Whenever I get together with other sewing pals, the first few minutes are always kind of like a geek girl fashion show. Seams are examined, fabrics are touched, prints are squee-ed over, and handiwork is admired all around. Then, without fail, one of us will compliment another’s cute new skirt, and the sewist will respond with a grin, “IT HAS POCKETS!!” And, with that, the skirt will immediately become everyone’s favorite garment ever. Because, pockets. They’re magical.

If my years of being part of the sewing community has taught me one thing, it’s this: [functional] pockets make everything better. And, when said functional pockets are added to a comfortable skirt, it’s pretty much the best thing that can ever happen. So, if you too are on Team Pockets, you’ll love this helpful tutorial from Radiant Home Studio for adding pockets to almost any skirt pattern.
