A short 1876 instruction piece from Godey's Lady's Book for making a triangular-topped wall pocket from card-board lined with silk and covered with velvet. It gives dimensions for the front, back and side walls, and describes the decoration: guipure embroidery worked in buttonhole stitch to imitate tatting, a tatted edging with closed eyes and picots, a plaited ribbon ruche, and cord and tassels. Two pages of line illustrations show the finished pocket, a tied-wool fringe detail and the embroidery design.
