DIY Pocket Shirts

All activities, from sports teams, clubs, and even special events come with a t-shirt, and of course Alter Fashion Club wanted one too. Being a fashion club, our t-shirts had to stand out. We're all about being unique, but we also needed to look unified as a club. So, we came up with a super cute DIY so that everyone could put their own pocket on the shirt. It was fun & simple and everyone’s t-shirts look great on Spirit Day!

We printed a template found online on card stock and went to town.

Thanks to all of you who joined us bright and early at one of our morning sessions!

Follow these steps to make your own!

1. Download and print t-shirt pocket pattern (here)

2. Trace pattern on a fun fabric of your choice & cut it out.

3. Once you have your cut pocket, cut the edges of your pattern off on the second cut line so the pattern is smaller than the pocket you just cut

4. Trace this smaller pattern on your already cut fabric to mark a hem line.

5. Turn edges down against the smaller pattern and iron so your pocket edges are clean

6. Stitch or fabric glue this new flap down to the pocket to hem it

7. Glue or sew the pocket itself down on to the front of the shirt

8. Now you can wear your fun personalized t-shirt!
