Fuck.

(Switched my pocket pieces. Why are they not identical? Because I squeezed them from a leftover bit of fabric. Why not cut the bigger piece to size? Because I want my pockets as big as possible, even if it means differently sized pockets. So back to the seam ripper once more to undo three lines of stitching 🫩)

@Stratski interesting. You first sew in the pockets and then close them?

@dec_hl Yes, this way I can use french seams on my pockets.

@dec_hl Also, it's kind of the only way I know 😄

@Stratski I was just curious because the instructions for the patterns I have tend to close them first.

@dec_hl I do close them first if the top of the pocket is enclosed in the waistband or in the seam between bodice and skirt. For a simple side seam pocket, I think this is the easiest way.
