how about a sweet little hankie valance across the top of a window. i love doing this with vintage hankies. or, make a child’s dress with a tee shirt, some material for the skirt and the hankie as an “apron”. or you could sew beads onto the corners and place it over a small lampshade with a low light buld (so it dosen’t burn) as an impromptu shade decoration.

or, my favorite yet, sew the ends together for a lighter weight spring scarf or wrap… very cool if they have any added decoration or embroidery.

For instance, a gored skirt, with a different hankie inserted in each seam. Or inserted as a godet in the sleeve of a fanciful blouse. Four stitched together make a nice cushion cover. Lots more make a quilt. Attached into a long line, they would make a kind of scarf. Maybe attach them with entredeux or crocheted lace? Hankies patched together with coordinating fabric would make a nice sheer covering for a window. Use them as pockets on skirts, aprons, inside jackets. Take the embroidered corners and make a toothed edging for a skirt, pantlegs, apron, etc. About the hankies–

You can choose a special contrasting fabric for the back, and use the handkerchief for the front. How about making the handkerchiefs into decorative pillows?

I am sure we can obtain some jewelry, papergoods, lampwork, small pottery pieces and perhaps even a small glass piece. We do this in our area frequently for artists in need - we call them barn raisings.
