Ever since seeing the photo of my great grandmother, Florence, wearing a pocket on the outside of her skirt, I have wanted to make a wearable pocket. Especially as on some days, I select clothes depending on whether they have pockets or not, I am lost without pockets!
The photo of Florence wearing the pocket is shown on this page, and you may have seen the embroidered stitched piece in my studio.
Sometimes in workshops, I keep a small shoulder bag on me at all times to be able to quickly locate my phone and sewing materials, but it is cumbersome. So, by wearing a pocket it means it can be more conveniently tied around my waist, balancing weight and making things more accessible.
The felt panel is 100% wool, and a beautiful weight so that it is serviceable but still soft. The pure wool British threads are joy to stitch onto the wool felt.
I just had to name this Florence, I wonder what Florence would have thought.
