the mark, lapping it a seam’s width over the mark. Stitch across the piece, running the stitching parallel to the mark and about a sixteenth of an inch from it. (See Pign 77)

Place the second pocket piece below the mark, lapping the top of the piece a seam’s width over the mark and stitch as shown in Fig. 78. This stitching ought to be placed about one-sixteenth of an inch below the mark.

At the end of the pocket mark, stitch crosswise between the

stitching in the upper and lower pocket pieces. Stitch back and forth several times to make the ends of the pocket firm.

Then you are ready to make the slash for the pocket. Never attempt to slash the goods
