This is my version of burda’s Danielle pattern, I just left off the sleeves and made it in this funky cotton that started out life as an Ikea cotton single duvet cover. I just loved the material and no longer own a single bed so thought I’d make the most of the material, I am also making Jessica a dress out of the remainder of the material.
I made this dress for my partner Paul’s sister Jeanette’s wedding (20th Feb). I was very happy with this dress it looks good and feels really comfy, I got lots of nice comments on it.
I made this all by myself apart from the fitting of the zip which my mum did.
I am going to make this again I think.
Cotton, zip
Burda for the pattern, Me for printing the pattern and putting it together, me for making it
My ever brilliant mum for putting the zip in.
