Insert the needle through the edge of the fabric, pulling it through until there’s a small length of thread left on the other side.

Create a small loop by bringing the needle back through the fabric near the same spot.

Pull the thread gently but firmly to tighten the loop.

Continue stitching along the edge, spacing each loop about ¼ inch apart to create a strong hold.

Keep your stitches close together to prevent gaps and make the pocket more durable.
