Pillow covers

The other day in the doctor's office, the lab lady had on a shirt with an extra pocket stitched over each frot pocket. They were stitched at an angle with the "high" side being toward the center front and the low side an inch lower toward the side. My usual pockets are a rectangle divided into 3 parts. I want to try the "new" idea on my next apron to have double pockets. Just wanted to share! Barbara in Florida ( 80 degrees )

That sounds interesting. Be sure to post some pix when you've done this.

I find that I am using pockets more and more. It's better for me to put my wallet and cell phone in a pocket when I go to the store than it is for me to carry a purse. I found a hunting vest on sale that I bought for this purpose, too. That takes care of a few Kleenex and my keys as well.

My pants pockets always have a small patch pocket inside. It was originally a "watch pocket"; pocket watches have gone the way of the dodo, but there are often small things I want to find without taking everything out. I also put a patch pocket on the outside of the pocket, which I call a "passport pocket"; I usually use that for large bills or a debit card.

The pieces in the picture are to be folded in half to form the pockets.

Nowadays I catch one side of the "watch pocket" in the side seam, but I haven't taken a photograph of that version.

into the side seam is how that pocket is done on jeans. (and usally a rivet on the othre corner.)

I find that my trousers all get holes in the right rfront pocket, from my keys; also the trouser front right there is the first thing to wear through.). I've started making the bottom third of the pocket bag fron double. solves both problems with one stroke. Next pair of jeans I make, I'll line the back pockets as well, which solves the next place holes appear.
