Default Grandma's hankies
my SIL had a box of old hankies from her mom and didn't know what to do with them. I suggested she give them to me and let me figure something out. I went online and found some instructions for "Orgami" dresses out of paper and figured, if you can make it out of paper, then why not a hankie? so these are the finished table runners. the outer hankies are the corners of some left over hankies I just couldn't throw out. Now they are Christmas gifts to each of the Siblings....

You are so clever with that dress! I LOVE all the various color combinations!
I have a bunch of hankies myself, but I still use them!
