Adding pockets to a garment is like icing a cake… you are simply dressing up the style. The bonus is that in adding a pocket, you are also adding function. You now have a place to store your change, cell phone, or other items.

Garment Designer allows you to add pockets at various locations on a garment. You can choose from a variety of styles, and then, you can move the pocket around on the garment to position it where you want it to be. This will all print out on your paper pattern.

We just published a video on YouTube which will walk through the mechanics of how to use the Pocket features in Garment Designer. Click below to go watch that video, and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel so you are notified of any future videos.
