Hannah’s Summer Dress

You may remember Hannah, who when we left her last, was starting out on her journey to this year’s Early American Life Directory photo shoot.IMG_4874

I’m happy to say that Hannah has safely returned from her adventures.  She has had a glorious time during the past week or so, sorting through all of the fabrics and trims that I brought home from Brimfield.  She finally settled on this early grey, tan and muted red, sheer paisley cotton print for her second dress, with extravagant antique silk velvet shoulder bows.  IMG_4844

Now that her wardrobe is complete, Hannah will be leaving once again.  This time to her new home, where she will join her sister Isane. ❤

  • If you scroll down you will be able to see the fabric for Hannah’s dress when it was still gracing the back of an extremely worn crazy quilt, and the big pile of antique ribbons that Hannah sorted through to find the perfect ones for her new dress.  Just look for the post about my Brimfield treasure hunt.
