pocketses

I put away the pattern pieces for that 1930s VV dress today - I realized it's infinitely smarter to allow myself more time to finish up all my Fort Fred bits and pieces. So I thought about all the things I still need, and decided to work on the least important of all of them, the pockets. (I have a perfectly serviceable pocket, as I've mentioned, it's just gotten dingy. And I want a pair!)

Pockets are partially sewn together now; I'm French seaming them because that seemed like a good idea when I started...kind of a weird shape to flat-fell. But I hate French seams even more than flat-felled seams, so there's that. Should finish them tomorrow because, seriously, pockets should not be this extended project. Unless you're the slowest sewer in the world...oh wait.
