The charcoal pants that look gray really do go with the "black" looking flaps. And when they were worn right after the buttons were removed, the seat split open just beneath the pocket itself. Well, well. It seems that the flap can be used for reinforcing the butt of the pants on the inside when I machine sew over the area. Not going to give these up immediately after they are finally made right! Thanks for your suggestions. We are a creative lot!Handy Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03132709938216842143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496213195434238095.post-68006032353984350902012-02-24T16:14:27.168-08:002012-02-24T16:14:27.168-08:00i've been trying to think how we could re-purp...i've been trying to think how we could re-purpose (i feel so trendy!) those pockets. one idea i saw in a catalog: at the bottom of a short cardigan, boxy and a bit flared at the hem, were knit pockets. the fabric was stripes (yippee for stripes!), and the pockets were the same striped fabric, but turned, making those pockets a fun design item. not certain that corduroy pockets from jeans would work, but a lot of clothes don't have pockets -- and need them!Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496213195434238095.post-81922986558982570162012-02-21T07:25:23.237-08:002012-02-21T07:25:23.237-08:00great! no more snags in that beautiful, hand-knit...great! no more snags in that beautiful, hand-knitted sweater!Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496213195434238095.post-23246426463284425912012-02-21T05:14:26.740-08:002012-02-21T05:14:26.740-08:00Isn't in funny how those snaps just pop off on...Isn't in funny how those snaps just pop off on their own, but try to take them off yourself!!!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07435370349554811512noreply@blogger.com
