Making 18th c. Patchwork Pockets - Entirely From Scraps! | The Fabric Scrap Chronicles

Or why projects you think are not going to take that long always take way longer than intended.
I still had fun though. 18th-century tie-on pockets can be a lot of fun, and these definitely were. Not to mention how they are really excellent projects for practicing new techniques and using up some of the scrap fabric that is always piling up from other projects.

I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS, EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM. HUGS TO YOUR CAT.

My favorite is embellishment. So, the extra embroidery looks wonderful to me!

[@isabellaferretti7279]

My favourite is the embroidered pocket, but they are both lovely. I had not thought about feather stitch having most of the thread on the topside, that's useful to know. Very much enjoyed the goodbye kiss from Enya at the end!

Enya gives the best kisses. 🥰

The little flowers and leaves are so cute and fun!

[@KristineVike]

Thank you! They were fun to do as well. Definitely recommend. 😊

You have such patience! The embroidery is a perfect touch!

[@KristineVike]

Thanks! I do like doing these small details. 🥰

The featherstitches are so neat! And the little embroidery added is very cute! (And the few colors of embroidery floss I have would actually work well for featherstitches with leaves and tiny flowers 👀)

[@KristineVike]

How exciting!
I was given a box of embroidery floss. So my projects are largely dependant on what is already in there. 😊

The embroidery is AMAZING. And I love the fact that you used it as both decoration and pad-stitching. Congrats on the amazing pockets!

[@KristineVike]

Thank you! I really like this kind of embroidery. It is most relaxing in the evening. 😊

What beautiful pockets!

[@jennifernolen8111]

They are both beautiful

[@jenniferstocker5462]

I love the subtle feather stitches with the neutral linen!

[@KristineVike]

Thank you! They were fun to do! 😊

[@kellybryson7754]

Both sides are beautiful. If it had been me, I would have mixed plain and decorative on the same pockets.

[@leisongivangomo4478]

Gorgeous!

[@KristineVike]

Thank you!

Beautiful filming.

[@alissaimregeis]

This is so helpful. I didn't know the name feather stitch. I'm planning some embroidery for a quilt top. 💙

[@KristineVike]

I am glad it helped you! 😊
