🧵 Let’s Talk Pockets: The Great Pocket Showdown! 🧵

Today, we’re diving into a pocket showdown, where it’s patch pockets, welt pockets, and inseam pockets duking it out for the title of “Ultimate Sewing Sidekick!” I often comment, if it doesn’t have pockets, I didn’t want it anyway, pockets are life! Let’s take a look at the top 3 and see which pocket will win the top pocket prize.

– Customize to your heart’s content! Play with shapes, sizes, and embellishments to make them uniquely yours.

Cons:
– Style-wise, they can be a bit casual, so they may not be your go-to for dressier outfits.
– If not securely attached, they can sag over time and lose their shape.
