Tutorial Tuesday :: DIY Leggings Pocket from The Petite Sewist

Women's pants rarely include pockets, let alone pockets large enough for your cell phone, so I was incredibly excited to find this DIY Leggings Pocket Tutorial from Stephanie of The Petite Sewist! This two-part tutorial takes you every step of the way from editing an existing leggings pattern to proper assembly of your new leggings. Click here for the entire tutorial and happy sewing!

Stephanie provides clear, concise instructions for drafting the edits to your original pattern with simple illustrations, like the example below.
