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!

Years ago my grandmother used this, stacked them into columns, ran some threads through them and used them as the arms and legs of a clown doll for each of the grand kids.

Thanks, Tammy, for sharing this memory. There are many ways to use yo-yo’s for making toys. Grandmas can be so creative in making toys and memories!
