Step 12Sew an EASY pocket.
Lay the second 18 inch piece onto your work surface:
right side down for an inside pocket
OR right side up for an outside pocket.
Place the recycled hip pocket from your jeans, right side up, in the center. Sew all the way around, using a zigzag stitch, to prevent unraveling.
After you sew the pocket down, trim off the excess cloth around your seam, leaving about 1/4 inch. When you wash the bag, it'll fray just a tiny bit, giving your bag a casual look, but your zigzag stitch will keep everything secure.
Technical Note: Because this pocket came from cargo pants and had a cover, I put it on the outside.
