Using the suggestions from the 1981 Palmer/Pletsch pattern I went on a hunt for potential back pocket designs. Of course, I did the easiest thing: I googled "back pocket designs". Here's what I came up with as potential designs for the jeans I'm making from
M5515. This pattern does not have back pockets so I used the back pocket pattern from the 1981 Palmer/Pletsch pattern.
Potential Designs:

Copied lines to pocket using tracing wheel and paper:

Went over lines with tailor pencil:

Next Sewing the design onto the pockets.
Stay tuned!

That's a great place to put your own designer touch to your jeans. It's fun to play around with pocket designs.
That design would look really great if you put a decorative thread in the bobbin and sewed it right side down! I just saw an article on that technique somewhere.
That is going to be cute! Can't wait to see it.
Ivalyn, Thanks for the suggestion.
It is fun adding a design to the pockets. I'm working on finishing the seam allowances this afternoon. We will see how much I get done.
What a fabulous idea. I need to attempt to make jeans first, but will remember adding a design to the pockets.
I like it! Can't wait to see them completed.
Nice touch!
That's really cool that you are making your own design on your pockets. I'm sure it will look great.
I wanted to welcome you as one of my new followers. I'll try to post something new soon. I just lost my grandmother. The funeral is tomorrow. So I'm in a little bit of a lull. But I'll be getting back into the swing of things again. I hope to post some pretty pictures of her when she was young in a few days.
I am looking forward to see how you are going to finish the pockets. I am going to add making a pair of jeans to my sewing dream list.
Your web site is very good
I like very well//
I'll come back
See you soon..
