Ok, so today I said to my beloved husband, "I'll just take an hour or so to whip out some pockets, and then I'll be done!". Well, it took about 2 hours, because I had to try to get fancy. I shouldn't brag, it gets me in trouble.


Here are the bits I cut off the bottom of the jacket. They are lined, so will make good pockets.



Just cut down to size (I tried as best I could to match up the chevron pattern of the tweed).



I always want to get a general idea if things are going to work, so here I just folded the edges and placed it under the flap to be sure it looks reasonable.



Now to iron down and quickly sew the raw edges.





All going quickly and smoothly at this point, but then I decided to get a little fancy...
