1. Take the rectangle of fabric, fold in half (height-wise) and press. With a seam allowance of 3/8” (use the 5/8” allowance if you’re worried about staying straight) sew along the folded edge. This will create a casing for your elastic. Using a safety pin, slide the elastic through the casing. Align both ends of the elastic with the edges of the fabric and sew in place.

2. Lay the pocket down with the lining fabric on top (see above photos), pin in place. Sew the lining fabric to the pocket from one end of the elastic around the bottom to the other end of the elastic, leaving a seam allowance of ¼”-⅜”. Then, trim the excess pocket material the same as the lining fabric.
