Step 5Make Pockets and Flaps
For clean edges and stronger pockets, all the pocket pieces and flaps are made by sewing together all four edges (minus a 1.5 inch opening) of a rectangle with right sides facing. Then, the rectangle is turned right side out (through the opening) and pressed smooth.
Quilted DS pocket:
Line up the edges of the 9 x 4.5 quilted square and the 9 x 4.5 un-quilted square, right sides facing. Sew along one long edge. Flip seam the right way and press.
DS flap:
Fold the 10 x 5 rectangle you cut from the accent fabric into a 10 x 2.5 rectangle. Following the method described at the top of this step, stitch around the three unfolded edges, leaving a 1.5 inch opening for turning. Turn right side out.
Pleat pocket (for games):
Fold the 6 x 3.5 rectangle you cut from the aqua fabric into a 3 x 3.5 rectangle. Following the method described at the top of this step, stitch around the three unfolded edges, leaving a 1.5 inch opening for turning. Turn right side out.
Flat pocket (for charger):
Fold the 6 x 6.5 rectangle you cut from the aqua fabric into a 6 x 3.25 rectangle. Following the method described at the top of this step, stitch around the three unfolded edges, leaving a 1.5 inch opening for turning. Turn right side out.
Two smaller flaps:
Fold the 5.5 x 4 rectangles you cut from the accent fabric into 4 x 2.25 rectangles. Following the method described at the top of this step, stitch around the three unfolded edges, leaving a 1.5 inch opening for turning. Turn right side out.
Press all rectangles flat
