Pockets around the web: Essay on why girls need pockets

The Washington Post has a nice essay on the importance of pockets for girls' freedom and independence.  Thanks, anonymous reader, for sharing!

Pockets around the web: Scottevest Sandy Skirt review

Sorry I missed a week!  Things have been busy in pocket-land.  However, I just ran across this very promising review of the SCOTTeVEST Sandy travel skirt (there is also a longer version called the Sandra).  The pockets look fantastic.  This company looks to have a lot of good pocketed items... the Maddie Cardigan in particular caught my eye.

Pockets around the web: patch pockets

The Colette sewing blog has a fun feature with lots of pictures of unique patch pockets.  They are good ideas for sewing or modifying existing clothes!

Pockets around the web: Saf-T-Pockets sewing patterns

Has anyone tried Saf-T-Pockets sewing patterns?  They advertise functional pockets so you don't have to carry a purse.  I see shirts, skirts, jackets, coats, and pants just on a quick skim over their website.  They look promising.

Pockets around the web: Svaha dresses and skirts

Brittany has sent me a link to a website with great science-and-other-themed dresses and skirts.  While I don't have one (yet??), they advertise their pockets as functional!  That seems highly promising.

Pockets around the web: Poche Posh pocket clothes

I was reading one of my favorite knitting blogs yesterday when I came across a link in the comments about pockets.  Apparently there's a new (?) online store called Poche Posh which specifically advertises that all their clothing has pockets!  Of especial interest are dresses and skirts with pockets, which can be hard to find at all with any pockets.  They also have some pants and cardigans too.

Pockets, a necessity

I love pockets and I find them necessary.  This blog is devoted to the details of pockets in women's clothing.  Sadly, you have to shop in person and go through dozens of pairs of pants or skirts or dresses to find one with functional pockets.  Women need clothes that are not just decorative.  Pockets are critical in the smartphone era (while smartphones can be larger and harder to fit into even generous pockets), but have been handy for storing things like oranges, scissors, and gin since olden times.  Here I will feature clothing and accessories that are known to have good pockets; pocket measurements and descriptions; and pockets in the news.
