Remember when I posted a tutorial a couple of weeks ago about making a 5-minute vintage hankie hair tie?
One of my blog followers, Shari, left a comment asking if I could make a headband. Hadn't thought about headbands before her comment, so I reached into my ever-growing vintage hankie collection...
And made this
Hoping Shari will share a picture, but in the meantime, Mabel modeled it for me.
I really like the results. Despite my enormous supply of beautiful, new fabrics, nothing compares to the beauty of these vintage hankies!
I'm stitching up a bunch more ~ think they compliment my Retro Revival products perfectly. I should have them available on my website and Etsy shop soon.

Your vintage hankies are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI had a wave of memories come to mind. Mostly gifts off Aunties. Where do you find them?

Beautiful headbands and ponytail scarfs. Right now I have long hair and would wear them.I have lots of vintage hankies,keep getting ideas of what I would love them as but never get around making anything.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I make banners with my hankies- just flip them over a cord- not cutting but I've seen so many other cute ideas out there! ♥
ReplyDeleteI see lots of these in my future...Love my hankies and like to iron them more than anything...short and sweet...smiles...Renee
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Super cute!

Dagnabit Cindy, are you sure we weren't separated at birth!?
ReplyDeleteI was just playing with a hankie from my stash the other day and deciding how to make a headband!
I wear headbands alot and this one is very charming.
ReplyDeleteOh my God! What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteVery delicate ... I love it.
PS: this will be my apron!
A big hug my dear friend Cindy.

I will definitely watch your etsy shop for the headbands...a "why didn't I think of that?" idea! =D
ReplyDeleteSo clever, and it makes such a pretty headband! Sadly, my vintage hankies are stacked inside a hatbox, but I do use them in my tablescapes. I just finished soaking and handwashing 30 that belong to my local animal thrift store, now I need to iron and return for them to sell. Really, how could I say no! :-) Pam
ReplyDeleteI am using vintage hankies to edge Christmas stockings I'm making for my daughter and the new baby our family is waiting for! Love the headbands!!
