Something Old - DIY #5

My something old is Shawn's Grandma's hanky. It's beautiful: all white with white floral embroidery and delicate edges. I wanted to embroider our monogram and our wedding date on it. I used all white thread and a tiny needle so the size of the needle didn't make holes in the frail fabric.

I stretched the hanky over an embroidery hoop and lightly penciled my work onto the fabric. I covered my pencil marks with white satin stitch and then handwashed it in lukewarm, lightly soapy water. I layed it flat to dry on a white washcloth, and Last month at this time we had the weekend where we found Shawn's suit, my something borrowed and my something old.
