and trims or do fun appliques, but for this one I chose to keep it simple and used the same crocheted flower I used a few weeks ago for my niece's skirt and top set.
Novy of Little Munchkins has assured me that it can easily be made into a reversible dress too - as she did when making one for Kylie.
I think there will be more of these made in both summer and winter weight fabrics, in in good time of course!!
Oh Karen, that's very pretty. Love the colour.
ReplyDeleteI really like the pattern too, easy to sew and so versatile as I mentioned too. Can't wait to see more of your versions :)
Gorgeous! I love the fabric, and restrained detail you have used on it. Just perfect :)
ReplyDeleteLove it - the colour is divine! You have done a fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteI have this pattern too, but am yet to try it out. Yours looks fabulous. Well done!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! That's it. After seeing this dress twice I have to have the pattern. It's adorable.
