This piece has been ongoing for quite a while. Vintage whitework cloth with new Broderie Anglaise cloth, joined with raised seams and embellished with pockets. I think of this as a field of pockets, there are lots of pockets on here, tiny pockets.
Some eyelets have patterned fabric behind, some are left open. There is chain stitch and there are bullion knots and French knots. There is also a lot of buttonhole edging going on, on seams and on pocket tops.
Today this looks very different. Today this is a completed, finished, backed and lined pocket with a drawstring top. I will show you those pictures tomorrow.
My watercolour paper arrived this morning. So far I have only looked at it, stroked it and gazed at it. This afternoon I might take a piece out of the pad and add some glass beads to it......
