Easy Peasy DIY Pocket Tee

Hi Guys! Sorry for the lack of updates over the weekend, I've been busy busy busy! Anys ways, it's finally Spring!! YEY! I love spring, it means that summer is even closer. To celebrate a thought i would give you a quick tutorial on how to do pocket tees without sewing anything! It's so quick and simple and takes about 15 minutes to do.   I do it all the time when i fancy something different to wear.

Things you will need:

- A T-Shirt

-Small piece of fabric

-Iron on Hemming Web (you can use fabric glue too)

-A piece of cardboard

-Scissors

1. The first thing you need to do is decide on the shape and size of your pocket.  I used a small piece of cardboard and cut it 15cm x 15cm, you can be a bit more experimental if you like, I was a bit stuck for time. Your pocket can be many shaped and sizes, use your imagination.

2. After you have cut out your template place it on to your fabric and draw around it, then cut it out with a extra 1cm hem allowance. If your fabric if dark and you can see your outline, pin it to the fabric and cut around it that way.

3. Fold the edges of the fabric over the template (this helps keep the edges straight) and iron then down to create hems all the way round.

4. Place the hemming web underneath the hems and iron until the glue has melted and sealed the edges of the pocket.

5. If you want to add anything to your pocket now is the time, you can add buttons, ribbon or even contrasting fabric to make it more interesting.

6. Postion your pocket on the your t-shirt, make sure its straight and in the place you want it, using a pencil lightly draw around your pocket. Take your pocket off then apply hemming web inside the lines around the edges (remember to leave the top edge free, or it won't be a pocket tee ha).

7. Place your pocket on top of the hemming web you have just layer down on your tee (make sure there is no web sticking out the edges, if it gets stuck on your iron its a nightmare to get off).  Then iron away until the glue had melted and the pocket is sealed onto the T-shirt. 

There you go, all finished! Enjoy your new T-Shirt! There are endless choices of colours and fabric you can do. This is my tutorial  so its probably not the best but if you need to know anything else just leave me a comment and i'll let you know, I think I've pretty much covered everything :)

Whats do you guys think? Will you be giving it a go?
