OPTIONAL POCKET FACING

Finish the angled edge of the pocket facing or fold it under at 3/8″ (1 cm). Pin the pocket facing right side up to the right side of the under pocket lining. Edgestitch in place. This strengthens the pocket bag lining at the waistband. Alternatively, if you are using main fabric for the pocket bag, you can omit this step.
