Handkerchief Obsession!

It is flue season and my workplace is infested. I don't have enough floppy-sleeve sweaters to be able to never touch a door handle or keypad buttons, so I decided to make a handkerchief! It's super easy.

Step 1: Cut an 8.5" or 12.5" square out of a prewashed, lightweight fabric (like linen).
Step 2: Press down the edges .25"
Step 3: Use a rolled hem stitch to finish the edges. Use this link if you want to learn how to do that.
Step 4: Press and use OR continue to Step 5.
Step 5: Embroider, stamp, or otherwise embellish. Then press and use.

This is the very first handkerchief I ever made!
I have gone a little farther in my fight against door-germs and made a spray to blast mine with.

  • 8 oz distilled white vinegar
  • 8 oz distilled water
  • 20 drops clove essential oil
  • 17 drops lemon essential oil
  • 10 drops cinnamon essential oil
  • 7 drops eucalyptus essential oil
  • 5 drops rosemary essential oil

Now I want to make more. Like, one for each day of the week more. Since Skyrim is my favorite game, I'd like to incorporate something from that. Shadowmarks seem like a good idea.

I'm also a fan of the Hold shields. Someone made some great art for them here: https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/hold-shields-of-skyrim.211538/

My sister wants a bowl of petunias to go with my whale, and I'd like to do a monogrammed hankie for my husband. Or maybe he gets a triforce.
