PLACKETS
Plackets are finished slits or faced openings designed on all types of garmentsbodice, sleeve, skirt, dress, jacket, pant, and so forth. Plackets can be of any length and width, with blunt, pointed, rounded, or stylized ends. Some plackets have buttons and buttonholes; others do not. When designed for neckline openings, the placket can end at the neck edge or be extended beyond the neck and become part of the collar. The measurement can be varied to create different effects. For shirt plackets, see Chapter 21.

Chapter 17 Draw a parallel line equal to the desired width (example: 1 1/2 inches). Label C and D and mid-point E. Band is selffaced. To stitch, fold the band at point E, with points C and D touching. Stitch across the top and on one side at band. The raw edge of the band stitches to the B side of the slit on the garment. (The band is the underlay to conceal the opening and for button attachment.) The facing is then attached to the garment, concealing all raw edges around the neck and slit. Draw the grainline.

POCKETS
A pocket is a cavity or pouch that has a closed end and is usually sewn into or onto a garment. It can be a decorative feature, a functional feature, or both. Its primary use is as a depository or temporary holding place for items or hands. A pocket opening should be wide enough for hands and deep enough to keep objects from falling out. Pockets are designed for all types of garments. Pocket size, shape, and placement should complement the design of the garment.
Pocket Classification
Outside Pockets
Pockets such as the patch pocket are attached to the outside of a garment. This type of pocket can be designed in a number of sizes and shapes, with or without a flap.
Patch Pocket
Draw the pocket design on the shirt pattern. Mark the location of the pocket by chalk, or thread for individual garments. For mass-produced garments, industry uses a drill to burn a hole in the fabric. To cover the damage in the fabric, the punch/circle symbols are marked 1/8 inch in from the corners of the drawn pocket.
Inserted Pockets
Pockets are inserted into a straight or stylized seam, with the cavity or pouch on the inside of the garment. Inserted pockets can also be stitched to the inside of a garment, giving the appearance of a patch pocket on the right side of the garment.
5" 1"
Welt Pockets
Welt pockets are characterized by a separate strip or flap stitched to the pocket opening, with the pouch falling to the inside of the garment. The pockets can have a double welt or single welt, or they can be stylized with or without flaps.

Design Analysis
The pocket can be drafted from the waistline or from a lowered waistline. The style is but one of a number of pocket variations. The small inside pocket is an option. Changing the style of the pocket will not affect the instruction. The same pocket can be drafted with an abdomen or a pleat support. Refer to Chapter 26.

Accordion Pocket
The pocket looks like the bellows of an accordion. It is a utility pocket for military and industrial garments. The pocket has now become a fashion detail for sportswear such as pants, jackets, coats, and tailored dresses. Figure 2 BD 3/4 inch (pleat depth). CE BD Square lines in from D and up from E, and mark F. Divide B to F and C to F into fourths (indicated by the broken lines). Number each section as illustrated. Draw connecting lines from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to F. Repeat the process on the other side of the pocket.
Figure 2
Figure 1 The pockets width and length should be in perfect balance with the design of the garment. Draw the pocket rectangle 6 5 inches. Mark corners A. Pleats desired: 2 pleats (or more). (Depth of each pleat is 3/4 inch, plus the underlay of 3/4 inch totals 1 1/2 inches.) AB 3 inches (two pleats). Square from A and up front B. Repeat on other side.
