Shannon and Lynn's Pockets and Hoops

I've finished the design for my niece, Shannon's 1770's pockets, that will be worked in corded and stuffed quilting, with white work embroidery.  The outer layer is a fine linen, backed with linen dimity and faced with same.  Pocket back will probably by a striped linen in natural and half-bleached.  Stitching will be with linen thread, the cording is a thick, loosely spun cotton yarn and the padding is carded wool.
