I'VE ALWAYS had a love for vintage hankies - perhaps it's the images they conjure up of ladylike olden days. I come across pretty ones every so often at antique shops and flea markets and it's such a shame to hide them away in a drawer or box.
How about making them into something so they can be admired?
maybe some cushions...
or a table runner...
framed art...
or grouped as a headboard...
some pretty bunting...
a tablecloth or quilt...
a skirt...
or even a dress...
some lavendar sachets...
to decorate a party...
joined into a lovely scarf...
or charming curtains...
even if you don't sew, you can tie them like this...
So are you as smitten with these lovely girlie hankies as I am?
