Edged Hankies



These cotton hankies are made in China. Inexpensive but printed on only one side.  I got them from Chinatown here in Singapore. I have plans for these two hankies. Will keep you posted.

  1. It's fun to see how printed hankies, even inexpensive ones, are elevated in status with a colorful tatted edging! These are so delightful! I certainly look forward to seeing what you have planned for them! I like the scalloped edges and the way you have stitched them on!

    1. Hi Kathy, The scalloped edges with blanket stitch came with the hanky when I got them. It was quite difficult sewing the edging in. I had to use the invisible thread and a very thin needle.

  2. They are both lovely. The edgings coordinate so beautifully with the printed design and colors.

    1. Hi Fox, I was quite pleased to find Fruit Fizz matched the hanky but yet it added some contrast too. I think it worked well.
