    The way I did my Under-Apron pocket was a bit different.
    Angled towards the apron overlap.



    And a detail shot.



    I was real particular about my Side Slash Pockets. I did everything I could so that they would lay flat even filled. That all the stress points were good and strong. And that if you did not know they were there you would not notice them.

    The concept is that you make the Deep and Reverse pleats really deep. Sew in reinforcement to ensure keys and sharp things did not poke through.



    Add reinforcement to the pocket opening.



    Fold the Deep Pleat closed and sew in the shape of the pocket.



    Fold the pocket closed and add bar tacks to reinforce top and bottom.



    Trim everything up and you are done.

    Here is the pattern for the pocket.
