This is a printed booklet for a hand sewing project, not a finished product.

Popular from the 17th to the 19th centuries, tie-on waist pockets were an essential accessory to a woman’s wardrobe. Making a pocket was a skill learned at an early age, part of the progression from girlhood to adulthood. A very portable project, it could be easily picked up at odd or stolen moments, alone or with others.

This tie-on pocket is a perfect addition to a modern day wardrobe. It may no longer contain a nutmeg grater or lock of hair, but it is the ideal spot for a phone or garden tool. It is a simple hand-stitched project to steal away a bit of treasured time.

Approximate finished dimensions: 8" wide x 10.5" tall with a 5" deep pocket opening. (20cm x 27cm x 12.7cm)
