I love blue and white patterns, so I made these 3 projects for gifts this year.
This narrow band was made for two projects. A little bag for a cell phone made from an older hanky I had picked up at a used shop somewhere. The pretty little embroidered flower was already on it, so I cut out a corner so I could fold the top over and just had to add a soft cotton lining. Then I added the blue and white band for a strap.
My second project was to use a napkin with a bit of blue embroidery for a needle case. I lined it with soft cotton and attach the blue and white band for a tie.
My third blue and white project was my Blue Danube pattern to attach to a linen dresser scarf.
This one is all cotton threads. See chart below.

Do you have a draft or chart for the little blue-and-white band you wove for the first two projects? The photo is pretty clear, but as a beginning tape weaver I'm still not sure I'm interpreting all the threads correctly. Thank you!
