Well, CL finally has a Christmas outfit of her own…..instead of her sister’s seconds! We found the neatest, vintage Christmas print {Moda Nature’s Gift, Snowy White by Deb Strain} during a June fabric trip….and promptly bought and stored it away.
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!
After a few hearty Ho, Ho, Ho’s, she warmed up enough to ask for a sneak peek at THE list.
She squealed with delight upon hearing her name on the good “practically perfect” list….
Then, she asked about her big sister….
And couldn’t believe the verdict!

OH MY! This is beautiful!
What a cutie pie!
Love the dress. Carol was my first CC pattern. Nice details with the piping; a little girls dress isn’t perfection until it has piping.
Merry Christmas!
I love this dress! And that little baby with that Santa is too cute! 😀
So beautiful.
Thanks so much! We thoroughly enjoyed your basic bodice series…full of such great ideas.
Love this dress and the fabric!
Beautiful dress and little girl!
Aww, so cute! The dress, and the little one. As usual, love the piping. =)
But of course…. Got to include that piping :)!
Perfect! I think it captures the essence of that age. Love seeing what you gals come up with every time.
Thanks!! Hope you are gearing up to sew-along in project run and play again…. Always fun to see familiar faces…
The dress is so beautiful and the girl is so adorable!
Love this! It’s the perfect combination of modern fabric and classic style. Merry Christmas!
This dress is charming and it looks adorable on the baby! The style is simple and classic. CC Carol always looks so good with those darling puffed sleeves.
You two are so talented. It’s no surprise that this dress is absolutely adorable. The fabric is perfect!
Too adorable for words!!! Love the dress but those big blue eyes are killer.
I recently found your blog and I am glad I did. Everything you make is so beautiful and I adore this dress.
