Pocket squares aren’t just for men. I’ve seen women wearing these accessories lately, too to style clothing in a more striking and individual way. So, I went through my wardrobe and immediately identified three garments with suitable breast pockets.
In the post Schwalm-Style Pocket Squares (1), I showed a small square cloth featuring a corner motif. Further design possibilities can be found in the small Schwalm borders—originally intended for bodice sleeves or apron ties.
They look completely different depending on the jacket, blazer, blouse, or dress.
You can let wider borders
stick out a long way
or just a little bit.
You can give particularly rustic fabrics that “special something” with it.
You can find many such small edgings—naturally without needle-lace—in my publication “Schwalm Curved Lines, Narrow Borders, and Ornamental Stitches”.
In my next blog post, I will show a Schwalm pocket square that is approximately 90 years old.
