In Martha Stewart's LIVING magazine for February there was a photograph of a collection of beautifully engraved lockets. For some reason it made me want to make a "locket" out of fabric and embroider an "engraving" on it's front. I even thought I would embroider hinges and a clasp of some kind. This is my first attempt at a fabric locket. No hinges or clasp on this one. It seems to be finished as it is. A thin ribbon would be just right for hanging it around your neck.
I want to try this again maybe with different stitches and thinner thread to get even more detail. But I think this one is lovely and would make a sweet Valentine for someone you love. Just like a real locket.
