This DIY Pockets tutorial can be used for any piece of clothing you own! Hopefully, you aren't sick of the Leather Couch Chronicles yet because you guessed it ... this is #6 of the series! I used the leather from a $25 Goodwill couch for these pockets. I tell ya that couch is the gift that keeps on giving.
I just realized I am completely addicted to stripes. Do my DIY Loafers ring a bell? How about my DIY Striped Skirt? What about my DIY Sequin Shirt? Oh brother! If you are as obsessed with black + white stripes as I am, here are all of my DIY posts where you will see black and white stripes.
dress (I just got this fancy lil' number at H&M, so I bet they still have it!)
leather (I used the leather from a $25 GoodWill couch)
glue gun or glue
Universal leather sewing machine needle
box cutter or scissors
sewing machine
jean finishing thread or leather grade thread
Cut two rectangles to the size of the pockets you want. Mine are 5 1/2" x 7."
Because pins will leave holes in your leather, glue the pockets into place. Don't glue the top of the pockets!
Sew along the sides and bottom of each pocket using your leather needle. And that's it! Piece of cake ... huh?
Up next ... the tutorial for the Peter Pan Collar you see in the photos - Leather Couch Chronicles #7. And in case you are interested, here are all of the posts from the Leather Couch Chronicles.
