continues the theme begun with pocket 1

Really like your pocket concept. Lovely simple shape, perfect for embellishing in a thousand different ways. And there’s something much nicer about having a pocket as opposed to a bag or purse. I’m inspired now 😉

They are nice and quick too, as they’re not too big! Mine will become a book so I’m making 7 altogether. To see a sample of a ‘pocket book’, here’s a link to click – enjoy!

Oooooo thankyou for that, another beautiful, inspirational blog to enjoy. The book will be beautiful and I like it when a project breaks down into smaller more manageable pieces.
