Things to make with vintage linens

While we wait for winter to let go, how about trying a sewing project or two? You can find vintage linens or vintage-look linens at your local Goodwill. Look for sheets, pillowcases, handkerchiefs, tea towels, table clothes and napkins. We have a great round - up of ideas and tutorials.
