Pouches/Embroidery

Embroidered Pouch

This German, 14th-15th century Bag is a reproduction from the Victoria and Albert museum in London. It is approx 3 3/8 inches by 3 3/8 inches and is embroidered with Linen thread and coloured silks in satin stitch on linen fabric.

The bag is made from one piece of fabric folded on one side and stitched closed along the bottom and remaining side. The opening of the bag is finished with linen cloth tacked down over the top of the Bag. The tassels are not attached to the bag but are woven through the fabric of the pouch. The middle tassel hangs straight down while the two ends angle out.

A cord is strung through the pouch to close it and to hang from a belt low to the calf or ankle of the wearer.

Coins or small precious items would probably of been kept in this pouch. They were often made by ladies as a past time.
