Mustard & Catsup: A Hand-Rolled Hem Headkerchief
This headkerchief was inspired by the Purl Bee's hand-rolled handkerchief. I didn't really follow their directions, 'cause I was out in the world without a computer — but mine was fun to make, with its whip-stitched edge. I made it with roughly 1/2 of a fat quarter of batik fabric that I got at one of my LYFs, Round Robin Fabrics. It even had little bits of wax still on it (at first I thought it was kid schmutz, but I remembered what it was from my own adventures in batik).
I don't make it over to the other side of town much, but each time I find myself at RRF, I really enjoy the store and its owner, Robin. We talk quilting, craft blogs, and kids — just like here, but IRL.
TTFN,
Michelle

lovely fabric... i need to head over there one of these days.

My family is from Europe and so I have seen many of those in my day. :) They always made me smile when I saw my 96 year old great grandmother wearing it to go to the grocery store. :)
Cool, just what i was thinking about today...rolled hems... haven't done that before...
All that hand stitching! Gah. It is very lovely way to showcase that beautiful fabric.
Perfect for bad hair days!
Love it! Especially the rolled hem.
I love the headkerchief on you. That picture is wonderful. I came across a picture of my mom in the late seventies wearing a head scarf and she looked like a timeless beautiful peasant woman. You look the same in this picture.
I love your blog! I've been lurking for a long time and I think your crafts are fun and often very pretty. Thank you for sharing with the world.
