I made an 18th century pocket with machine embroidery // Pocketswap 2021

Pocket Swap > Secret Santa. Definitely!

[@bekytg9393]

I must admit, I'm not really into Disney, but I really loved your pocket. I liked that you thought outside the box. It made me think of doing a Doctor Who pocket.

[@ragnkja]

Do the thing! A big tie-on (or clip-on or hook-on or however you choose to wear it) pocket is an amazing thing to have!

[@kitdubhran2968]

And you can tell people it’s bigger on the inside.

[@pamwatterson3845]

I love your reaction. “A pocket in a pocket”

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

I love my pocket, it was so thoughtful and beautiful and I cannot wait to wear it with my Halloween costume for this year!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Yay! I'm so glad you like it! ♥️

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

I'm Canadian and I always find it so weird when Americans don't know Coffee Crisp! "How do you like your coffee?" "Crisp!" Lol. Both pockets were so lovely. What a fun swap!

[@atrifle8364]

My Mum's family is Canadian. My grandfather used to give us Coffee Crisps. I loved them! My sister not so much

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

@@atrifle8364 I have family in Virginia and my grandfather always made sure we took Aero chocolate bars for my cousins every time we visited them! Never Coffee Crisp, I think Grandad thought it was for adults lol.

[@kjtherrick4031]

I liked the black outlining of your embroidered Disney characters because it helped them show up from a distance. The pocket you made was really lovely and the one you received was terrific. I really like that Strinchronicity added an inside divided pocket and will absolutely keep that in mind when I finally make my own.

[@rosiec1974]

Love Stringchonicity! Mere is a Crone after my own heart!

[@annapepple477]

Oh my gosh both of those pockets are so cute. I love how the Lady Tremaine pocket is more a nod to her. And I love how super girly and sweet the Ariel pocket came out.

[@lisaowen6103]

What a nice idea . The pocket swap . It takes me back to all of you who did the Xmas exchange .

[@draughtoflethe]

I love Stringchronicity! It's so cool that you got paired with her! I'll have to watch for her video where she made your pocket ^_^ The embroidery on the pocket you made was so impressive; it's amazing what home machines are capable of. And it turned out SO cute!

[@RianShafer]

Super cute! Love the pocket you received too! I would use that a lot!

[@hadesoneiroi]

Love pockets, but I clicked because of the corset on the thumb. So pretty

[@rachelmayes298]

Stunning, everything you sew 🧵 is just beautiful. 💓❤️💓

[@FlybyStardancer]

Aaaaaaaah I’m so jealous of that Ariel & Tink embroidered project! Also I love that the one sent to you is spooky and has pockets inside! I totally feel you on everything getting lost! I have one pocket where I put small patch pockets on the inside back and I keep my car keys in one of them for easy access.

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Love this pocket swap series! Everyone has done such beautiful and clever pieces!

[@christineb5232]

i love all the pockets

[@MonaSkovJensen]

This is so fantastic! I love the pocket you did for Casey Renee Cosplay and the pocket you recived is awesome! I want til make a pocket with a pocket in it! 😊

[@rd6203]

It's such a genius touch that will definitely be pirated from here on out! 🖤❤🖤

[@theresaanndiaz3179]

I love your pockets. Tinkerbell is one of my favs. I wish I had bought an embroidery sewing machine combo. I spent around $400 for my machine and $500 for my sewing machine both on sale. I wish I had spent a bit more on a combo. I love my sewing machine but the limitations of my embroidery machine mean that I don't use it as much as I thought that I would. I love having pockets for my costumes, it never occurred to me to use my machine.

[@kayta84]

And now I want to make a pocket.... so so cute and even better, so practical 💜

[@Rozewolf]

Loved the 'squee' over the inner pocket. Both the one you made and the one you received were beautiful pockets.

[@elineruys9022]

I love these pockets! Now I know which videos I'm going to watch right now 😁. Inspiration!

[@sleepycalico]

They're both beautiful! For Tinkerbell, I do think she needed to be outlined, but it could have been in, I don't know, a soft brown or something. I don't know if it looks silly to combine hand embroidery with machine embroidery, but you could have gotten a more delicate outline doing it by hand with even just one strand. I don't know if those ideas would be useful for future projects or not -- just my thoughts. I can't wait to see the other pockets!

[@sleepycalico]

Oh! Metallic thread would have made a good outline for Tink. Gold around her body, green around her dress.

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

That turned out so beautifully. Love this pocket idea

[@hazeluzzell]

Loved watching the machine embroidering!

[@brigidscaldron]

This is a great ad for brother embroidery machine! This project came out amazing!

[@brigidscaldron]

“It’s Dora approved!”

[@onesma1729]

I am loving both the pockets! Such a fun video! Ty!

[@sandiemable]

Both pockets are so darn pretty. xoxo's Sandie

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Fun!

[@KathleenStidham]

So much fun! I love the excitement of the swaps, and the sharing of ideas and talent. :-)

[@janisi9262]

All the pretty pockets! For the outline, maybe a medium grey would be better than outright black? It's less harsh but still does the job.

[@kirabowie]

What a cute pocket! :D

[@chriscrosscrafter]

Your pocket was so adorable and the one you received was very cute. I actually think I might start making at one or two because lately I’ve noticed that all of the loungewear/pajamas I buy no longer have pockets in them, how are you supposed to carry your phone or Kleenex or anything else if there’s no pockets? I don’t necessarily always want to be wearing a sweater or something, these pockets would be an awesome option. And although I don’t have quite the sophisticated embroidery machine you do, I do have a brother machine which has a few small embroidery options and so I could probably do something very cute. Fingers crossed. Take care and stay safe!

[@kinghenryxl1747]

YOU ARE AWESOME!!

Beautiful creations!!!

I gotta get my but moving and get a channel started. I've wanted to be part of the Costuber family since the secret Santa years ago.

[@TealCheetah]

Pockets!

[@lornas-w4661]

Smarties - so UK! I love the friendliness of the swap idea - such a lovely thing to do. Wondering how all your performances went. Have just realised that edging was *hand* crocheted for this project !!!!!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

I know, I didn't realize she had hand crocheted it either! Wow! And my performances went great - thank you!

[@lornas-w4661]

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

I love the idea! The pocket you made look great. Thank you for including a link to the pocket exchanges. I really enjoyed the Christmas exchange a couple years ago. Sadly, yours is the only pocket exchange video I could find on the "playlist", and neither of the linked channels had either unboxing videos or making videos.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Mine is just the first video to come out. There will be more added to that playlist over the next few weeks!

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

@@LadyRebeccaFashions thank you. I thought you said something like that. I just couldn't remember what it was.

[@selfsufficientsue3307]

Could you explain how to adjust the embroidery so that less color changes will be needed??

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

The only way I know how to actually reorder the segments is through computer software. That's why I just went through and moved forward and backward throughout the stitch order it had, to do everything that was marked as the same color.

[@hotjanuary]

Hi! Very educational. I have a question. Why would you want your ties to stretch? Why not cut it on the grain and finish with a straight stitch for minimal stretch?

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

In this case, it's because I'm cutting them from the same edge as the binding, which needs to be in the bias. And I've never had an issue with stretching, since they're just ties.

[@hotjanuary]
