Chaos Remended

The hanky in chaos was mended beautifully. It felt like 1000 loose ends to sew in, but I managed to get it done. I folded my pretty printed white on white cotton, ironed it down and hand stitched the border to the edges before running each side through the sewing machine to tack down the folds. It turned out quite pretty, I think.
In Othello, the handkerchief is the thing, the "ocular proof" (however false it turns out to be) that leads Othello to distrust and ultimately murder his beloved wife, Desdemona. It had it's own little part to play, and I was very happy with how it turned out.
