ABCD in Fig. 49. Lines AB and CD are parallel and the lines AC and BD are at right angles to them.
Divide the lower line in two marking the center E. Then mark the two halves in two again, marking the centers of these portions F and G. (See Fig. 49.) From points F and G, draw lines at right angles to line CD.

Fig. (47) Diagram for pointed pocket pattern
Mark these lines the depth you want the points, as points H and I. Draw lines from point H to points C and E, and from point I to points E and D.
In cutting out the pattern, allow seams at the sides and lower edges F and a hem at the top.
