This drawing shows a yellow-edged pocket with two curved flaps. Inside, there are rows of tiny flowers and leaves in soft colors—pink, blue, and green—stitched in careful patterns. The background is plain, letting the embroidery stand out. The pocket looks like it’s meant to be sewn onto clothing, with delicate stitches forming bouquets and knots. The colors fade slightly, showing it’s old. If you like this kind of detailed stitching, look up embroidery.
