The lined patch pocket is a classic -- useful as well as decorative, it can coordinate or contrast with the garment on which it's sewn. Materials:
2-3/4 yards cotton shirting
Eight 3/8" buttons
1 yard fusible interfacing
McCall's shirt pattern
Sewing notions: scissors, thread, hand-sewing needles, pins, etc. Steps: - Cut pocket and an identical piece for the pocket lining.
- Mark the stitching lines of the corners with chalk before stitching so the corners will be exact (figure A). Begin sewing the pocket from the bottom edge, leaving a 2" opening so it can be turned (figure B).
Clip, trim and turn the pocket. Press flat. Use a point turner and be sure all the corners are properly turned. - Stitch across the top of the pocket at 1".
- With the pocket pinned to the shirt, start at the 1" stitching line and sew up to the top edge of the pocket, to 1/4" away from the pocket edge. Pivot and stitch to the pocket edge, and continue stitching around the perimeter. This creates a triangle-shaped reinforcement at the pocket opening (figure C).
