What’s the one thing that makes any project better? A pocket of course. What makes it even better is if it’s a patchwork pocket. And the great thing is that adding a patchwork pocket to any project is super easy.
I like to add pockets to my pants. Not only is this a great way to add utility. Like I did on this pair of thrifted pants that were lacking any pockets. 
Add a pocket can also be a way to show off your personal style. I added a cute heart pocket to my jeans in addition to some visible mending. 
Another project you may want to add a pocket to is a bag. Sure a simple tote is great for carrying your stuff. But a pocket helps you keep things organized. I’ve enjoyed making reversible tote bags with pockets. 
An apron is another great place to add a patchwork pocket.
You may also like to add pockets to a pillow, a journal, or even a quilt. Really the possibilities are endless.
Use my Quick Win Pocket pattern and any 6 1/2″ quilt block to add a pocket to your next project. My sampler booklets are full of block options.
