How to make a Rocket Pocket

Great video on how to sew a double-duty pocket with card slots for your handbag purse sewing patterns.
[UPDATE: There used to be a PDF download of written instructions to accompany this video, but it was removed in the big Craftsy pattern purge. We’ve not been able to find the written instructions elsewhere. Apologies, this is outside of our control. We hope you can recreate the pocket from the video instructions.]

Here’s an example of a combination pocket for you.  The ‘Rocket Pocket’ features card slots in the front, and a simple slip pocket behind – make your pockets double-duty with a two-in-one function.  Here’s a video to show you how to make one.
