Another Watermelon Dress

After all, watermelon is her favorite fruit!

When we received Ahnalin's 

referral paperwork, 6 years ago,

watermelon was listed 

as her favorite food.

And that first night, 

at the Gloria Hotel in Nanchang,

she ate more watermelon

than I thought was possible for a 1 year old

to eat!

So when Ahnalin found this 

remnant of watermelon fabric

in my stash,

she begged me to make her a 

new summer dress. 

She loves the back of this dress,

and picked out green

rick rack to accent it.

We took these pictures while

visiting Nana and Papa 

in Grass Valley.

Ahnalin misses them

and the house we lived in for most 

of her life.

 I thought this was the last picture,

but Ahnalin reminded me that

she needed to do her

"regular Ahnalin pose".

So there it is. 

Tomorrow is Independence day!

I know we will be eating watermelon

as part of our celebration!

Happy Sewing!
