Hanna's Snow Princess Dress

Hanna sewed this dress all by herself.  She picked the pattern and altered it a bit to make it more the way she wanted.  That organza fabric is hard to sew!  It's so slippery.  As with most beginning (and advanced too-right?) sewing experiences, it didn't all turn out the first time around.  There was lots of picking out seams, and some tears.  It finally was finished in time to wear to church the day after Christmas.  (She finished making it on Christmas day.)  It turned out GORGEOUS.  This is her favorite color these days.  (She'll probably be mad at me calling it a snow-princess dress.  She is SOOO not princessy.)


 The necklace from Yeon.  Hanna LOVES snowflakes too.
