A good pocket for the front of trousers , skirts & garments with a waist seam.
Draft a straight pocket line on your garment front from waist line to side seam, add 0.5cm out from side seam at lowest point of pocket opening, this helps the pocket sit with a little ease and stops it pulling in the side seam when worn.
Trace off each pattern piece from the draft & add seam allowances.

Press under inner edges of facings & lay onto pocket bags.
