A Square Patch Pocket: Skirts have but little trimming these days except a pocket or pockets. Often it's the pocket that gives the style to the skirt. The neatness and nicety of the tailoring of a pocket, makes a plain skirt smart.
A pocket, suitable for a skirt of heavy material such as tweed or homespun, is shown in Fig. 44. The diagram for making this pocket pattern is shown in Fig. 45.

First, decide on the dimensions that you want the finished pocket. It may help you to draw the pocket on the skirt diagram. Never make a pocket exactly square, an oblong pocket, on account of the variety of the lines, is far more pleasing to the eye.
