Okay, I cheated. I did not use fabric but used a pocket stamp I have had for at LEAST 5 years and have NEVER used it. I hope the challenge police won't be too hard on me.
After stamping, I sanded the pocket image and distressed the edges to make it look worn. I used white ep for the pocket flap, and filled the pocket with love - I know - so corney :# I did faux stitching around the pocket and around the card, and then added 4 button brads.
I bought this stamp set on Ebay and cannot read the entire manufacturer's name: JRL #?) Design __). Maybe someone can help me out.
Thanks so much for taking a closer look. Hope you like it.

Super sweet card, Barb. If you hadn't told no one would have realized your pocket wasn't worn, faded denim....great job in recreating that look. Love all the "loves" flying into/out of the pocket.

WOW! Barb if you never said anything, I would have assumed that was jeans material! You did a FANTASITC job with the distressing and stitching!!! Love your monochromatic card, the little buttons are so cute and the whole card is wonderful!!!

I think the challenge police could do nothing but forgive you in the face of such cuteness. As others have said, I thought it was a real pocket - great card !
