A book that I would recommend on the state of the fashion industry, featuring a very good table of who the big names are owned by is, Stitched Up by Tansy Hoskins.
.
The completed pockets waiting to be attached, all the edges are seamed, the selvedge at the top is hard to distinguish because it's so fine, that's how the weavers rolled a couple of hundred years ago.
Bottom of pocket, hand stitched on with original hemp thread using modern but authentic beeswax.
Can you make out the top selvedge of the pocket?
I love how the different thread has taken up the dye and slubs.
A close up of the mending on the pocket. No other part of the apron had to be darned, the sheet had worn thin in the middle so I used it from the bottom selvedge upwards and the darned pockets are purely for my amusement!
