Bike bandanas and hankies preview


It's so exciting to see these products come together! I love the colors, fabrics, and styles we've chosen and I can't wait to use them myself and send them off to you to enjoy as well! Today I'm working on some thin cotton bandanas/scarves/hankies that are perfectly versatile for the changing season! Wear it under your helmet for some rain and mist protection (or to keep your ears warm!); wear it tied around your neck as an extra layer of wind resistance, or tuck it in your pocket for those downhill sniffles! This thin colorful scarf packs down small, can be thrown in the washer, and is just the right size for a grab and go Fall accessory on any commute or quick trip.  Embroidered by hand from an original drawing of a vintage bike, each one is different and unique! Scarves in color combos to complement our wallets and bags will be available on the Etsy site next week! Check out the current product list here, happy riding!

Hankies!

These hankies are surprisingly sturdy and can  be washed in the machine!
Here's the back. I'm a pretty novice embroiderer, but I try to keep it neat! I love my rolled hem job though!

I love using hankies. They're especially great when I'm riding my bike and need something that will last through the commute and not disintegrate or fly away when I grab it out of my pocket! I have a few packets of Sublime Stitching embroidery patterns that I've been using to decorate squares of hand-hemmed cream linen. The one pictured above is almost done, it's my second one. The first one had a great bird on it but I accidentally left it somewhere while changing for work, rats! Hopefully someone who found it is enjoying it! I can't wait to make some more. Hankies will also be a feature in a cool new project that Dana and I are hatching. More details on that soon!
