About

In this workshop you will learn how to add a patch or inset pocket to existing clothing you already own. You will make your current wardrobe infinitely more useful! Decide how big a pocket you want to add–what will fit in the pocket? What’s the best place for your pocket?

You will learn how to draft a pocket pattern and add pockets to your garments…but be careful--you may get addicted!
