M is for Marti

The Hanky Dress Lady

"M" is for Marti!  Do you remember Nancy? Well, Marti is a friend of Nancy's. She saw Nancy's dress and was reminded of a bunch of family hankies she had. This wonderful lady decided to give me all of those amazing hankies and all she wanted was a dress to keep for herself. In this bunch of hankies I found a small one monogrammed with an "M" and a lovely green tatted edged hanky. We decided the one with the "M" must have been one of her childhood hankies. I combined the two to create her a one of a kind Hanky Dress. BTW her favorite color is green!


I decided a dress was not enough for this generous lady...so I made her a Hanky Heart too.

  5. You are amazing. What a sweet thing for her to give you her hankies and a sweet thing for you to make her a Hanky Dress for her gift. I absolutely love the one you made for her. Where did you learn to make the dresses? Do you have a pattern, or instructions?
    Thanks,
