The clothes I make at Christmas are rarely holiday-like. I did once make a snowman dress, but other than that I tend to create dresses suitablr for January-February, when you want springlike colors with a little warmth. That may be because I doubt that I'll finish my sewing in time for the holidays!
I've wanted to make this dress for Christina for a while, and I knew that I'd need to get it done before she grows out of the pattern. It's yet another Ottobre pattern, for a dress with a tiered skirt AND a tiered underskirt. When I saw the blue and green 28-wale corduroy matched with a floral lawn on Farmhouse Fabric's website (NAYY), I knew that it had to be this dress. The corduroy is fine and soft; so finely woven that it doesn't fray. The lawn, on the other hand, has a lot of stretch, so it proved to be a bit more difficult to work with.
This year, this dress arrived almost one whole week early. Woohoo!
