I am pocket deprived, I am also anti-purse. I’ve always wondered how hard it would be to add pockets to the skirts and dresses I have. I found this tutorial poking around on the web today and it solved my problem.
The original tutorial that inspired this post which shared how to add a pocket to a dress or skirt has disappeared, but don’t worry. One of my favorite creators on TikTok has a fabulous quick tutorial you can watch right here! Bonus, she shares it for pants. The same method for adding pockets works for all skirts and dresses that have a side seam.
Enjoy!

The good news is that I found a great tutorial over on Craftsy, so all is not lost. Enjoy!
Update: Both the link and original Tumblr are gone 🙁
materials needed: sewing machine, thread, seam ripper, pieces of fabric to create your pockets
