Altered Pants Pocket


This is just a pocket from a pair of pants that I cut and altered. I'm making this altered pocket for a lady on sb.com. It's for a swap that I'm in where you are partnered up with other ladies and you make the items for each other. We were to also add something to the inside of the pocket so I figured what should go into a pocket but a pocket watch. So I made a watch that hangs from a chain that is attached to the pants pocket. It is removable if she would prefer not to have it attached. There is a cute little chippie from 3tailscraft in the center of the pocket that I embossed in gold and wrapped flowers and twigs and other goodies around it. There is also a beautiful cameo attached to a piece of fabric that I pulled the strings from to create some fringe. I received that beautiful cameo from Martica. Added lots of lace, flowers, and paper to finish it all off. Oh, and if you look real close, you'll see some butterflies flittering around.
