A typical prairie dress with apron, chemise, bloomers, a play bonnet, and a Sunday dress bonnet. All of this was done by hand.
Calico, pink and cream cotton/polyester blend (?), blue and white ribbon, snaps, piping, lace, and elastic in the dress bonnet.

I didn’t have a machine when I made this… no hand sewing equaled no sewing for a long time…

I agree, great job with the hand-sewing! It makes me want to make a little flowery prairie dress to frolick in.

By hand? No machine sewing? Wow, it is really sweet and definitely an awesome job for hand-sewing!
