The patch pocket, as seen in Lessons 87 and 107, is very simple to make. Hem tops and turn in bottom and both sides and stitch on garment. Sewing Apron pockets are made in the same way, except that their outer edge is usually joined in the facing or with the seam of the ruffle.

The lap pocket as shown in the figure of the coat in Lesson 96, is the only one very much in evidence these days. The lap must be cut on an exact grain of the goods and should be lined with silk or some light material. The pocket should be of heavy mercerized goods made into a pouch the desired depth.

Back stitch the pouch into the slit of the garment and stitch on the lap.

To keep the slit from tearing into the cloth, it should be fastened as follows: Measure one-eighth inch above and one-eighth below the slit and mark. Then draw your thread from the top mark in a straight line to the bottom mark and back again on the opposite side of the goods. Repeat this process until you have firmly secured the slit—then bring the thread through and work over and over, letting the needle pass through the entire thickness of threads from the bottom mark to the top. After a row of stitching has been made at the bottom and both sides of the lap, back stitch the pouch into the slit of the garment, and stitch on the lap.
