5.9 - SLIT - Placement of the 2 patch pockets on the slit skirt

All you have to do now is position your 2 pockets on your skirt

  • Identify the location of your pockets using your "Front" pattern piece (piece 1/6): position your pattern on your skirt, trying to align the contours as much as possible (as a reminder, our pattern was built including seam allowances), and place pins at the 4 corners to determine the final location of the pocket
  • Put on your skirt to visualize the placement of the pockets with the pins you just placed. Adjust according to your taste if necessary.

💡 The placement of our pockets has been carefully studied to achieve a result that seems harmonious to us. That said, you may like to have pockets more or less spaced apart depending on your body shape. This is why we recommend that you always try them on to choose the positioning that is most flattering for your body. Learning to sew also gives you the opportunity to make your own custom-made clothes, so take advantage of it!

  • When you are sure of your placements, pin the pockets to your skirt.

  • Stitch ribbing along the flaps to attach them to the skirt
