Please note that we are unable to make any more handsewn handkerchiefs till after Christmas. We are still able to customize lawn handkerchiefs, but these will have to be machine-rolled instead of handsewn.
We were thrilled, very thrilled indeed, to get our hands on organic cotton lawn through KV Kuppam and Bishopston Trading.
Here's our chance to make hankies which are elegant, colourful, ethical and organic. This hand-dyed and handloomed fabric is so delicate that it was clear the only way to "treat it right" was to sew it by hand.
The long-winded process
- The fabric has first to be washed (preshrunk), dried on the line, ironed and cut in small batches.
- Machine embroidery designs (if any) are added at this stage.
- The fabric is then ironed and re-squared again (as it stretches from being hooped for embroidery).
- *Then only do we sew up the edges, a process which could take up to two hours.
- The handkerchief is then ironed again.
- We then either (1) wrap it up in biodegradable cellophane or (2) put it in a bag (of the most eco-friendly material we can find), depending on its destination, to keep it clean.
- *We can now offer machine-rolled hems which are cheaper to buy.
