Hanky Scarves

After inheriting quite a few hankies from my grandma I was hunting for ideas to use them rather than have them stuffed away in a box.

My first creation was this adorable little hanky shirt for my babe.  You can find a tutorial over at Trey and Lucy.  It was the perfect lightweight fabric for summer and I'm pretty sure it will still fit next year.

I knew I wanted to make something I could wear as well to show off these vintage hankies.

So, who doesn't love scarves?  I wear them all the time and I knew these hankies could easily make an adorable addition to my wardrobe.

They are so simple to make.  Just pin the ends of two scarves together and sew with as little of seem allowance as you can.  Repeat to your desired length.  Mine was about six feet or six hankies long.

If the edges don't match up due to the sizes of the hankies, don't worry about it.  Once your scarf is complete, you won't even notice.

I am in love! With so many different colors in the hankies, their are endless possibilities.

Crochet Cowls (Neckwarmers)

I am so OBSESSED with these neck warmers right now!!  I want to make a every color I can think of but with spring around the corner they will just sit in a box all summer.  I guess they would be ready for next year though. :)  The second two have buttons so you can unbutton them and wear them tons of different ways.  They are so warm and I love not having the end of scarf hanging down.  Next winter these will definitely be a staple of mine.
