Cute Pocket Pattern on jeans

These were Bermuda Jorts and were not cute. 

Since the legs would not fold over onto each other very evenly, I cut the legs one at a time.

 I put them through the washer and dryer so the bottoms would fray.

Picked out scrap fabric with a cute pattern

and flipped over to trace the outline of the pocket

When I cut, I left about 1cm around the pocket outline

I folded over and ironed down the 1cm of excess fabric

Instead of pinning, I added a few dabs of adhesive and pressed pocket down. I avoid pins at all costs- I'm not careful with them and they hurt!

 

I stitched the fabric down with pretty mint-colored thread. It was a pain in the ass to get the needle through the top corners of pockets, the seam in the jeans is thicker there, I used that tool to pull the needle through when the goin' got tough. 

TA-DA! I might do the other pocket later. I'm bored of this for now.
