Description
An 18th Century Pocket, wool hand embroidery on linen. It was stitched by machine. An historical costume accessory, and my first finsihed crewel embroidery project.
It is called a pocket because 18th century gowns did not have sewn in pockets. These were worn around the waist on top of the petticoat. Slits were specially made in the gown so that the wearer could reach her stuff. They were a common embroidery project for women in Europe and Early America.

I'm always amazed by hand embroidery because I don't know how to do it (and I'm not exactly patient). it looks wonderful.
