Some Vintage Hankie Ideas

Thank you Pinterest!
You make it so easy to find ideas.  And....
the best thing about you is that you help me keep these great ideas organized!

Come on over and see some of my boards if you're interested.  

Well, I've just started looking for ideas on what to do with my plethora of vintage hankies and look at what I found in just about 30 minutes of searching.  

No Sew or Low Sew projects:




Technically not a project, but it sure is pretty!



Lots of Sewing projects:








THIS is going to be fun!

Thanks for buzzing in!  I'm so glad to see you.
Do you have a favorite hankie idea?  One of your own?

  5. I'm OBSESSED with vintage hankies! Cannot get enough! I've made handmade quilts, sachets, sewn them into aprons, framed them in our guest cottage, given them as gifts. They're just so pretty! Have fun creating!

  6. What a bunch of great ideas! Thanks! I made a hankie bunting with flowers and ribbons but it's actually starting to feel too fusy for me as my tastes take a simpler turn once again. Mine is pictured at the very bottom of my blog. ♥

  7. I love all the pillows made with them. Guess what? Susan Branch commented on my blog on the post about her blog. She must have noticed where the traffic was coming from. I was so surprised.
