Last weekend, I was antiquing in Holland, Michigan, and came across 4 exquisite hand-embroidered tea towels (2 green, 2 blue). I usually reserve pastels for spring and early summer, but I just couldn’t wait to make one of the towels into a dress. All 4 towels are made of finely woven handkerchief linen and delicately hand-embroidered in the same design. I had just enough fabric in one towel to make this dress. Available now in the Hankie Chic shop.
