Pocket Milestone

[atherleisure]

I finished the embroidery for the first of my pair of 18th century pockets over the weekend.



The pattern came from Romantic Recollections (https://romanticrecollections.com/product/mid-18th-century-pocket-hand/). The fabric is a medium weight linen, and it's embroidered with cotton embroidery thread that I got from a lovely lady who died last fall. The original was done in tambour embroidery, but another pocket that Denise has a pattern for was embroidered in backstitch. I'm doing this one in backstitch because I didn't want to have to have the stand to work on this as it is my sewing circle project.

It took about three months to embroider this, mostly working for two hours each Saturday but also spending a few evenings working on it.
