The back zippered pocket on the Pacific Leggings is one of the best features. Leggings and yoga pants rarely have pockets, and if they do it’s the small card-size pocket along the waistband edge. Not super useful, and definitely not secure. The Pacific Leggings are designed for practicality with a nice big back pocket. This pocket […]
Here’s a quick post on sewing the pockets, including making pocket templates, for the Granville Shirt! This is the fabric I chose: It’s a beachy, summery printed cotton voile. It’s from Spool of Thread, bought last summer, with the intention to make a shirt for the summer. At least I’m ready for this summer instead! I made this […]

If you’re using a very lightweight fabric, you might not want pockets in your garments, so you aren’t tempted to put heavy things in them and ruin your garment. […]
We’re going to start sewing for today’s post! The first step is to sew the pockets in our Crescent Skirts. These type of pockets are called slash pockets. I love this type of pocket construction! It’s simple, it’s easy to get good results, and it makes a comfortable pocket. Plus, it’s easy to make them […]
