Mother's Day Gifts you can Sew....
A Pretty Handmade
Handkerchief
A Pretty Handkerchief is something very sweet
you can make for Mom or Grand Mom. They will cherish it forever. To
make it even more special, sign and date it on the back. |
 |
You can make this special
handmade handkerchief from scraps of fabric lying around the house.
All you need is a 10" square of pretty fabric, and about 40" of trim. |
 |
Zigzag stitch around the outer
edge of the fabric. This will hold the threads in from coming out
when the hankie is washed, and it keeps the edges pretty.
Press your hankie nice and flat. |
 |
Pin the pretty trim around the
outer edge of your hankie. Stitch the pretty trim in place using a
straight stitch. |
 |
If you want to, you can add an
"M" for Mom or her initial on a corner of the hankie, as shown in the
photo. Use an evaporating fabric pen,
or if you do not have one, draw the letter very lightly with a pencil.
Use a very small and tight zigzag stitch
and sew around the letter. |
 |
There, your adorable pretty
hankie for Mom or Grand Mom is done! |
