Maybe not with that belt, but I do like them.<br /><br />regarding the pockets - as someone earlier pointed out, cut the lining 3/4-1" shorter. when you put the lining and pocket together, simply fold the top of the pocket *away* from the lining and stitch around the pocket edges. Then when you turn the pocket right side out, the top of the pocket will be neatly folded to the inside. You may want to finish the top edges of the pocket and lining first. Also, maybe a bit of fusible stuff to keep the opening closed, in case it catches on things when you remove them from your pocket.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-61132668563644472892012-06-18T05:38:26.872-04:002012-06-18T05:38:26.872-04:00OH MAN, I showed my boyfriend and he wants a toile...OH MAN, I showed my boyfriend and he wants a toile shirt!
