Pockets - Tumblr Posts
So, I got a jacket my cousin got from the op/thrift shop a while ago. I didn’t pay attention to it before today and, well.
To whoever owned this jacket before me: Why the fuck did you choose to sew the pockets shut?
At first I thought ‘oh they’re fake pockets :(’, but there was fabric inside for a pocket. The person before me had sewn them shut so well I wouldn’t have know it was intentional if not for the fact that they used some coloured thread as well as invisible thread.
If you’re reading this:
1. Pls teach me to sew so well
And 2. Pls stop sewing pockets shut
Give me big ass-shit pockets. I want to be able to fit my whole house inside, plus my phone, charger, snack, fists, cat,

Are you telling me that freaking babies have pockets and women’s clothes don’t?
Why do baby clothes need pockets? What are they going to stick in there?
Make Some Pocket Extenders for Your Pants
So I don’t know about you, but I’m often frustrated by the ridiculous smallness of girls’ pockets. At a bare minimum, I need to be able to shove my cellphone in there - come on, pants companies! So what I started doing was making myself pocket extenders. I’ve done this several times, for pants and shorts. It’s great.
I just got this pair of jeans, so I thought I’d show you how to do it. I kind of feel like it just hasn’t occurred to some of you that this is an option, so maybe now it will. All you need is your pants, some fabric (I just took a random piece from a scrap bin), a needle, and some thread (thread doesn’t even need to match the fabric since literally no one will see it).
See? Ridiculous. Like, half a cellphone, or only 2.5″. Useless.
So turn those inside out to expose the pockets.
Figure out how big you want your pockets to actually be. I kinda go by whatever looks like might be right. I didn’t really measure them. Fold the fabric in half, so you have a pocket, and then fold it in half again so you can have two equal ones.
Try to get the edges to line up enough, pin it in place, then sew up the sides! Are your stitches crazy uneven and wonky looking? Doesn’t matter; nobody’s going to see it. These are in the inside of your pants. The only thing that matters is that it holds up. So I double-did the corners, since those tend to get the most stress.
Cut open the bottom of the existing pockets.
Pin it in place, then sew around, joining the new pocket to the old pocket. I did this by keeping my hand on the inside, so I wouldn’t accidentally sew through the other side. Again, I reinforced the corners, and didn’t worry about what it actually looks like. Then I turned it in side out to make sure the inside was all joined properly.
Yay all done! And the pockets are so much bigger now!
Whaaaat I can fit my entire phone and entire hand and probably something else now, are girls’ pockets even allowed to do that?! Heck yeah they are.
the least realistic thing about star trek is that starfleet uniforms don’t have pockets and nobody complains about it
Do you think Gabriel put pockets on the clothes he designs for women? If he does... are they functional???
