A while ago, my friend sold me this skirt which is a replica of Pngelic Pretty's Milky-chan of the Fawn Skirt. It was missing some details though, so I decided to treat it as a blank canvas for my own personal alterations! so I'm doing a series of tutorials to show you how to do this yourself. This tutorial is based on others I have seen, but is modified to be even easier and cuter!

We're going to start by making a template. Fold an A4 piece of paper and folding it over. Draw half a heart like so:
cut it out and unfold, adjust if necessary Now you should have a whole heart shape.
Pin to 2 layers of fabric for each pocket. I'm making 2 here so that's 4 layers. Cut out with a seam allowance.
Sew 2 heart pieces together leaving a gap for turning.
Cut into the seam allowances all around like this:
turn and iron. Pin to mark where you want each pocket to open.
Top stitch around the top, starting at one pin and ending at the other.
Select a button and sew a buttonhole on each pocket according to your machine's guidelines (alternatively, hand sew it).
Position the pockets on the skirt and pin.
Top stitch up to the stitching you made for the opening, closing the turning gap in the process.
Sew on the button of your choice (do this before sewing on the pocket if your machine can do this for you!)
