#pockets

Note to self: When sewing patch pockets with flaps, turn the flap right-side-out, iron, and top-stitch before doing the same for the pocket. This prevents the pocket from being wider than the flap.

Everyone is always talking about the lack of pockets on women's clothing, but why is no one talking about the pockets that do exist being so horizontal? Is it just me? All my sweatpants have pretty big pockets, but they're so slanted that when I sit down or get up, my phone usually falls out. It's so annoying.

unfortunately the only thing worse than No Pockets is Bad Pockets, because they lull you into dangerous complacency. you think, ‘I have pockets! I don’t need a bag!’ and then once you get too far from home to turn around you discover that your phone doesn’t fit in your pockets, or that objects are in danger of falling out of them, and then you find yourself juggling your essential objects for the rest of your outing.
