Hand-stitched Handkerchiefs with Crochet Borders
Hand-stitched floral embroidery meets delicate crochet lace. These are more than just handkerchiefs, they are little pieces of art for your pocket or table.

About Stitched with Love: Handkerchiefs & More
If you are choosing these for yourself or as a gift, remember that the crochet lace is colorfast. You can toss these in the machine without worrying about the delicate patterns fraying or losing their shape—my kids use theirs every day and they still look as fresh as new!
Why settle for plain when you can carry a bit of floral art? Whether it is a delicate tulip embroidery or a bold scalloped lace border, everything here is hand-stitched on quality 100% cotton or poplin fabric.
The Craft Process I do not believe in mass-produced items. Each piece starts with a pencil sketch before I pull out the Anchor and DMC threads. I love mixing textures, like my favorite dark purple and green yarn combos on a crisp white hanky. You will see the messy, honest process behind every stitch in my videos, because that is where the real fun is.
Customization & Gifting Looking for something specific? I love customizing. Whether you want specific floral motifs, names embroidered, or a color palette to match a gift, just let me know. I also work with upcycled denim for those who love a sustainable, rustic vibe. Since these are made to order, you get to pick the details, from the thread color to the lace style. It is all about creating something that makes you smile when you pull it out of your bag.
