Blue Ribbon Heirloom Designs

Jeanna Hanna loves to create beautiful handmade children’s clothing. She comes from a long line of gifted seamstresses and hand workers and for over 40 years she has pursued learning, practicing, and perfecting the art of Heirloom Sewing in all its various forms. Beginning with a desire at an early age to create clothing for her dolls, for herself, and then for her daughter, Jeanna immersed herself in every aspect of garment design and construction which included machine training, hand sewing, smocking, pleating, Heirloom sewing, pattern drafting, clothing design, tailoring techniques and garment construction. Jeanna has also worked tirelessly to learn the art of fabric, laces, and trims selections and combinations for her garments. She relies on her training in Color Theory which enables one to use a color wheel and color theory principles to choose embroidery floss, trims, and threads to coordinate color shades with any project. Jeanna is always striving to increase her own level of knowledge and skill set so that each and every creation is more unique and more beautiful than the one before.
