Hey Everyone… I’m back on the Ponte Knit Jeans this week. Today I worked on different front pocket designs that would be less bulky.  I have two to share with you, plus I also want to show you how to raise the rise of the pocket pieces…so they agree with the front leg if you adjusted it.

The first way I’m going to try to reduce the bulk at the base of the front pocket bag is to off set the bottom edges of the facing and bag.  The second way is to create a one piece design that folds at the base of the pocket so there’s no need to finish edges.  If these designs do not give me the smooth front leg I’m looking for I think I’ll eliminate the front pocket bag all together.

Check out these designs and let me know if you have questions.  I’ll be working on them so I can show you the results on Thursday.     Friday I’m flying off to Titusville Florida to teach a two day Jean and Tee Fit Workshop… Super excited to get down there and spend time with these ladies… I’ve had the opportunity to meet some of them at last year’s ASG Conference, and they are all wonderful :)
