Turn the two pocket pieces through the slash onto the wrong side of the garment. Baste the edges of the slash together, press and stitch around the slash again for trim- ming. The two pocket pieces will lie on top of each other on the wrong side of the gar- ment. Stitch the two pocket pieces together, running the stitching a seam’s width from the edees. s(oce lic. 31). If the garment is unlined, bind the raw edges of the pocket pieces. Stay the ends of the pocket on the right side of the garment with tailors’ tacks. (See. fia, 32.)

To make a slash pocket with flap you pto- ceed much the same as for a plain slash pocket, inserting the flap between the garment and the pocket piece at the top of the slash. Do not cut slash until pieces are attached.
