I'll do my best to explain (real novice here):
The pattern calls for a total of 4 pieces to be cut for the pockets. I thought that I was supposed to sew the two pieces together, ending up with two pockets and then attach to the pants. Turns out, each pocket piece is sewn seperately to the pants (so, sewn four times, one per each pant leg side). The sides and bottom of the pocket are sewn together.They are then folded in towards the pant leg and temporarily basted at the top, so they are lying flat inside the pant. When the pants are at the stage of sewing the waistband casing, the top of the pocket is sewn under the casing and then the basting stitches are removed.
Hope that helps a bit!! 2/26/10 2:37 PM
