I learned to embroider when I was a kid, when everyone was really into cross stitch (remember the '80s?). Eventually, I migrated to surface embroidery, teaching myself with whatever I could get my hands on...read more

Embroidered Handkerchief Project: Free Pattern & Instructions

 

Amazon Books

Embroidered monograms fascinate me, and I love to see the art of hand embroidery displayed on usable linens and household goods. The best way to add a personal touch to these types of items is to add a monogram. But sometimes I get stumped when trying to think up a pattern!

Designs for hand embroidery can be found all over the internet – it just takes some looking, which unfortunately, can take time. That’s why I put together the list of online hand embroidery patterns – so that you don’t have to spend as much time hunting! The list grows slowly, and I’m always glad to take recommendations to add to it.

Recently, I came across another gem. I just love it.It’s a very pretty monogram and embellishment pattern. The pattern is shown as an embroidered handkerchief pattern, but it would look great on guest towels – perfect for a wedding gift, for example – on pillow cases, or even on the front of a tote bag.

The monogram design is offered by Plaid Online, which is a website devoted to all kinds of craft stuff.

So that’s the page with the monogram project on it. Below the photo, you can click for a pattern. They also give you an alphabet, for the non-A people out there.

If you like monograms and embroidered household goods, check out this embroidered monogram pattern, and try it! I’m adding it to my (very-very-long-and-ever-growing) list of things to do …. someday.
