Pockets!

If you have a body-worn configuration for your (or your little one's) CI processor, you can tuck it into a pocket.  You can find things that already have pockets in the right places, or you can add pockets.

Pockets were mentioned on the Listen-Up website as being sewn on everything from leotards to Halloween costumes, but I knew pockets were needed even before I saw that page ;). What I really needed was HOW to make those pockets well, and patterns and templates.

In a few future entries I will post patterns for various Neptune-specific pockets, since that is what I have to work with.  You don't need a Neptune to use pockets, though! I know some of the other baby /toddler set ups have a body-worn component, or maybe you just want a perfect place to tuck a spare battery holder. Vest pockets, breast pockets, pockets on the shoulder of your sleeve...pouch pockets, secret pockets, super cute pockets!

Pockets allow you to tuck cables in, and possibly do without the bulky clips that come to attach the Neptune to clothes. Pockets allow you to personalize the way you are holding the CI, too. You could use a favorite pattern or even make pockets that look like super hero badges!

If you sew even a little bit I think you will be so inspired by this set of pocket tutorials that you will WANT to sew pockets onto everything, just to try some of the techniques out!

The blog (ikatbag.com) has so many great tutorials and lots of fun ideas. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have been.
