Process

Before taking this class, I was interested in refining my hand-sewing technique. I had a lot of cotton cloth with a tight weave on hand. Though I had bought two yards of it as unlabeled scrap material, I think it may be thin cotton or a bleached muslin. With it, I stitched (by hand) a large handkerchief, approximately 22x22 inches, with a running stitch. (I make this square of fabric into a handkerchief, rather than just embroidery onto scrap fabric, because I wasn't sure of how I would like to display my work when it was finished; a handkerchief would be inoffensive regardless of the outcome.)
