Finished Pocket

I know this is late (the bags and purses challenge was in October), but I did do most of the embroidery in October, even if I didn't finish assembly until now. I made this using a kit that Mike bought me from Wm Booth Draper, although I lost the linen tape that originally came with it. I used some cotton tape from the stash instead. It is based on this pocket from the Victoria and Albert Museum.
