A Second Blooming

One of my first Alabama Chanin projects was this jersey dress in violet (one of Hancock's few jersey offerings--I've used many a yard of this!). I love the dress; the fit is good, I like the color and design . . . but . . . I thought there was room for a little more oomph on the front.

So I took it along in the car when we took Clara to school, along with scissors, thread, and the remains of the gray tee shirt.


And added a few more sprigs of leaves. Best thing about Alabama Chanin projects? They never have to be finished.

  3. LOVE!!! One of these days you need to have an invitation for your blog friends to come and live with you for a weekend! Maybe it can be a contest for two!

    You might ask your husband if that's OKAY first!
    :0)))))

    Love and blessings to you and your beautiful family,

  4. I think she'd have to rent the White House for that. (Maria Ricci's idea, that is.)

  5. I agree with Maria! :)

    I bet this color looks so good on you! I have got to get some of the Alabama Chanin items as I love to sew, but do not have a machine.
