In July 2011, I received a phone call out of the blue from someone in a movie props department. She needed some handkerchiefs embroidered as props for a major movie that was being produced. Would I be able to help them?<\/p>\n

Um, sure! I conscripted my sister to help me, and together we embroidered two handkerchiefs for an un-named “I’m sorry I can’t tell you what movie it is” movie. The designs were supplied to us, and we just did what we were asked. I did the flowers on both, and my sister Prue did the leaves.<\/p>\n

On finishing the second handkerchief, I took a photo of the one I had in my possession. I’m hoping that Prue took a photo of the other one, which was a different design.

\"Gatsby<\/a>

Daisy Buchanan’s handkerchief for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

In time, we figured out that the movie was Baz Luhrmann’s production of The Great Gatsby. With the release of the movie already in America, and the impending release elsewhere, I decided now was a good time to finally show you the handkerchief.<\/p>\n

We deduced that because it features daisies, and because one of the main characters in The Great Gatsby is Daisy Buchanan, that it is a prop for Daisy (played by Carey Mulligan). We have no idea if the handkerchiefs ended up being used in the movie. We do hope so!<\/p>\n

If you see the movie, and if you see the handkerchief, I’d really like to hear that it made it in. Let’s do a bit of Great Gatsby handkerchief spotting! It could be my only ever starring movie role!<\/p>\n

Added later: This is the second of the two handkerchiefs, with a different design.
