Stitched

I am here. Still stitching + loving it. I thought that I'd share some of what I have been making.

I love making every couple + hope that they are loved just as much!

Stitching

Life has been really hectic around these parts lately.

I've been stitching up a storm to get some Etsy orders done and taking very little photographs.

This week has taught me how important it is to manage your time. Hopefully this weekend will give me some time to catch up!

Hand Embroidered Hankies

One of my husband's many endearing qualities is that he always has a hankie on him. Anytime I need to sneeze or wipe my hands, he is prepared in such a gentleman-like manner.

His supply through the years has diminished and I wanted to get him some personalized ones for our anniversary. After searching, I couldn't find the right one for the right price.

So I set out to make him some.

I found a 13 pack of white cotton handkerchiefs in the department store for under $20.

The embroidery floss is a Michael's steal that I got on clearance.

After laundering + ironing them, I printed my designs up on a sheet of paper and traced the design on the handkerchief.

The embroidery floss I used was a bit too thick for this cotton, so I took out 2 strands and looped them on the needle.
I back-stitched around the penciled design and made sure to tie the ends up neatly.

Now my dearest can take a piece of me wherever he goes.
