1 Iron 

the fabric before you start folding if desired. If the fabric is wrinkled or has bumps in it, then
you might want to iron it first. This will help to ensure that your final result will be neat. 

2 Cut the fabric into a 11.5 by 11.5 in (29 by 29 cm) square. This will allow you to make a
handkerchief that measures 10.5 by 10.5 in (27 by 27 cm). 

3 Fold the edge over on 1 side by 0.5 inch. Place the fabric so that the wrong (back) side of the fabric
is facing up. Measure from the raw edge on 1 side of the handkerchief and fold the fabric over by
0.5 inch.

4 Pin the folded edge if desired. If you are not concerned about poking holes into the fabric, then
insert pins into the folded edges of your fabric to secure it. Place the pins perpendicular to the fold to
make it easier to remove them as you sew. Place 1 pin about every 2 to 3 in (5.1 to 7.6 cm) along the
folded edge.

5 Press the folded edge with an iron to crease it. Iron over the edge of the handkerchief that you just
folded. 

6 Repeat the process on the other edges. After you have finished folding and pressing 1 edge of the
handkerchief, do the same for the next edge. Repeat until you have folded and pressed all 4 edges of
the handkerchief.

7 Sew the folded fabric with a backstitch.
