Back patch pockets

The first step in sewing together a pair of jeans is to sew down the patch pockets in back. You just cut out the shape of a pocket, leaving your standard seam allowance on the sides and bottom and double allowance on top. Fold the top of the pocket over twice, press, and sew down. Fold over the sides and edges and press. Pin the pockets to the back of the pants, being careful to line them up so the two sides are symmetric. Sew along the edges.

    I like the way the back of the pants look. I don’t suppose you could tell me a bit about the pants themselves?

    They’re constructed like jeans. In fact, I copied a pair of jeans that fit me well (with a few modifications). The important thing for getting pants to look good is to try them on before you do any top stitching, while it’s still easy to make changes.
