Pocket

Clothing/Dress/Costume

Entirely hand-stitched Patchwork pocket. The front is made of simply pieced 1820-30 prints, bound with blue ground print and backed with fairly thin indigo-dyed cotton with a woven border that is almost certainly an umbrella fabric. Lined with woven plaid cotton. Straight bottom; brown plain weave ties, short on the proper left side, long on the other.
