Yes, in my last post I promised crochet, but things got a little crazy and I ended up doing some embroidery instead. This is something I've been wanting to work on for some time now. Monogrammed hankies. I've made them before, gifts for family or friends, but I would like to start making them to sell on Etsy, and maybe offer "kits" or patterns as well. So I'm going to be testing some over the next few weeks. I made an "L" for my best friend a while back and I really wish I would have gotten a picture of it, but I forgot. Anyway, all I do is draw my design on paper with a dark pen, and then I trace it onto a white hankie with pencil. ~ Pencil because it washes out.
Then I snap on a hoop, pick three colors of floss and stitch it up!
Yes, the photo is a little out of focus, but our camera is old and I've been having a hard time with it. Hopefully we'll be getting a replacement soon. Any ideas on what we should get? We're thinking Cannon, but I've always kind of been a Nikon girl...
Ok, next post you might see a little crochet, but I'm not making any promises!
