Hello friends!
\nIt’s a new year! It’s a new change of gear.
\nHow ’bout sewing some pockets??<\/p>\n

\"\" Pockets!\"\"<\/p>\n

We’re not related.<\/p>\n

(But speaking of unrelated things…this is my new favorite background. Half Square Triangles for all future video backdrops! They are so happy.)<\/p>\n

Okay back to Pockets. I really love pockets<\/em>.
\nIf there happens to be an item of clothing in my closet that does not have pockets, I never want to wear it. In fact, why did I even buy it?? Pockets are a must! And they are so easy to sew, especially this kind.<\/p>\n

They’re the kind of pockets that you can ask mid-project,
\n“You think we need some pockets? <\/em>
\nYou think we need some pockets.<\/em>
\nOkay, we’ll add some pockets.”<\/em>
\n(Name that movie)
\n((And sorry. Brad Pitt and George Clooney are not part of the pocket-sewing process.))<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"So let’s make some easy<\/em> pockets for your pants, shorts, or even a skirt.
\nThese skinny pants are so much fun (they’re another spin on the KID Shorts pattern<\/a>). I love them! I want them for me. They remind me of the stuff I wore as a kid in the early 80s.<\/p>\n

Just add a bit of piping (the homemade stuff<\/a>, or the pre-made kind from a fabric shop)…<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Throw on a pair of DIY Saddle Shoes<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And you’ve got one sweet looking ensemble.<\/p>\n

\"\"…with a lot of personality.
\nClara kills me with our photo sessions.
\nI give a little direction, she gives me a lot of robo cop and high kicks.
\nOr maybe it’s more Freddy Mercury?
\nYes.\u00a0 Definitely channeling some Freddie.<\/p>\n
