Add a Pocket

You might not actually use them, but we think t-shirts with pockets are great. Pockets just add an interesting little touch to what is otherwise a boring wardrobe staple. And you can give your t-shirts some pockets with fabric, scissors, and cardboard. Just use the cardboard to trace your design, cut your fabric, and sew your new pocket to whatever shirt you like.

The best part is pockets look perfect at home when you mix and match fabric, so your new pocket doesn't have to match your shirt. In fact, it sometimes looks more interesting when your pocket doesn't match your shirt.
