anchor with pin or some buttons (or a pin of buttons!)
Before Jane Austen’s time, women were saving bits & bobs of jewellery, lace, ribbon, buttons, and fabric to use for decorative purposes ~ including hats. That’s what I’m going to show over the next couple of days, starting with these …
Remember this collection? It would look equally good on this hat, but it’s not coming off the blue! And lest we forget our vintage hankies…
my handkerchief box – lots of vintage!
a large but good contrast hankie
gather so all right sides show, then fold tail underneath & stitch in place… or pin… or gather the tail with ribbon & gently stitch in strategic spots to hold everything in place!
