"Ok now we have all the edges done and finished off we are going to put on our pocket that we made. And like I said, pockets are, you can make them any style you want, color, shape, but you have to have a pocket. I think it's necessary because when you don't put a pocket on them you'll always be looking for somewhere to set your stuff. Plus it just looks cuter. So I stitch it on on the three sides. I don't stitch the fourth side. If nothing else to remind me not to stitch that shut because then it's not a pocket. Then it's just a patch. Then you're going to want to make sure you do a couple of extra stitches at the top because there's going to be more pressure right there because it is a pocket. Now you can also make these reversible by putting the pocket on before you attach the two sides, but the only thing I don't like that is it's not as secure a pocket because it's only going through one layer instead of two. So I usually just do it on the one side and make sure it's solid. And take your pins out and there's your pocket."
