This is my first make of a Deer and Doe pattern. I love the way it turned out, I cut a straight size 42 and it didn’t require any modifications. I did shorten the sleeves and add a cuff as I didn’t find the wide sleeves all that flattering on me. The instructions/diagrams were very straight forward and I only had to refer to google translate once or twice. I even used my own handmade ceramic buttons.


Looking forward to making the Belladonna soon.



I’m really fond of your dress ; so lovely ^^ and when I think of your handmade buttons, I just keep smiling : absolutely gorgeous
I’m looking forward to seeing your Belladone
(I hope it’s ok with my bad english… I couldn’t help write a comment !)
As I told you on the Flic’r group of the Sureau Sewalong I love your version !
I was wondering, how do you make the buttons ?
I’m gonna had your blog in my google reader beacause I love your style
This is one of the prettiest Sureau dresses I’ve seen! Great choice of fabric! Well done!
Thank you! I spend a lot of time in the pottery studio, so I tend to make buttons with my left over clay. They are stoneware, fired and glazed.
Wow, this is gorgeous! I wasn’t crazy about this pattern until I saw your version
How do you feel about copycats?
That’s so pretty, and suits you so well!
