Continue stitching until the new pocket is connected to the pants.

Once finished, gently tug along the edge to check that the stitches are secure and evenly tightened.

If any areas feel loose, go back and reinforce them using the same stitching method.

Remove any sewing pins or clips still holding the pocket in place to avoid injury.

Give the pocket a final check for alignment, strength, and comfort.

A second round of stitching around stress points (like corners) can add extra durability.
