Make Some Pocket Extenders for Your Pants

So I don’t know about you, but I’m often frustrated by the ridiculous smallness of girls’ pockets. At a bare minimum, I need to be able to shove my cellphone in there – come on, pants companies! So what I started doing was making myself pocket extenders. I’ve done this several times, for pants and shorts. It’s great.

I just got this pair of jeans, so I thought I’d show you how to do it. I kind of feel like it just hasn’t occurred to some of you that this is an option, so maybe now it will. All you need is your pants, some fabric (I just took a random piece from a scrap bin), a needle, and some thread (thread doesn’t even need to match the fabric since literally no one will see it).

See? Ridiculous. Like, half a cellphone, or only 2.5″. Useless.

 So turn those inside out to expose the pockets.

Figure out how big you want your pockets to actually be. I kinda go by whatever looks like might be right. I didn’t
really measure them. Fold the fabric in half, so you have a pocket, and
then fold it in half again so you can have two equal ones.

Try to get the edges to line up enough, pin it in place, then sew up the sides! Are your stitches crazy uneven and wonky looking? Doesn’t matter; nobody’s going to see it. These are in the inside of your pants. The only thing that matters is that it holds up. So I double-did the corners, since those tend to get the most stress.

Cut open the bottom of the existing pockets.

Pin it in place, then sew around, joining the new pocket to the old pocket. I did this by keeping my hand on the inside, so I wouldn’t accidentally sew through the other side. Again, I reinforced the corners, and didn’t worry about what it actually looks like. Then I turned it in side out to make sure the inside was all joined properly.

Yay all done! And the pockets are so much bigger now!

Whaaaat I can fit my entire phone and entire hand and probably something else now, are girls’ pockets even allowed to do that?! Heck yeah they are.

You are a goddamn hero.

I am gonna do this to like everything

SCREAMING THO like ofc a 27 year old Rufus from Kim Possible looking “not like other girls” histrionic who literally cannot survive without male approval reduces womanhood to performances of femininity as a means of virtue signalling for autogynephiles. it’s all she has. 

Without adherence to femininity, shoe0nhead is a bald, beady-eyed, attention-seeking, pathological liar. Who is she going to attract, a well-adjusted man? Well-meaning friends? No, she’s surrounded by deranged NPD cases who ironically have strong inceloid tendencies (hontra, preggory, etc) while claiming that terfs are the “virgin cis”. When will cluster Bs ever not cope via projection?

June has dedicated her whole life to literally and metaphorically walking around on a dog leash for self-obsessed, grandiose men. I’d be surprised that she hasn’t trooned out herself if it weren’t for the fact that she exclusively regulates her sense of self-worth by collecting beta orbiters as a smol uwu femoid bean.

“Perky firm boobs”

Where???

Everything about that chart is just hating on the natural female body. It’s basic misogyny

“Tight buns”

He doesn’t have an ass or hips for that matter

His pelvis is a square

The hip sparkles aren’t doing him any favours

“Weak cheekbones”

Soft cheekbones are a common feature on women’s faces

That trans male looks like he could puncture a tire with is cheeks and lantern jaw

The dude who made that meme even hates women’s cellulite
