Easy Rounded Pockets Tutorial. *img heavy*

[Katie]

This is for the sewing challenge and I'm hoping I got it in the right forum.


#1 Cut a cardboard template 1/2 inch smaller than your pocket.

# Set machine to a long stitch. Tack/secure your stitch at the pins, then sew around the curves leaving long tails....you'll be gathing in the next step.

#3 Standard gather here...pull loose strings while holding template in place. The fabric should gather right around the template.

Thanks for the tutorial. :) I never thought of using a template - it would make things so much easier.
