Well it's done enough to use... I still have to do my name and a new pincushion... But the pincushion requires me to paint a new button of Morris and I don't see that happening before I leave so the old pincushion will do until then.
I ran into a few hurdles and changes in directions but will tell about that in another post.. One pocket is trimmed with the ruched velvet ribbon and the other ended up being trimmed with some cool pleated trim I salvaged from a dress years ago.
I have a bead or two I might add and have room for some new keepsakes and a spider web.
And I do have pockets....
You can see the pleated trim on the left pocket better in this photo.

an amazing piece, it will is delightful to look at and I am sure will be greatly admired by all who see it. Congratulations on producing perfect chatelaine.
Gerry,
The chatelaine turned out stunning! I love all the little "hidey holes" you have added for storing all those extras we need while stitching. My favorite is the MP3 pocket....stitching and listening to a book, the perfect combo!
