Look what I worked on this past weekend! I've got a stash of collected hankies & I’ve been seriously thinking about how to repurpose them. It seems such a waste for them to sit lonely & unloved in my art studio. So, this scarf is my first hankie project. (Another one is in the works!)
I was originally inspired by the book Handmade Home {I think?! I’ll correct myself if I find out I’m wrong.} There’s a scarf project in the book made with suiting material & vintage sheets & other doo-dads & bits. And I immediately thought it’d be a perfect canvas to incorporate my hankies! What do you think? Is it too bizarre? This is my prototype & now that I’ve worked out the kinks, I’m excited to try experiment with other fabricsht & get some in the shop for Fall & Winter!!
It’s made of a thrifted vintage mens striped suit jacket, vintage hankies & vintage buttons. The back is made of a vintage sheet.

Bizarre? It's fabulous and with man shirts and coats (aka blazers) making a come back this fall (from the eighties- remeber them?) I think these will be the perfect addition to any outfit!
