We will show you how to modify your Fit Pants pattern to add a "jeans style" front pocket and a casing waistband. This sewing hack will work for any pants pattern you own that has pockets. I used Stretch Denim and topstitched them to look just like my RTW jeans. You can add rivets and buttons for more detail if you'd like too! I chose to add front pockets using the hack in this tutorial, as well as, back pockets and a faux fly. I just love the way they turned out.
