  Step 1

  You will need: simple blouson, 2 small zippers for pockets, 1 jacket zipper, matching threads and needle, appliqué, cotton fabric for the pockets, pencil, pins, scissors, ruler and of course a sewing machine...

• 

  Step 2

  First mark the center front (CF) and the opening of the slash pockets as shown on this picture

• 

  Step 3

  Cut along the pencil marks

• 

  Step 4

  The ends of the pockets should have a Y-cut

• 

  Step 5

  Now secure all seams with the zigzag stitch

• 

  Step 6

  ...

• 

  Step 7

  Now attach your appliqué with the iron or sewing machine (depends on the type of your appliqué). You can create your own appliqué design by combining letters with figures. Usually the Lettermans have their appliqués on the right chest but you can put yours where every you think looks the best

• 

  Step 8

  Pin the jacket zipper to the center front and sew along it with the zigzag stitch

• 

  Step 9

  Now attach the zipper to the slash pocket with the pins. Take your time. To make a slash pocket requirers some sewing skills. If you a newbie to the DIY world I would suggest you skip this part. If your want to learn how to make one here is a great site for tutorials: www.bit.ly/1lpNhQj

  Step 10

  Sew on the zipper with the zigzag stitch

• 

  Step 11

  Cut 2 half moons out of the cotton fabric. The pocket lining should be able to cover the opening. After your secured the lining with the pins sew along the edges with the regular stitch. Basically the lining will be attached to the garment. That means the seam will be visible on the other side. So try to make a pretty stitch :)

  Step 12

  And this is how the finish design looks like. I hope your guys like this tutorial
