INTRODUCTION

H ands stuffed down into deep welt pockets of a trench coat, collar turned up, hat pulled low-images of Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. Granddad pulling his gold watch from a small vest pocket as his excited grandchildren look on. A three-year-old playing in her favorite skirt-a blue chambray circle skirt with two patch pockets trimmed with eyelet and pink ribbon roses. Wrapping a coin in a tissue and tucking it into your pants pocket before going to the movies. Aunt Julie's lace-edged hanky draping from the breast pocket of her navy linen suit. Pockets-places to put your hands and your things, details that enhance design. I think pockets are wonderful. Start noticing pocket details and construction, and you'll think so too.

Pockets can be simple additions to easy-to-make garments, adding j ust the right touch of style. Pockets can enhance great garments-where would haute couture be without its remarkable seaming that wondrously ends at a great pocket, its oversize, oddly sized, or unbelievably placed pockets? Couture's super tailors manage to coax pockets into the most sensuous fabrics. And we, the home sewers and the clothes lovers, want the very same pockets in the very same fabrics in our closets. If we can't shop for the clothes, we shop for the details, usually from top-of-the-line ready-to-wear (why waste time copying what's already been copied ?), then apply those same details to our own creations. Of course we want our pockets constructed as expertly as ready-to-wear (or maybe better ) , so creating those great pocket details at home becomes the

challenge. I believe a poorly sewn pocket is the mark of a home-sewn garment-the kind of garment that screams HOMEMADE! I don't want any of those in my closet-and you shouldn't either!
