"Here I am going to sew on one of these pockets; our layered pockets and I'm using a zipper foot so I can get up nice and close to the edge. You want to give it a lot of reinforcement stitching to begin because that's where the pocket will get most of its pressure and then sew right along the edge of the pocket. You can put a little reinforcement on the bottom; put the needle in and pivot and just follow that pocket all the way around. Now we'll prep this pocket; this is our next layered pocket, you want to trim around so you have a little bit of edge hanging out; something to sew. And then we'll fold down this top piece and open up the pocket and just sew right across the top. And then we can apply this pocket on the next layer. So here's our, our jeans and just place the next pocket here and sew that down. Remember to do some good reinforcing back and forth several times to give it some good strength."
