FLY FRONTS AND SIDE POCKETS. Diagram 26.

The fly and catch are cut by their respective fronts.

They should reach to within 2 inches of fork.

They should be cut 1½ wide.

I advise a facing left on topside for side pockets, 6 inches down from hollow of waist. It turns in and makes a thinner edge than when it is seamed on. It is better to seam on a facing on underside than to snip the inlay down side seam.

CROSS POCKETS. Diagram 23.

The topsides are generally cut as usual, but sometimes the bearer is made to go right across topsides.

Width of pocket mouth about 6 inches.

Usually placed 3½ from top at side seam, and 2 inches from top at front.

The bearer is cut as Diagram 24, the outline of topsides being followed at side seam and top, and sufficient left below run of pocket mouth to form a good pocket facing, say 2 inches.
