There’s Something in My Pocket

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:

• hangers
• bed
• mirror
• dresser
• skirt
• pocket
• lamp
• night stand
• wardrobe
• rug
• framed art
• curtains

Six down, six to go.  Now back to the miniatures.
