Handkerchief Pocket

It's amazing how finishing a piece changes it from a flimsy bit of embroidered fabric, into something of substance.

The white work embroidery has now had a front attached and been lined.  I also attached some interfacing on the flap to protect the stitching and to make it more stable.
The result, is a pocket that can be used. 

I shall now give it a gentle wash to take out the transfer lines, and shall look forward to trying this technique again.

    This is amazing! I like the pocket (and the embroidery of course) very much.

    How lovely is that! It looks just like something you would find in an antique linens shop. (That is a compliment, by the way)
