Black and white madras blouses, stark white oversized crepe coats, mustard yellow pajama sets, sheer black lace skirts and one incredible blush pink eyelet dress embroidered with dancing ballerinas . . . in my dream world, it would be Rochas all day, everyday.

For as long as I can remember, my dad has never been without a handkerchief in his pocket. And I can’t tell you how many times he’s come to my rescue with one – even to this day, when I far too often find myself without a tissue in the most vulnerable situations. Surprisingly enough, I’ve never purchased one until recently, when I came across a lot of adorable handkerchief squares at my local fabric store. They were just begging to be embroidered, so of course I bought 10. Today, I’ll show you how to make a stem stitch, a more versatile cousin to the chain stitch, so that you, too, can be inspired to make and gift you or a friend a chic handkerchief!
You’ll need:
- handkerchiefs
- embroidery floss
- embroidery transfers
- 4″ embroidery hoop
- embroidery needle
- iron
- scissors
Ruffles have been the ever-present theme in the resort collections thus far. But only Kym Ellery can make ruffles so damn fashionably dramatic. White and black blazers and off the shoulder dresses in cascading, structural frills? And those Anita Pallenberg-inspired flared culottes?! A resounding yes.
