Unbelievable. I’ve been sewing since I was a preteen. I am now 80. Never have I seen a better way to make my patch pockets perfect. I use them mostly on purses and tote bags I make. Thank you.

You could use a seam ripper to open the side seams where you’d want your pockets to sit and then cut the pockets in the shape you’d like them to be, sew them onto the seam you just opened. Just be sure to use a fabric that is similar to your pants, both in weight and match colour as best you can (or coordinate a colour that compliments your pants because the pocket material will show a little when you sit down). Hope this helps you. Happy sewing!
