I. Love. Vintage handkerchiefs.
I love them stitched together at the corners, as a table cloth.....
I love them with elastic, for doing laundry and gardening......
I love them pinned on a shirt......
And I especially love them as giveaways!
I made this little half-apron last night, and I thought it would be fun to hand it off to someone who might want it!
It's made from a vintage men's Valentino handkerchief, and some coordinating vintage fabrics from my stash.
