Make Square Pockets.

This is a simple pocket design with elements found in the Cosmic Cactus pillow design.

The 4" x 4" small pocket seen in the jacket made by Josephine is suited to a child size jacket, but is too small for an adult size jacket.

To provide a bigger pocket option for an adult pocket, I have enlarged the pocket size.

There are three size options:

  • 4" x 4" small pocket.

  • 6" x 6 medium pocket.

  • 8" x 8" large pocket.

There are two upsizing options:

  • Option 1: No sashing and upscaling the child size block. I’ve done the maths for you!

  • Option 2: Make the child size block and add a sashing around the block.

 

Same pocket, different look!

A simple change in your fabric selections can change the look of this pocket.
