Noreen at Hankering for Yarn, with her fascination for yo-yo’s, has designed and made another vest using yo-yo decoration. She also posts attractive photos of much of her work, including this one.
Perhaps Noreen’s creativeness will give you inspiration for making yo-yo projects. Yo-yo’s are very versatile and can be used for decorative effect or making complete items, such as bed coverings and tablecloths.
(I shall go more into detail about making and using yo-yo’s in future posts. I’ve written about them for magazines and in my newspaper columns in the past.)
Creating a Yo-Yo “Memory” Vest

What a fascinating idea….creating a yo-yo “memory” vest, consisting of these little shirred circles from fabrics given by friends and family. Noreen at Hankering for Yarn shares her love of yo-yo’s, dating back to her grandmother’s friend, and shows us pictures of the “memory” vest.
Yo-yo’s have a place in my life, too. I made exquisite bits of fabric art with my daughter. Together we created yo-yo Christmas tree decorations one year. Currently I have a bag of yo-yo’s in my closet and must find a project for them. Noreen has inspired me!
