Finally got started with that loose pocket I’ve been thinking about for ages.

Designed and cut and measured and started assembling. I got the horizontal seams done today so the structure is all there now. There will be a open pocket space, big enough for a phone, and a small zippered inside pocket for keys. Just the vertical seams left now.

The outer is piece of scrap fabric from the local charity shop. It may have been a small tablecloth in a previous life. The lining is a piece of an old fabric dying experiment that I have inherited.

This is a slow sewing project. Constructed from scratch and hand-stitched. I especially enjoy making tiny little whip stitches to secure a folded edge.
