Lace scarves

Doing the GAPS diet has taken all my extra energy, so I haven't felt like doing much sewing or crafting. But this week I came up with an idea for some of the vintage lace Mama gave me when we were in Virginia at Christmas: scarves. For my first try, I stitched a bunch of strands together, and then I stitched over the whole thing with some elastic thread. This makes it flexible and ruffly.



Then I stitched some straight onto knit fabric, after seeing this picture for inspiration:

    Can't believe your creativity! You look SO thin --- you remind me of Gay Dillard in these photos.
