My home-made pocket square

[gusvs]

My wife made me this pocket square in cotton. It is her first attempt, but rather nice I think.





Next up are these three cottons:



After this, I hope she will agree to do some linen and silk ones as well

Fun. I like the one on the left.

Nice. I wish I had a wife who would do this

Love it. The rolled hems look good. What size is it?

I tried this myself a while ago. It's painstaking, but quite relaxing. Maybe you should have a go!

Nice. I'm wondering whether I ought to keep a look out for nice bits of fabric. I suspect if I have a go myself, my wife might take pity on me and finish it off

The handwork looks superb! I often have my bespoke tailor hem pieces of interesting cloth which I happened to find somewhere as a pocket square. I assume earing a square made by your wife is a far greater (and: cheaper) pleasure!

I dropped by a bridal boutique a while ago and picked up a bunch of silk bolt ends ridiculously cheap, which I've given to a tailor to see what he can do with.

I'm proud to say that another SF member occasionally sports a "California Dreamer original" square. Hopefully he's not too embarrassed to wear such a thing in public.

FWIW, according to an online size conversion chart that I used earlier, 30 centimeters is 12 ½ inches, making your 30 X 30 centimeter pocket squares 12 ½ X 12 ½ inches, gusvs.

I think you can find one if you just cross the border to the Mainland

Very nice fabrics. This inspired me to try and make my own PS.

I'd love to see a close-up of the needlework. What kind of thread did she use?
