AVFKW x Making Magazine - Winter’s Sunset Naturally-Dyed and Embroidered Silk Handkerchief Kit

~~~

Winter’s Sunset Naturally-Dyed and Embroidered Silk Handkerchief Kit by Kristine Vejar, co-owner of AVFKW.

Our friends at Making Zine have released a holiday e-book: Making Winter Vol. 1 / Gifts, and Kristine created a quick and fun natural dyeing and embroidery project for its pages! 

Spend a cozy afternoon dyeing and embroidering a shimmering silk handkerchief to give as a gift this holiday season. Red is used in this design to evoke warmth and love. To add depth and draw forth the nuances of madder, only a portion of the silk handkerchief and cotton embroidery floss are added to the pot.

Our kit includes a silk handkerchief and floss that has been scoured and mordanted, so you get to go directly to the dyeing stage! Once you've dyed your handkerchief and floss, stitch a simple or intricate design onto your handkerchief. Kristine's design evokes a flock of birds, flying into the early winter sunset. You can use her design or create your own!

You will need a copy of the Gifts e-book for the dyeing and embroidery instructions. Please purchase your copy directly from Making Zine, and enjoy the other projects included in its pages.
