I got the idea for making removable pockets once while putting on my choir robe. It would be handy to have a pocket to hold money and what not, but I didn’t think they would allow me to do something permanent to the robe.
So here’s the solution. I cut off the back pockets from a pair of jeans and decorated them with trim from a shirt I got years ago from a nearby discount store. The shirt was only 50 cents and cuter without the trim, so no loss.
Here’s what makes them removable. I sewed on a pinback to each pocket. I can pin them on to just about anything I want, then remove or move them around whenever and however I want. Pretty nifty right?
While I was at it, I made this mini one with one of the front pockets. I trimmed it with some lace instead for a subtle touch. I think this one is more versatile because of it’s smaller size. I may even wear it as a pin or brooch just for the fun of it.
Here’s the updated list:
