knick knacks & ric rac

okay, i don’t know if there’s any truth to that claim, but it sure is the biggest ric rac i’ve ever seen… i found this a long time ago (almost two decades!) stuffed in a bag of assorted trim at the thrift store. it was pretty thrilling! i made a red velvet dress way back when and […]

while i was digging through my drawer of tea towels a while ago to find one for my tea towel rug, i found this cute apron which i’d totally forgotten about. i don’t even remember where i picked it up, but i was glad to find it. it looks really cute on… then i noticed […]

i wanted to show you this tiny piece of amazingness i couldn’t resist… from the librarian

i was inspired to make this felt applique hex sign rug after finishing up the artwork for this new summertime skirt print… can you tell? i love the boldness and simplicity of this new print! the skirt should be available on my website next month here it is! http://madewithlovebyhannah.com/hexsign.html   (sign up for my e-mailing list […]

i was going through some sweaters that i haven’t worn lately and pulled out this cute norwegian sweater. i found it at the thrift store over a year ago, and though i’ve pulled it out a few times to wear, i’ve never actually worn it. i don’t really know why, because i like the pattern, […]

thrift stores are full of dorky sweater vests. i got this idea to restyle one into a cute dirndl-bodice-like top. (that adorable felt flower brooch is from the fabulous woolly fabulous!) i liked the nordic looking pattern knitted into this one, and the silver buttons. it was kind of frumpy and big to begin with, but […]

i’ve been ogling this sweater on etsy non-stop. i really like it but it has a few problems…first i never wear pullovers, and the other problem is all that pom pom flower cuteness is unfortunately placed for a busty lady like myself. also i don’t really like to wear clothes with collars. and i don’t need […]

take a peek at these new skirts i just added to my website. here’s the folk flower applique skirt i showed you a little bit of last week… and these fun colorful skirts featuring different alpine trims…i think these ones look pretty sporty!! i’m calling this one alpine skirt. both of these skirts i put in […]

here’s a sneak peek at the applique detail on one of my new skirts.  i screen printed the folky flowers and used a cute green calico for the leaves. that plaid fabric really is as bright as it looks, i love it! coming soon…really, really soon!

i just added this new skirt to my website, just in time to wear while you’re snacking on your valentine’s chocolates. i’m calling it the swiss chocolate skirt. i printed it on cotton duck, i call the colors vanilla bean, cocoa powder and strawberry. yum! remember when i showed you this cute swiss chocolate mold i found […]
