Pockets on the bias; with a loose weave as in this suiting, one has to proceed carefully. In this case I merely starched the fabric and let it dry before cutting. One could also use a lightweight interfacing for good results.
If you don't stabilize a loose weave like this, you can get saggy and floppy pockets that don't sew up evenly.
This old outbuilding has been patched since last time I saw it. Always thought it was abandoned but maybe not!
I paired a Jane Sassaman print with a solid for each patch. I ended up hand quilting this in green with the big stitch. I wish I had taken close up pictures of the quilting...
patches is an Australian shepherd, i think. he is so pretty, he has red and white fur with these amazing blue eyes. not the smartest dog, though, he runs out in front of my car whenever i'm trying to leave Evan's house! i almost hit him every time. well, i guess i should say my mom almost hits him. lol
My daughter's travelin' pants. Ripped and worn out, the pants themselves should have been retired a long time ago, but have been fortified by a few dozen handsewn patches using dental floss. At 1:30AM on the night before she left I got the chance to shoot the textural hodgepodge. Took about 150 shots in 20 minutes.

Seriously could this man fit anymore patches on his enourmous denim jacket?
And still he looks for more
Sam Patch began working as a child laborer in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in a textile mill. When he was not working, he entertained other boys by jumping off the mill dam. By his mid 20s he was working at a mill in Paterson, New Jersey, and was jumping off ever-higher spots. He was beginning to attract crowds for his well-advertised stunts. In September 1827, he jumped off the 70-foot Passaic Falls in New Jersey, pleasing a large crowd that had gathered.
Patch continued his career jumping from bridges, factory walls, and ship's masts. He became the first of Niagara Falls' famous daredevils.
Patch was the star attraction at an event designed to draw visitors to the falls. A 125-foot ladder was rigged for Sam's jump over the gorge below Goat Island opposite the Cave of the Winds. Less than an hour before the scheduled noon jump, a chain securing the ladder to the cliff wall snapped, breaking 15 feet from the ladder. Rescheduled for 4 PM, Patch jumped on time. A boat circled near the entry point, but Patch did not appear. When he was finally spotted on the shore, a great roar went up from the crowd. Sam Patch was the first to jump over Niagara Falls and live. Bad weather and the delay in his arrival drew a disappointingly small crowd for this jump, so Patch announced he would jump again. A few days later, 10,000 gathered to watch him keep his word. His slogan, "Some things can be done as well as others," became a popular slang expression across the nation.
Patch then went to Rochester, New York, to challenge the 99-foot-high High Falls. He jumped the falls one time privately, for practice, witnessed by his companion Joe Cochrane.
[edit] Last jump
His first jump on November 6, 1829 drew a disappointing crowd, so he picked Friday the 13th to do it again. After a pre-jump celebration in several local taverns, he threw his pet bear cub off the 25-foot tower he had built at the brink. Accounts from the 8,000 present differ on whether he actually jumped or fell, but he did not achieve his normal feet-first vertical entry. A loud impact was heard and he never surfaced. Rumors were passed that he had hidden in a cave at the base of the falls, and was enjoying all the excitement he had created. But his frozen body was found in the ice in Charlotte (Rochester) early the next spring by Silas Hudson. Local ministers were quick to blame the crowd for urging him to jump, and put the guilt of his death on them.
