What brilliant ideas, my problem is often a complete lack of imagination
which makes it difficult,
look forward to hearing what others of you have made.

I wear lots of my lace - any kind of motif in any kind of lace.
I've used Beds, Bucks, Chrysanthemum, Coggeshall, etc. Just tack it
on the lapel or shoulder, using the same coloured thread as the lace,
and remove it before washing. And many years ago, I bought an
antique Teneriffe handkie. The material in the centre was in shreds,
so I removed it and ran a gathering thread around the footside. When
I want to wear it, I gather up the thread and wear it as a jabot.

I wore my favourite lace hankie yesterday - folded in half and tucked into
the
neck of a rather-too-deep V-neck sweater. Showed off the deep lace edging
beautifully and avoided showing off too much of me!
