You can create anything from old clothing especially if it is over-sized. It can also be used as a cheaper alternative to buying fabric. I thrifted this maxi dress and out came a crop top and fabric covered pockets on a pair of cut offs . My first idea was to make a two piece short or skirt set but I needed a much larger sized dress. I still like how this turned out because it's still a 2 piece set.
Supplies:
fabric or printed clothing item
scissors
chalk
iron
liquid stitch
Cut out two big squares from the fabric.
Place the square right side up on top of the back pocket.
Trace around the edges of the back pocket.
Fold back the edges of the square about 1/4 in away from the marked lines.
Press down flat with iron around the folded edges or hems.
Apply liquid stitch to the edges of the back pocket.
Press the new fabric pocket onto the denim pocket.
For the top cut about 1 inch longer than desired length and double hem.
