Hankie Jacket


Have you ever wondered what to do with all those pretty hankies when they are just too beautiful & lacey to use? ... Here is an excellent idea - crazy patchwork them into a jacket. This one fits size 3yrs & is fully lined & padded for warmth. There are lots of laces, fancy stitches & motifs embellishing the seams.

  1. That is a very pretty jacket! I don't really quilt but I wonder if the same idea can be made into a quilt. I love hankies and I really do use them! But, just how many can I use. Great idea!

  2. Hi Jeannie B... a great idea for a bed quilt - these have been sewn to a piece of quilted fabric so the quilting is all done for you. A bed quilt would be beautiful.... good luck making it..

  3. That is a great jacket - how did you make it? Would be great if you had a guide or 2 online, i have quite a few reborn dolls that need kitting out! :)

  4. Thankyou Donna, I have another jacket cut out to make, so maybe I could do a step by step with pics & then everyone could see how it's done. It is very simple & you can embellish the seams with as little or as much stitching & laces as you want. Thankyou for the suggestion. I would love to see your "babies"... do you sew for them?
