You Will Need (3 things)

  • matching Thread
  • 5" square Fabric or old t-shirt
  • Tshirt

Steps (4 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    If your t-shirt, already has a pocket, remove it with a seam ripper. If not, measure where you want your pocket to go.

  2. 2

    Cut out your pocket using the original pocket as a guide. If you're using a t-shirt as your fabric, use the hem of the t-shirt as the top of the pocket, as seen below.

    I made mine about 1/2 an inch larger on each side since the original pocket was really small.

  3. 3

    Iron down the sides of the pocket, and then carefully pin it to the shirt. Sew around the sides of the pocket with a straight stitch and then press.

  4. 4

    Sew around the sides of the pocket with a straight stitch and then press. And you're done!
