Make These Prayer Pockets!



Make These Prayer Pockets!
These tiny treasures are made of silk & are embroidered with initials for a personalized touch. You can make them in fabric of your choice, of course, & embellish them or hand embroider if you prefer! For pdf of pattern below, please email me @ elaine@ilovefiberart.com & I will send it to you!
If machine embroidering, allow 1 5/8" width for each letter or design. Cut apart into 1 5/8" x 6 1/2" strips. You may serge the edges of these strips or leave them raw.



IMPORTANT NOTE: Top of flap is actually opposite end of design on strip!! Hint:First fold raw strip & look at so that this makes sense! Fold angled top flap, right sides together & stitch on dotted lines.








Then fold up bottom half of pocket right sides together with facing tucked under to conceal raw or serged edge.



Sew side seams, right sides together.

Turn inside out. Embellish with tiny pearls or seed beads if you desire. Fill with your favorite verse, a personal note, or other treasure.
