Have you ever considered embroidering a piece of clothing? Hannah made this cute little jumper and embroidered little pine trees all over it for the holidays! Isn't it adorable?
Download the full instructions (beautifully illustrated by Annemarie of Scout's Honor Co.) right here. It's really pretty simple. Just find a plain piece of clothing and add your personal touch with these little pine trees, using our free pattern. Hannah used Quince's Tern yarn in Sea Grass.
Hannah added the trees around the edge of the bodice and all over the skirt. You could add the pine trees just to a hem or collar, or all over the fabric. Embroidering an entire piece of clothing takes a little longer of course!
It's the perfect dress to wear for the holidays or all winter long for that matter!
We paired the dress with a thrifted Swiss dot blouse, Rachel Comey shoes, and dotted tights. Thank you to Lisa Warninger for the gorgeous photography!

That is the cutest jumper... the addition of the little Christmas trees is just the cherry-on-top. I couldn't imagine a more perfectly suited (gorgeous!) model to feature the collaborations you've been creating, either!

Thanks Hannah and Chelsea--we love what you've done with Quince yarns. The hat was precious, and these little trees made my day!

I love this! And would love to know how she made the jumper!!! Is there a pattern for it or instructions anywhere??

Hi Lynn! I think Hannah just made this jumper up! We don't have a pattern to share at this time. I'll let you know if that changes:) Thanks!

Very sweet! But embroidering the dress with wool means that it has to be handwashed. Maybe ok for an adult garment, but for a kid's holiday dress, I would want it machine washable.

This is such a lovely idea! I love it, also where is the dress from?

Hi Rachael,
Hannah made the dress.

Yes, if the urge ever comes to write a pattern for the dress (no matter how simple) i would very much appreciate it ;)
