Wedding Handkerchief Tutorial

Crochet Edge and Embroidered Bridal Wedding Handkerchief

I’ve been thinking about trying my hand at customizing a bridal wedding handkerchief which I accomplished and it was a success!  THE BRIDE LOVED IT! 

I have a few hemstitched handkerchiefs which I purchased a few years back.  The reason I chose the hemstitched handkerchiefs was so I could add a crochet edging.  Normally, a tatting edging would look a lot better than the crochet edging but I’m not quite sure how to tat.  My grandmother use to tat these handkerchiefs back in the day.  I remember growing up and she would give them to us as gifts.  They were beautiful!

Applique Mermaids and Whales Baby Blankets

Share

I have recently been thinking of doing some nautical baby blankets with applique designs. I found this machine embroidery/applique shop on Etsy, that sells the applique designs I was interested in. This was the first time I purchased from this shop and I went ahead and purchased 10 designs which were so adorable.

First of all, I should have purchased just one design and tested it.  I have found in the past that each embroidery/applique designer have their own personal technique as to how their designs stitch out. The reason I bring this up is a couple of months ago I purchased a split paw print design and went ahead and stitched it out before testing it on a doggie blanket for my little yorkie, Trixie.  For the most part it stitched out fine but there were some underlying stitches which showed up and I had a hard time ripping them out. (Shucks, I didn’t test the design first!)
