Hearts and Flowers Pocket
This downloadable workshop is inspired by the 17th Century pockets found in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. I have given the decoration a slight Elizabethan theme using hearts and flowers as a simple motif. The pocket is made from cotton velvet and in this workshop you will learn foiling and collage techniques, machine embroidery and construction techniques.
