I’d been dreaming up this idea in my head for a while after buying these cute red pants for $1 at a rummage sale. I didn’t realize when I bought them that they didn’t have pockets in the back. I thought it looked kind of silly and came up with a quick fix. Hello Kitty pockets! Natalie is in love with pockets of course, what 3 year old isn’t? Since I grew up with Hello Kitty I couldn’t resist.
To make the pocket I traced a simple image of Hello Kitty to make the pattern. I used white linen (two layers) and lined the pocket with red fabric with tiny red hearts. I embroidered the face on the kitty and added the bow by using some ribbon. Then I stitched the whole thing on the pants, a little tricky, but not too bad.
oh…that is so cute
What a neat idea! I love being able to add to or re-purpose perfectly fine clothes!
Waaaaaayyyyyyyy adorable!
sooooooo cute and so unique!
um. LOVE! i love the idea of shaped pockets! soo trying this someday!
Adding a cute pocket like that is a great idea. My 3 year old would love it! I might have to try it one of these days!
So cute!
