Seat pockets

I wanted to have something on the back of the chairs that had a pocket. I found several places that carried them but the only problem was they were too expensive (they were $11.49...EACH!). While looking I found a pattern for the pocket.

Here is what I did:

• cut (2) 17"x36" pieces of fabric (one of a thicker solid and one of a thiner material)
• pin and sew the right sides together leaving a space about 5" not sewn
• cut the tips of the corners off, make sure that you don't cut the thread
• turn the material right-side out, pushing out the corners with your fingers to make the corner square
• sew all the way around the material
• cut a 5"x7" rectangle out of a clear plastic fabric (optional)
• Pin on the pocket fabric about 2" from the top
• fold the material like a "Z" (see photos), pin and sew up the sides 
• repeat for additional pocket
