pocket swap 1
recently i was invited to join an online group called cloth paper studio
I have put my hand up for one of their swaps, which is to make a layered and stitched fabric pocket which can be incorporated into a book (click here to see a wonderful example of the finished product)
here is my first attempt for the swap, made from brocade, damask, silk, satin, linen and cotton from my stash, as well as trimmed edges from used teabags
it is entirely hand stitched
each of us will make 2 pockets to send away, and in return we will each receive 2 new ones from other members
at least one fabric has to be upcycled (not a problem for me, as most of what i’ve used is upcycled, as well as the buttons)
I also collaged the trimmings on top for added texture, and added a little bit of embroidery
just have to find a closure for it now …
