A banner for a birthday, but a bit different from last year's.
I found a bag of old handkerchiefs in the charity shop - 50p the lot, so I brought them home to sort, soak, wash and press and then chopped some corners off to make an all-white garland. I love white - it's so simple and fresh-looking. The interest is in the lacy bits and the embroidery. And I've enough corners left to make a length for myself, too.
Happy happy birthday for tomorrow, Gill!

What a lovely idea!
Oh, so very pretty!
The bunting is so beautiful, what a fabulous idea, and re-cycling too.
Very beautiful!
Very pretty and unusual. The lace gives it a lovely texture. x
Love it Diana and such a clever idea to use the fabrics this way. Much love to you and hope you & Walter are enjoying the sun xx
I so agree and wish I'd thought of that. It's my birthday tomorrow so I might do something like that for myself. I have a stash of little hankies with nursery rhymes on from when I was little so that might be what I'll do with them.
very pretty.. and happy birthday to Gill.
