Scandinavian Christmas Hide-and-Seek Dress

Scandinavian Christmas dress by nest full of eggs
What can I say? Christmas brings out the Scandinavian in me. I'm delighted to be joining the Scandinavian Christmas series again this year that Kathryn over at the Pickled Herring is hosting.

This year I am excited to show you the unique, one-of-a-kind Scandinavian Christmas dress I created. I was inspired by Saint Lucia who wears a white dress with red sash and a crown of green leaves.

Can you guess where the yoke fabric came from?

Project details
Pattern: Oliver + S Hide-and-Seek Dress
Size: 6
Fabrics: white linen/cotton blend, the yoke fabric is from a woven placemat!
Notions: 3 red buttons

What a great idea! It looks like it took days to embroider! So, so pretty. Merry Christmas Rachel!

That is beautiful and great idea in using the woven placement for the yoke! I love the red and white colors. Hope your kids are better at keeping clothes clean than mine are LOL! :)
