A friend of mine has commissioned me to make a couple of messenger bags. I'm once again using this great pattern from the weekend designer (the same pattern I used for the army owl tote). The only thing lacking from the pattern is pockets. My friend is a programmer, so naturally has lots of gadgets to carry about. So I want to include pockets with a bit of volume. I've made them a couple of ways, but it's usually a trial and error thing for me.
This tutorial in Cut Out and Keep shows a couple of ways to achieve nice pockets.
Here is another for cargo pockets on pants. On yhis, the top is a fixed width, but the bottom of the pocket will expand.
Happy pocket making!
