If you’re dreaming of holiday sewing have I got a post for you! Hawthorne Threads newest holiday line, Oh What Fun, is spectacular and I’m thrilled to be sharing it with you. The best part is one lucky reader will win 3 yards all to themselves!
I sat down with my girls and we debated FOREVER about which prints to choose. The line comes in two colorways- Spruce and Sweet. I’m a sucker for non-traditional Christmas colors and this line really pulled me in. We picked Dashing Through the Snow in Onyx with a gorgeous mint solid and Merry and Bright in Sweet.
I love that they can wear these dresses all winter long! This fabric is thicker than your normal quilting cotton and a dream to sew.
I knew I wanted a simple silhouette for my oldest- something that would really let this fun fabric really shine. I used the Norah Dress from Welcome to the Mouse House. I did a size 7 with a 12 length for my tall girl. I love the sweet a-line and classic feel it has.
I changed the dress slightly by adding an exposed zipper on the back. I felt like it needed a little edge to please this picky girly.
I’ve been dreaming of making a Little Lizard King Double Scoop Dress since it’s release and I knew this fabric was destined for one. This pattern is AMAZING! It will be my new go-to for that classic fitted bodice dress. The options with this one are darling and I’m already planning my next one.
I did KAM snaps up the back that match the mint just perfect! This dress has a retro feel that I adore! The full skirt, peter pan collar, big bow sash- seriously too cute for words!
These girls were thrilled that their new dresses matched their newly redecorated bedroom- no wonder we were smitten with these fabrics! They had a blast shooting these fun looks.
Now for the good part: You can win three yards of fabric from Hawthorne Threads!

You used my favorite collection too, but since I am a sucker for borderline prints I would go for the “Oh What Fun Border in Sweet” with a dash of “All Wrapped Up in Sweet” for a matching bow pin 🙂 (maybe a bow in the back of the dress? Oh, I am not sure!!! SSSSSSSSooooo perfect either way!

I love the Celestial line. It’s a fun way to look at the stars and see an artist’s concept of what they represent. And, I’ve always loved the Coyote.
Those dresses are adorable, they make me wish for grandchildren since my girls are too big for such cuteness and they’re in their sloppy phase, ugh.
