Super Cool Chair Tent

Step 5 Preparing and Attaching the Pockets

If using new fabric, hem the bottom and one side edge of all pocket pieces. Make sure the 4 pockets include 2 with hemmed left side edges and 2 with hemmed right side edges. The unfinished edges will eventually be sewn into the seams upon completion of the tent.

If using pillow cases, all edges should already be finished.

It is now time to add pockets to the side pieces (using either the pillow case pockets or those you have prepared).

Pin each pocket to the top left and top right corners of each side piece making sure the hemmed edges are to the inside and bottom of side piece and the unfinished edges are along the sides and tops. Baste the sides and tops in place to keep from shifting during construction and stitch the inside hemmed edge 1/4" in making sure to reinforce the end of the pocket with a zig-zag stitch as it will get the most stress.
