The blog now segues from a knitted one year old birthday dress to a sewn 12 year old birthday dress, but the order is all out of kilter. Actually it was as I was sewing some 15 year old birthday pyjamas today I reminded myself I'd never posted about the summer birthday dress....
I'd been about to let the tradition of a birthday dress go, but she asked (nicely) for a light blue dress with thin straps to wear over a white T-shirt as a roller skating dress for her party.
Of course light blue knit fabric was about the only thing missing from my stash, but Fabric Deluxe had just what we needed with this lovely rib knit.
A nice simple make that worked perfectly for roller skating
Or just hanging out at the rink with friends, scrolling on phones...
While I don't mind being told what to make, I do also like to create a surprise when it comes to birthday dress sewing. So I added a second dress
This one is a Liesl + Co Metro Tee (Size M) lengthened and with A-line flare added to make a T-shirt dress.
The fabric is some leftover silver spotted T-shirt knit that I know will wear fairly quickly but seemed fun to use. Previously turned into a Frocktails knit dress for me and a knit Building Block dress for her
And, of course, a little Silhouette Cameo rolling skate themed iron on. Birthday sorted.
