Hand Embroidered Handkerchief with Initials Posted on 15 August 2013 and filed under Miscellaneous. This post is also available in: Croatian How do you choose gifts for your friends? Do you find that challenging? To me, finding a gift can be a puzzle difficult to solve – I would like to give something that is personal, nice, useful, and that will make them happy. And if possible, that should be something I can make myself… Some months ago a friend of mine and I had a thorough discussion about gifts for gentlemen. About things that are useful and that are beautiful because they are classical. Cotton handkerchiefs were included in the agenda. My friend took his handkerchief out of his pocket (never without one!) and explained to me why it is very good for a gentleman to have a handkerchief handy at all times. In case a lady cries or sneezes so a gentleman needs to hand her a handkerchief, in case that a gentleman’s forehead perspires, in case that eyeglasses need some good cleaning… I absolutely agree :-) So just in time for his birthday, I had the puzzle solved: personal – yes, with initials, nice – of course, useful – listed above. I’m going to make hand embroidered handkerchief, actually two, for my friend! First I washed two large white cotton handkerchiefs – to make sure that they would not change their dimensions later in wash. Then I choose letters for the initials. As I did not feel like bothering with printing and copying onto fabric with carbon paper, I copied the letters directly from the screen to the handkerchiefs. The pencil had to be very soft, and the pressure almost none. Using cotton thread in two shades of blue colour I hand embroidered the initials, AS, embroidering tiny stem stitch. It has not happened yet that the thread I use for embroidery bleeds colour when washed. But you can never be to careful, so I tested the colour old fashioned way: some water and detergent in the pot, soak the handkerchiefs, and cook them for a while. Of course, the colour holds perfectly. I dare to conclude that my friend was happy with the gift, as the moment I gave him the handkerchiefs, he replaced the handkerchief that was in his pocket with one of them. That made me happy!

Vezena maramica s inicijalima Posted on 15 kolovoza 2013 and filed under Razno. This post is also available in: English Kako vama ide biranje poklona za prijatelje? Meni je to često slagalica koju nije lagano složiti – željela bih pokloniti nešto osobno, lijepo, korisno, i što razveseli. I po mogućnosti da taj poklon sama napravim… Pred koji mjesec sam s prijateljem imala temeljitu diskusiju o poklonima za gospodu. O stvarima koje je dobro imati pri ruci i koje su lijepe u svojoj klasičnosti. Na dnevnom redu su bile i pamučne maramice. Prijatelj je izvadio jednu takvu iz džepa (nikad bez nje!) i objasnio mi zašto je korisno da ju gospodin uvijek ima kod sebe: ukoliko dama u gospodinovom društvu zaplače ili kihne pa joj treba dodati maramicu, ukoliko se gospodinu uznoji čelo, ukoliko naočalama treba čišćenje mekanom tkaninom… Apsolutno se slažem :-) Kada se bližio njegov rođendan, slagalicu sam već imala složenu: osobno – da, sa inicijalima, lijepo – naravno, korisno – gore nabrojano, dakle: vezena maramica, točnije dvije, s prijateljevim inicijalima! Prvo sam dvije velike pamučne bijele maramice oprala – da budem sigurna da niti malo neće mijenjati dimenzije kasnije u pranju. Pa sam izabrala slova za inicijale. Nije mi se dalo printati niti prenositi na tkaninu preko papira za kopiranje, nego sam laganim dodirom mekanom olovkom precrtala slova s ekrana direktno na maramice. S pamučnim koncem u dvije nijanse plave boje izvezla sam sitnim bodom lozice inicijale, AS. Do sada se nije desilo da konac koji koristim za vez pušta boju u pranju, ali čovjek nikad ne može biti dovoljno pažljiv, pa sam to testirala na starinski način: vode i deterdženta u lončić, maramice u otopinu, pa na vatru da malo iskuha. Naravno, boja se drži izvrsno. Usudila bih se zaključiti da je prijatelja poklon razveselio, jer kako sam mu dala maramice, maramicu koju je ima u džepu zamijenio je jednom od njih. I time me baš razveselio.
