I don't cut any fabric, but I insert a cotton pocket between pleats, I have to put an extra piece of horsehair canvas inside the pleat to strengthen the edge of the fold. the pocket is carefully stitched in , and then I stitch the tartan layers together just to reinforce, which also helps to stop the pocket gaping too much.

It's fairly straightforward , but I'm not sure it's entirely simple, but it's certainly worthwhile giving it a go!
