We used the Children’s Corner, Carol pattern (hence, the title of this blog)- UNmodified. Sure, in hindsight, we probably should have substituted long sleeves…but luckily for us – it doesn’t get too, too cold in the South.
We piped along the sleeve cuffs, as well as around the peter pan collar.
The buttons down the back were compliments of a Joann Fabric’s button box – $6 price tag, but bought half price = even better! We did add a pop of color by sewing the tan buttons onto the garment using red thread.
As for CL, she approved…and was ready to show off her new duds to Old St. Nick!
During her wait, she was kept entertained by the ‘shiny lights’ and her momma’s funny faces.
At times, she felt she could almost reach out and touch the jolly man!
But then she thought about it, and decided her finger would taste better than red wool and a white beard.
The time finally came to meet the Legend, and what can we say?? She was star-struck!
