How to Add Pockets to Pocketless Skirts & Dresses

A basic method for setting pockets into the side seams of your cruelly pocketless garments.

Also, please do try not to be too offended by the plaid matching. I have no valid excuses.

The pocket material was purchased from Amin Fabrics, NYC.
All other skirt materials were purchased from somewhere on 39th st in the New York garment district, although as it was made around four years ago, I cannot recall the precise sources; however I have recently seen a similar tartan available at A&K Fabrics 39th st if you are interested.
