Fishy Sewing

Example bookmarks (these are bigger than the ones I'd be selling but the pattern work would be similar):

poorly-lit WIP shot, but. more cowboy sewing has been in progress the last few days, mostly while watching Midsomer lol

the pockets in these pants were miserably small - everything would pop out of them every time I sat down on the toilet 🙄 - so I’d been toying for a while with the idea of replacing them. this side is done, although I might rip out the bottom stitches and extend it even further, as due to a minor fuckup I only ended up adding about an inch of depth. I also, as you can see, thought it would be fun to extend the donor fabric up past the pocket’s edge to the side seam and the waistband. I stitched heavily around the visible edges the same way I did with my patches, just bc I really like the look.

the other pocket is currently in progress, though without the peekaboo panel, because I’d have to remove the watch pocket to make it lay flat. (I dig the asymmetrical look, anyway.) I am making that one considerably deeper than the first, though, and if I’m happy with the result I’ll go back and add more fabric to the bottom of the first one.
